New on Jollibee Menu: University Floats

The UAAP fever for this year is already over but Jollibee is not yet done with it. My beloved and I visited a Jollibee branch for some refreshments and we saw the University Floats on the Jollibee menu. Since my beloved is somewhat addicted to floats, we decided to order two of Jollibee’s University Floats.

My beloved chose Green Apple float while I chose the Blue Bubblegum. Other University Floats on the Jollibee menu are Red Watermelon and Yellow Dalandan. I know that University Floats are just Sprite soft drinks that were mixed with flavoring and a sundae on top.

Here is our Blue Bubblegum and Green Apple floats:

Green Apple and Blue Bubblegum floats.

We rated both flavors of the University Floats as “OK.” This is means that they are not bad but not excellent either. Well, it is good that Jollibee keep on placing new items on the Jollibee menu. Personally, I believe that the Green Apple tastes better than the Blue Bubblegum.

We will try the Red Watermelon and the Yellow Dalandan the next time that we visit Jollibee. However, the University Floats may be gone on the Jollibee menu soon since this year’s UAAP is over. If that happens then we will wait until next year for the next batch of University Floats.

If there are no University Floats, then there will always be the regular Jollibee float.

Fasting of Lolong is Finally Over

BREAKING NEWS: Guiness Book of World Record declared Lolong as the largest crocodile in captivity. Read more about this news here.

After about one month of not eating, Lolong, the giant buwaya, finally ate the food that is being given to him by his caretakers. The giant buwaya was caught last month in the Agusan Marsh by crocodile hunters in the belief that the buwaya is responsible for the death of a fisherman and a grade school student. Lolong Buwaya was placed inside an 800 square meter pen and is visited by many people from the areas around the municipality of Bunawan. International groups were also interested with Lolong because of its immense size.

Lolong refused to eat in the past month and doctors said that the buwaya is stressed because of the situation that he is in. Because of this, Bunawan mayor Edwin Elorde decided to limit the visitors of Lolong to reduce the stress on the buwaya.

It was reported that at 10 in the morning, Monday (October 5), Lolong ate 7 kilograms of raw pork. Officials of the Bunawan Municipal Government saw this as a sign that the buwaya’s condition is improving. It was said that Lolong Buwaya was given raw pork and dressed chicken alternately.

On the other note, Mayor Elorde believes that there are buwaya that are larger than Lolong that still roams freely in Agusan Marsh.
