Last week I was chatting with my Medan friend and she told me a kinda shock me news about my passion. There is a pirated version of Teh Botol Sosro in Indonesia! currently in Java only if I not recall wrongly.Thanks to some lower class people in Java who steal the bottles from Teh Botol factory for some reason (economy problem or stuff if I not recall it wrongly), input the tea that they made themselves which somehow taste the same with the original one and the color looks alike also! Then they got machine to pack the bottle’s lid and Ta – da~! Teh Botol Sosro pirate version, same color, same taste. Where did machine come from ya?

Therefore, people was advised not to buy Teh Botol Sosro at warung – warung along the street. Aiyo. That’s what makes Teh Botol great. From a home made tea become available in whole Indonesia, from kampung to city. Normal price around Rp.3000,- to abnormal price which can cost 3x or more cos it was sell in hotel or what. And now, I got to be careful and not to buy it from warung. But if it really looks alike and tastes the same, why not? Hehe. I have been buying a lot of pirate stuffs what. Upsi… But well, the reason of me buying pirate stuffs is because the original one cost way too much. While Teh Botol, price is the same. Original one is the best. But, I don’t know how to differentiate the pirate one. -__-” Let’s hope that the pirate one no longer and won’t exist anymore.

I can’t believe that tea also got pirate one. She even told me that toothpaste also got pirate one, like Pepsodent which is so famous in Indo (like Colgate in Malaysia) and kinda cheap also. -__-” Thanks God I’m not using Pepsodent.

If can’t make fake money then go and make fake famous products and get real original money from there. What else can’t be pirated in this day ah? Duh..

Teh Botol from Mark. I wish this one bottle can refill by itself. =P I just notice the lid, written there Medan – Indonesia. Wow!
