According to the sellers, the drink got attention due to its name. It was called Fuljar which means a full jar because it overflows from the big glass used for drinking this soda. Other than that, the customers were quite taken by the method of drinking the soda as the sellers encouraged them to finish the drink in one sip as soon as the soda was poured.
The best part about the Fuljar Soda is that it provides with instant relief from the heat without burning a whole in your pockets. The streets of Kerala are lined with sellers selling this chilled spicy concoction only for Rs 30 per glass.
