TIL: that it is correct β indeed to do otherwise would be an error β to refer to the nation in Africa as βThe Gambia,β because they have the definite article in the name of the country.
How did I learn this? Because they are a large market for the consumption of locally produced #Vimto.
Once again, #BigVimto controlling our knowledge.

Another hour!
Blowing my nose does little to clear it.
Most of my body aches.
My storm ache is queasy.
I donβt care about typos anymore.
I feel like Iβve been hit by a bus.
@Erased_Citizen, I have no idea what youβre going through, Nate. I hope you have good drugs
Partial success in my quest to try #Vimto! Thanks to discovering H Mart in Mayfair Mall (seems much like T&T Supermarket), I have got some #Ribena made in Malaysia. No sign of the Holy Grail, however.
Meanwhile, in same aisle, Aha carbonated fruity water, in Lime/Watermelon flavour!
Also, what has to be the most inherently dangerous beverage in the world, Marble Pop. You unwrap the plastic around the mouth, then you push down on the top and a marble fires itself into the narrow collar of the neck as the air pressure is released. Apparently itβs a βCodd-neck bottle,β and is designed to hold the marble against a rubber washer to seal the drink inside. You break the seal, so the marble drops and also gets out of the way as the drink comes out. I still find the sound and vibration terrifying.
