BAG DRINKS (part 2)
Remember when I praised putting drinks in bags and promised an even AWESOME-ER idea??
Well that time is here and though I’d been wanting one since Bangkok, seeing all kinds of folks toting one around, we finally found a place* to get one in Luang Prabang.

Yes, that is Coca Cola and ice in a plastic bag with a straw. The reason they do this is because all of the drinks come in glass bottles which need to be returned to the manufacturer so they can refill them. They even put the ice in an outside bag so as it melts (instantly in the Laotian summer) it doesn’t dilute the soda. Why haven’t we thought of this?
*We realized soon after purchasing this that ANY place that sells drinks in glass bottles (which is all of them) probably does this. The bags just aren’t on display.
