APOC's New Vape Flavor Awakened Beautiful Memories I Had Forgotten

What flavor can leave an unforgettable impression on you? A user on Zhihu answered: mother’s cooking, the scent of a lover, the medicine of childhood. Perhaps these specific flavors resonate with everyone in some way.

“I miss your smile, I miss your coat, I miss your white socks and the scent on you” suddenly plays on the radio, a song by Xin Xiaoqi.

Flavors are truly fascinating; they don’t have a tangible shape like other memories and are not consciously remembered in daily life. However, once we taste a familiar flavor, the area of the brain that stores memories lights up instantly, and the memories associated with that flavor flood back like a burst dam.

This time, we have developed two deeply emotional flavors for you to taste. The first new flavor, orange soda, has a lovely name—Time Thief.

The first time I tried this new flavor, I found it slightly sweet, and before I could react, a rich orange flavor instantly spread from my tongue to my entire mouth, bringing a refreshing feeling that took me back to the summer of my childhood, when I would buy Gatorade orange soda with my pocket money earned from exams to treat myself and my friends. The orange flavor is explosively delicious! Sweet, tasty, and refreshing, accompanied by laughter and burps, rising and falling~ Sometimes happiness is this simple! I really want to find a time to invite my buddies out for drinks and skewers, and let’s finish a bottle of orange soda together! This time, paired with it, is perfect.  
His experience is precisely the origin of the name Time Thief, “Time is something that catches you off guard; sometimes it’s sunny, sometimes it rains; you can’t compete with the passing days while reminiscing about the past, stealing away your youth but leaving behind a piece of you...” (Jin Qiwen, "Time Thief")

Time flies, and the years have stolen our youth; many people or events from childhood have become memories that can never be revisited. How are those brothers and people we once cherished doing?

The regrets left in youth can finally be resolved after finishing this orange soda. Time has stolen our youth but left us matured.

If Time Thief had a color, it would definitely be nostalgic orange. The other new flavor, taro milkshake, will immerse you in the world of love, saying to you: for the rest of my life, I only want to be with you.

At first, I wasn’t particularly receptive to this name because in summer, mentioning milkshakes, a warm drink, didn’t really spark my appetite, and I thought it might be a bit cloying. But after trying it, I was genuinely surprised; compared to other flavors, it is slightly sweet, but this sweetness is quite pleasant, reminiscent of the feeling of first love—sweet but not cloying, leaving a lingering aftertaste that is somewhat addictive.

During the 3 minutes of enjoying the taro milkshake, I recalled my student days. The greatest happiness back then was buying my beloved girl her favorite taro milk tea and secretly placing it in her desk, hiding in the corner to watch her happily finish it. Accompanied by the sweet taro flavor, I silently waited for many years, and now that girl is married, and I am very fortunate that the groom is me.
 
This tester’s love story is a reflection of many people’s experiences. We believe that the development of new flavors is not just to satisfy the taste buds but also to bring comfort to the soul. Beautiful love accompanies you from school uniforms to wedding dresses; no matter what flavor life brings, “For the rest of my life, through wind and snow, it’s you; in simplicity, it’s you; in poverty, it’s you; in glory, it’s you; the tenderness at heart is you; wherever I look, it’s you.” (Ma Liang, Sun Qianru, "For the Rest of My Life")#p#分页标题#e#

A young man from the APOC team shared his thoughts after trying it: “Saying countless sweet words doesn’t compare to lighting a cigarette for you. Switching to your favorite taro milkshake, for the rest of my life, one child and one you is enough.” What kind of divine flavor can evoke such feelings in someone who usually seems “not very serious”?

The stories of these two testers may remind you of your own “unforgettable” moments. Perhaps they seem trivial to others, but they are beautiful memories that you will never forget.
