You'd better be careful next time someone asks you what you want to drink -- if you answer "anything" or "whatever is fine," you just might get that. These [bizarre beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/try-more-weird) aptly titled Anything and Whatever because that is precisely what you get. All the labels from Singapore marketing company, Out of the Box, look the same, but the content is a [surprise each time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-drink).

A can of uncarbonated Whatever might contain ice lemon, chrysanthemum or an apple tea while a can of Anything could be any type of [carbonated soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cans-soda), be it cola, lemon cola, rootbeer, etc.
