The worst is Coke since it tends to shoot up your nose. Being a carbonated drink, it hurts your nasal passages a little. The best thing to drink while reading ST is milk... it spews out the most beautiful. Your mates would be wondering if you're doing so form of perfomance art (like MTV's Jackass), but you can safely tell them you're reading the ST, then they'll understand in sympathy.

For instance, when I went to South Africa to conduct blog training, a South African told me that he considered South Africa to be "3rd World" and Singapore as "First".
