Well,
Singtam Juice factory as we popularly call Government Fruit Preservation
Factory is in a walking distance from my home. I remember we used to play
football at its small ground along the premises during my schooling days. But
this is two decades back. One of my dear friends Sandeep Thatal who was once
posted in Kargil used to say about the pride of being from Singtam when he came
to know that the Sikkim Supreme Orange Squash was being distributed among the
Indian Army across India. Sandeep would show the manufacturing label of the
bottle of the Orange Squash to his friends and say this is from my hometown. I
can understand how it feels just to see the name of Singtam or simply the name
Sikkim when you are far from your place. Now Sandeep is posted somewhere in
Rajasthan and i had never got a chance to exchange words whether he had found
anything related to Sikkim out there!!
Coming back to Singtam Juice Factory, I was once on a visit to Tashi's house, an old friend of mine there upon came across a strange "drinking opener" the first word that came from my mouth "ambo". It was an old promotional cold drinks opener that had a name Sipup marketed from Singtam Juice Factory. The name was new to me. Well....Sipup!! Does anyone know about this?
