Vimto is probably the best tasting fruit soda ever. It is also super sweet - to the point where you know that your teeth are rotting and you’re developing diabetes as you’re drinking it. I believe it is available in ethnic grocers in the U.S. but it seemed fitting to have a can while I was in Dubai. Other sodas that I tried in Dubai:

Diet Pepsi - the Diet Pepsi they sell in Dubai is NOT the same thing as its awesome American counterpart. In fact, I believe what they sell in Dubai is in fact Pepsi One and not Diet Pepsi. It tasted like Pepsi One and the can did say that it only had one calorie. I like Pepsi One every now and then but it is not a substitute for Diet Pepsi!

Coca Cola Light - this version of Diet Coke seems to taste better than the nasty stuff they sell here.

Mirinda - the orange soda didn’t taste as good as I remembered it did when I was a kid.

Zim Zim Diet Cola - this stuff is pretty nasty. It tastes flat and somewhat lemony. I believe it is made in Saudi Arabia or UAE.

Overall, food in Dubai was excellent. I had really good food that you can’t readily get in the U.S. - kibbee, shawarma, falafel (heart-shaped nonetheless), Afghani bread, and lots of other stuff that I can’t remember at the moment.
