Cobra and Nagaraya: Energy Drinks and Cracker Nuts

Cobra & Nagaraya

Break time is the time for us to pause in our work and choose a healthy snack to refuel. I am still working in one of prestige amusement center here in the Philippines. Here, I met a group of electronic technicians whose craving too much on eating Nagaraya Cracker Nuts (Hot & Spicy Flavor) and drinking Cobra Energy Drink on their break time. Break was in between 3pm to 5pm and consumption of this foods is from 15min to 30 min. Don't ask me why the consumption of a bottle of Cobra and 30 gms of Nagaraya takes at least 15 minutes. I have asked them also the same question and they just said: "try it and you will know why."

What makes this combination so perfect for them?

Is it the Nagaraya Cracker Nuts that is so addictive or the Cobra Energy Drinks?

At first, I thought there is no extra ordinary picking up a nut and zipping a cobra but when I try it, Oh! My! this is so addictive. You can buy any snacks you want but this one guarantees total satisfaction. This is a perfect combination. The longer the time you will consume it the tastiest it will be.

I think that is the secret.
