Daisy's more refreshing than Tab Clear 'the clear cola' although probably does not have the same aftertaste. It's hard to compare her with early 90's pop sensations 'Urban Cookie Collective' so I won't. Instead I'll say that she's like a party bag that your friend's mum gives went your waiting for your mum to pick you up after a party. Ok there are a lot of tacky stuff in the party bag; finger puppets Frisbees etc but at the top there's a slice of birthday cake wrapped up in kitchen towel. You can image Daisy playing pass the parcel tries to hold onto the parcel for a bit longer as it gets passed around the circle only made to made to pass it on my one of the mums shouting 'oo hot potato hot potato'. One potato two potato three potato four One potato two potato three potato more. She would also probably be good at the game where you have to roll 6 the run around the group don a pair of gloves scarf woolly hat and commence to cut up a slab of chocolate with a knife and fork only to be stopped while doing it by someone else rolling a 6. I won't like to play Ludo with her.
