Soda in Dubai
I mentioned this last year in my photo gallery but it's still pretty interesting to me.

Diet Coke is called Coca-Cola Light in Dubai. On the obverse of the can we have English, and the reverse we have Arabic.

On the side not pictured you'd see that all of the ingredients are in Arabic only and not in English. The warnings, too.

Cool. I always wondered how to say "Phenylketonurics contains Phenylalanine" in Arabic.




Oddly enough Diet Pepsi's "Diet Pepsi", but they call it Pepsi Diet.

Pepsi Diet.




Also note, this isn't a 12 ounce can. Nope. It's a 355 mililiter can.

And the top? It's an old-fashioned pop-top.

The little differences.

Follow along in the culture shock of being recently married and (for Josh, at least) recently transplanted to Dubai.
