[edit] Flavours

Anything is carbonated and is made in six flavours: Cola, Cola with Lemon, Apple, Fizz Up, Cloudy Lemon and Root Beer.

Whatever is non-carbonated and is made in six flavours as iced tea: Ice Lemon Tea, Peach Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, White Grape Tea, Apple Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea.

The drinks have a unique packaging concept such that every beverage has a generic design, with no way of telling what flavour is contained in the can. This prevents the consumers from being aware of the flavour of the purchased beverage until they drink it. (An observant drinker can, however, make an educated guess by looking at the ingredients specification on the side of the can.)

[edit] Advertising

The drinks are marketed by Out of the Box Pte Ltd, a previously golf-focused media company. Advertising is done at bus-stops and taxi-stands by the Singapore branch of Clear Channel^[2] that designs and maintains these shelters.

Between the 10th and 21st of May, 2007, Anything & Whatever ran a 'teaser campaign' at 450 bus shelters in which empty Anything & Whatever cans were attached to the displays, framing the advertisements. The campaign, which was to have lasted a month, was cut short in the wake of widespread vandalism and and concern that the many cans opened by passersby would become breeding grounds for Aedes mosquitoes, carriers of dengue fever.^[1]^[3]
