- Anything and Whatever
"Anything" and "Whatever" are the names of two
soft drinks made and distributed inSingapore alongside each other, by the company Out Of The Box Pte Ltd..Flavors
"Anything" is
carbonated and is made in six flavors:Cola , Cola withLemon ,Apple , Fizz Up, Cloudy Lemon andRoot Beer ."Whatever" is non-carbonated and is made in six flavors as
iced tea : Ice Lemon Tea, Peach Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, White Grape Tea, Apple Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea.The drinks have a unique packaging concept such that every beverage has a generic design, with no way of telling what flavour is contained in the can. This prevents the consumers from being aware of the flavor of the purchased beverage until they drink it. (An observant drinker can, however, make an educated guess by looking at the ingredients specification on the side of the can.)

The campaign, which was to have lasted a month, was cut short in the wake of widespread vandalism and concern that the many cans opened by passersby would become breeding grounds for Aedes mosquitoes, carriers of
