Pink lemonade. Sour like a lemon. Hold the sugar; add the real lemon. On second thought, grapefruit juice has the same taste. When I was a young working guy, I tried buying a bottle of grapefruit juice (yes, it was already invented) and I was shocked at how bad it tasted. (When you're young you have weird tastes, like sweet over sour, ketchup over horse radish, salt over pepper, coke over coffee, etc.) Being the practical (that means cheap) sort, I figured out how to get some use out of it. Every morning when I woke up, I drank a sip to jangle my brain into hurrying into the shower and to work. I hated coffee, and grapefruit juice actually did the job.
When I was a youngster, trying to learn how to be a good thief I had my run in with some grapefruit juice too. It took a lifetime to become the competent crook you see before you today. At the time, I had only stolen glances. Tried to steal a heart by mine got swiped when I wasn't paying attention, by a girl no less. But my Pa was a thief and his Pa too. It would be a crime against evolution if I didn't follow their path. So off I took to become a thief. There I stood at 16 years old outside of Sunny Side Breakfast Shack, formulating my plan. I didn't know what to steal. At first I thought a car, but I didn't have my license. Diamonds would be impressive, but everyone knows how hard diamonds are. So I started reading the menu on the door of the restaurant to pass the time, and that's when I saw it : Grapefruit Juice $2.25. Over two bucks for a glass of juice was highway robbery. I thought about targeting the red herring omelet, but that might be too obvious. Juice was my game. This caper wasn't going to be easy. I needed to learn the game. So I combed my hair, adjusted my collar and went inside Sunny Side to fill out an application for work. Oh I was devious right from the get go. They asked what I was good at, I told them cleaning, little did they realize I meant cleaning them out. I got hired as a bus boy. Afraid of getting caught, I decided to break up the heist into small bites that could go unnoticed. Everyday, when nobody was around I stole one cap full of grapefruit juice to bring home and reassemble. At first I made the mistake of just pouring the capful of juice into my pockets, by the time I got home it was just a sticky mess. So I found a transporting bottle and my heist was on its way. I made employee of the week three times while stealing right from under their noses. And that's the story of my first theft. Although I have to admit, once I finally had a full bottle of juice reassembled, it didn't taste too good.
I don't drink a lot of tea, but I like the Constant Comment orange spice you already have in your bowl. I mix that with cheap black team to make iced tea. Go Blazers
I really like this one: There's some evidence that there are significant health benefits to green teas, so if you are drinking tea you might as well learn to like the greens. I've argued this many times with my English wife, and sadly I don't think I'll ever break her of Early Grey and British Breakfast.
Incidentally, world popularity of beverages goes: 1. Water 2. Tea 3. Beer Damned Asia has fucked up the rankings for everybody.
I've read of those benefits too, but when it comes down to it I use tea as a vehicle for cream and sugar, and green just doesn't do a good job on that front, IMO...
