Drinking Frenzy About to Begin!

 

In an earlier post I spoke about this beverage already. After several weeks of it being totally unobtainable, it is BACK! Yay, Captain Speedy is back on the shelves. And with a vengeance: the price. The first bottle I bought back in 2020 was RM 139. Now this!

A lil trivia copied from Wikipedia:

In 1871, Speedy sailed to the Straits Settlements in Malaya and became superintendent of police on the island of Penang. He resigned in 1873 to raise and command a body of Indian troops to restore order in Larut, a mining district in the Malayan state of Perak, for the Mentri (Chief Minister) Ngah Ibrahim.

In 1874, Speedy was appointed assistant British resident of Larut and established and named Malaysia's oldest town, ‘Thaipeng’, meaning 'Heavenly Peace'. He remained there until 1877.
