kia ora in scotland

After educating my workmates a bit on the maori culture in New Zealand and telling them that the greeting/hello in Maori language is “Kia Ora”, my lovely Scottish workmate Lindsay pops up and says “what, you mean, like the fruit drink??”.

So… I learnt today that there is a fruit drink produced in the UK by Coca-Cola that is in fact called… wait for it… KIA ORA! It, of course, takes it’s name from little ole N-Zed and comes in orange, pear, blackcurrant and pineapple flavours. Lindsay says she’s going to buy me one to sample. Funny.
