The Head, It Does A-Spin
Choices, choices. Your head can spin with them here in Doha.
Seeing as over 70% of the country comes from some place other than Qatar, you will find a variety of products from all over the world to meet the needs of the expatriate community. Here's just a few of the more, uh, interesting things we've seen.
Ketchup - Garlic ketchup, chili ketchup, sweet ketchup
Mayonnaise - Tomato mayo, garlic mayo, chili mayo, herb mayo
Potato Chips - Curry potato chips, ketchup potato chips, grape vine leaves potato chips (yuck!), rice flavored potato chips
Toothpaste - Vanilla flavored, cola flavored (ick!!)
Walking down the aisles of the local grocery stores is certainly an entertaining trip. You just never know what you might find!

That is so strange. Cola flavored toothpaste. Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose? I guess it's nice to have so many choices, though.
