The video showcases a food vendor crafting a unique beverage that combines soft drinks with an unexpected addition: condensed milk. While some might cringe at the thought of such a concoction due to potential excessive sweetness, it appears to be the latest trend captivating local taste buds.
Numerous netizens have stepped forward to express concerns about the health implications of this beverage, labelling it as "over-the-top" due to its sugar content.
Critiques on social media are saying, "Vendors, please refrain from selling excessive sugary drinks like this; buyers should also be cautious. It worries me seeing that much of condensed milk combined with soda," highlighting the unease some have toward this sugary creation.
Regardless of personal taste preferences, it remains paramount to prioritize our health and make conscious efforts to reduce sugar intake.
