I went to sultan center today around 1:30 craving for Ice Tea…
Maybe my timing wasn’t totally right, but I love going there at this late hour… So quite… Not crowded… Peaceful…
The annoying thing is, their goods selection… I know they bring amazing and weird stuff from unknown places (Mostly from USA)… But recently they’ve been lacking in their selection…
So here what happened today:
I was craving for “Lipton Ice Tea” which is a common good in most supermarkets… So I went to Sultan Center in Sharq Mall hoping to find some… NONE!!!
So I thought of finding any drinkable Ice Tea there… NOTHING!!!… There was powdered Ice Tea which isn’t drinkable unless I mix it with water and I wanted to drink some NOW!
Then I thought of checking the great collection of carbonated drinks they usually bring… All I could see is the diet “Dr.Pepper” stuff and diet “A&W” and the normal Pepsies and Cokes… Why diet? Where’s the regular ones?
I ended up buying “Pringles Extreme” and “3 Cadbury Twirls”…
So I thought of paying the Salmiya branch a visit… And I was thinking if there was no instantly drinkable Ice Tea I’ll just go home and sleep…
And yes… No Ice Tea… I really got disapointed because there’s no good goods in there anymore (Well nothing that I’d buy… And when I usually go there I just try weird and new things)…
I felt like browsing around… No new good chocolates… No new good cookies and biscuts… No new good drinks… I ended up buying “Mango Madness Cocktail Snapple” just because I felt weird going in, browsing for half an hour and go out buying nothing…
That was it… I mean, not like I didn’t ask the guys over there where’s the Ice Tea… I did… They told me there’s only powdered one…
I might went nuts about Ice Tea and all… But its not just Ice Tea, its their selection of goods collection… OK they might have a great selection in kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, cooking stuff, baking stuff, honey, jamz and the list goes on…
But for the instantly eatables\drinkables (And by that I mean cookies, biscuts, chocolates, carbohydrated drinks and normal juices, breads’n’bakes, candies, gums and whatever similar), no noticable change since March I guess… Almost same drinks… Almost same chocos and candies… Almost same chips… EXACTLY THE SAME COOKIES FOR A YEAR OR TWO… Even the local “Lipton Ice Tea” wasn’t there for ages…
Well… Thats Why I hate Sultan Ceter… But the problem is, it really became a habit to go there and hunt for stomach satisfaction every now’n’then… If Carfour can open up till 3:00 I’d go there all the way from my place (Which is abit further than Sultan Center anyways)…
LuLu FTW!
i hardly ever go to sultan anymore, and if you hit lulu during a week day its empty.
and dont they have lipton ice tea in bakalas?
they do… but there’s no bakala that opens in 1:00~3:00… oh btw i use the 24hours time format…
i used to buy this 2L of ice tea somewhere in some CO-OP… but i hate CO-OPs… >_<
That is so weird. It’s getting so close to Ramadan, and usually the shelves really start to fill up when Ramadan is coming, and when school is about to start – wonder what is going on?
I wrote a comment, and I don’t know where it went. I said it’s strange that the shelves would be so empty with Ramadan coming; normally the shelves are the BEST with Ramadan coming, and people returning to Kuwait for the start of school.
Seriously get a life
ur nagging like a little baby
if you hate sultan center that much, dont go. eassy !
chan zain they open carfour in salmiya
Intlxpatr:
sorry but my akismet plug-in hold the comments till i check on’em… y’know there’s some spy comments that i no likie likie… but yea its not that empty… yet not that interesting for me =P
d:
i’m a big baby (as i told one nurse while she’s giving me an injection) =P… i love whining and nagging… i hate sultan center… but there’s no better place to go unless you recommend a good place
pearls:
mo nag9een za7ma in salmiya y’know =.= … bas yea it’d be cool
eh its not too bad .. they do have kobe beef burgers and beef jerky >.>
and carrefour is closer to you looly .. avenues is closer to where you live, you just suck at getting there fast 😛
considering the traffic from my place to avenues?
what traffic?
dude .. to avenues in shuwaikh .. or to salmiya in the weekend o.o
i’d go with avenues, more parking and less choke points on the 5th >.>
heck nobody parks in phase 2 these days .. park there and its closer to carrefour o.o;;
no traffic because everyone is outta this country? ramadan is coming and it’ll be a great demonstration about how crowded things could be
well… good news. there will be a new supermarket coming up next june of 09 at the sale old location of Salmiya Cinema near the NBK.
that place will have a 24 hr supermarket there. hope this will give us more chance to shop elsewhere.
cheers
