Big Chill Juicebar

I simply love fruit shakes, fruit smoothies, or simply fruit juice. These cool creations are a great way to help quench a personâ€™s thirst especially during very hot and humid summer days in the Philippines.

During my college days, I would often go to this fruit shake stall that was just inside our campus and get their refreshing mango shake. I watch as the stallâ€™s â€œmanangâ€ sliced one cheek of a very ripe mango into the blender, put in some sugar, and then follow it by crushed ice. A few punches of the blenderâ€™s buttons and ta-da! a small plastic cup is placed into my hand for a measly P10 (ten Philippine pesos).

That was *** years ago (hehe). Now a small cup of fruit shake will set you back about 4 to 5 times that amount. And today, many fruit shake stalls and specialty juice bars have sprung up all over the metro. Many of them also use artificial flavoring instead of fresh fruits that I have gotten used to. I guess that is what commercialization has done.
