由於汽水味甜且口味繁多,通常少年們都喜歡喝。無憂無慮的他們認為,生活的滋味就只是單純的甜蜜。世界在他們眼裡,也像口味多樣的汽水一樣豐富多彩。
而那些眼中只有工作和愛情的青年人,卻用苦中微甜並伴有芳香的咖啡代替了汽水。因為,多愁善感的青年人都深深迷戀著咖啡那種成熟的刺激感。在這一時期,躊躇滿志的年輕人開始了自己的事業。然而,有時年輕人不得不強顏歡笑,因為事業和愛情都不會是一帆風順的,都會有挫折。對他們而言,體味得失都是痛並快樂著。
中年人漸漸開始喜歡茶,它清香淡出而又若有若無,它溫和淡雅而又意蘊深遠。輕輕地抿上一口,齒間就會留下淡淡的清香,而且對你的味覺也不會造成任何刺激。中年人珍惜每時每刻,因為他們現在沒有了超乎現實的渴望,也完全意識到這逐漸消逝的夕陽的美。伴著平淡而真實的幸福,他們所擁有的每一天都是甜蜜的。
老年人喝的是簡單的不含糖精、咖啡因和茶鹼的白開水。平淡無味的它經過慢慢品嚐,卻會有絲絲甜味。對老年人來說,一切名利都只是過眼雲煙,因為他們也曾在人生的風雨中摸爬滾打,也曾經歷過艱難困苦。此時,任由思緒飛揚的他們,可以舒舒服服地坐在扶手椅上。對他們來說,過去發生的一切和所有的現實都如水一般平淡無奇。
