Jamaica, land of sub standard goods…???

Wata with WOW??!!! 

Now i sat the other day wondering....if things will ever get any better for this little country of ours.... its now approaching the Independence weekend, and we are 49 years old as a nation...amidst much strife and violence over the past years, however, our little island has been referred to unofficially as "Jamaica, land of weed and manslaughter". Quite a shame, i must admit, but i have to admit...things arent looking bright here... in terms of the quality of our goods.. i would like to proffer "Jamaica, land of sub-standard goods." Everything here is lacking in some way or the other. That became apparent to me one morning when my grandmother beckonned to me ugently while we were making breakfast one morning. "close the coffee bokkle quick before the flavour fly out!!!!" she said to me. 
Dear God...it is serious.. the things today have no essence.... I think she is homesick for some real country coffee... the ones in the bottle arent as hot as they try to make it seem.... and i can quote many other examples of our downward spiral into purchasing substandard goods and being unable to do anything about it....
** Cran wata?  It should be changed to wata-cran…or the drink with 95% water and 5% cran. nothing to "WOW" about there... 


Cran wata… drank the cran, was left with the wata.. wow… town hav the betta goods… is what I thot as I consumed the sweet, cran… I was like, this must be the cran with the WOW in it… can't believ I had to come all the way to town just to get to experience it…….. u haffi use up allof your senses to taste the cran in the wata.sometimes when I a hav lunch an my fren a chat too much, I cant get to enjoy my cran wata as I  do when im in silence… I hav e to concentrate….
** the GAs station has a sign saying turn off all cell phones and switch off the engine for safety. no one does thta, and i have never seen a gas station here having any alarms or explosions of the sort. is it that the gas is weak, of a d phone dem nuh good?
Condensed milk.. look like it was just squeezed out of the cow and canned.. watery…
Baked bean sauce? Betta dem she baked beans in reddish coloured wata…
The snack that have more air in them than there is food??? Lord hav mercy…
Juici patty to flakey crust patty…more patty in your lap than in your mouth…
Malnourished taste patties… meager…
