  My colleague and I went WTF for weeks until we broke down and asked the vendor.

  Thats why the answer was so surprising. It really is orange juice. It's kinda like a nickname because some vendors found 'orange juice' tricky to pronounce.
  
  For a while, I actually thought some people drank Guinesse Stout for breakfast...

  So theoretically...whats the longest string of words in one single order?
  
  How about 'kopi gao siew tai ka nai beng bao' or 'coffee thick, less sugar, more milk, iced, take away'
  
  Sounds more intriguing than 'iced venti latte'. Maybe I should try that at Starbucks
