😂💀 At this point, just make me a DLC character in Mortal Kombat...
Because I’ve been FATALITIED by hunger too many times.

🥤🔥 But wait – there’s hope. The Coca-Cola Beverages Zambia Food Festival is coming to the rescue like a last-minute health bar refill! And trust me, this event has more flavor than a Scorpion comeback special.

👊 Here’s what’s dropping at the fest (besides your jaw):

🥢 Food so good it’ll hit harder than Liu Kang’s bicycle kick

🧃 Coca-Cola combos that’ll have your taste buds screaming “FINISH IT!”

🎶 Live music, games, and vibes so high, even Raiden would approve

🎮 Side quests: food challenges, and many more!!!

😩 I’m out here dodging responsibilities like Sub-Zero dodges fireballs, but even I’m putting my controller down for this one. You should too.

🎟️ Get your ticket. Pull up.

If I’m not at the Coca-Cola Food Festival, I’m probably in the NetherRealm rage-quitting my life choices.
