Ha ha no, without gps it's hard to tell whether you're within 10 metres of an X in the middle of a reserve. Also it was hot and very still and a bit creepy way out there tbh. Must have missed out on treasure! But more likely to belong to mafia than pirates, so I'm good with that.

Normally I have an innate sense of direction (I assume it's just your brain subconsciously keeping track of your movements, sun or stars position, etc - weirdly I still have it even though I no longer do much as a pedestrian) but subway exits can be disconcerting!

Banana essence, in coconut water or apple juice is my new guess.

Ooh, it came in a glass at a restaurant but maybe it was something like this? I can't find ingredients but it seems to be apple juice with banana puree in it. I guess that would give you a thin drink not like a smoothie, but would be sweet and bananary?

Honestly it feels like two lifetimes ago so I'm not sure that I'd be able to know if it was the same even if I tried it today, I just remember it was sweet, bananary, thin not thick and creamy like a smoothie, and that I ordered a second one because I liked it so much. It seems to make sense that it might come out of a can. It wasn't further explained, so I guess it's a bit like ordering a coke.

Ah that looks really yum. I must say this convo has given me a real desire to try banana juice.

I wonder if some of the Asian shops have it? I quite like some of the drinks like cold chrysanthemum tea.

I once had some sort of canned plant flavoured drink. Pretty sure that was in Indonesia too, we went through a local supermarket and bought a bunch of stuff we'd never seen before (mostly junk food).

Anyway, I can't really recommend canned plant drink. It tasted too healthy, and had some slimy stuff in the bottom.
