I took a trip out to Sprouts Food Market yesterday to get some natural, ground chicken for the two youngest of our kitties. They are on a raw meat diet and I actually make their food every week. Ground chicken, liver powder, fish oil and some other powdered stuff. It smells nasty but, they like it and this is supposed to be so much healthier for them. Anyway, so here I am in Sprouts where I am surrounded by organic, natural foods and stuff. I have been trying to eat better, lots of fresh veggies, chicken and fish these days, so I decided that I wanted to poke around and see what kind of juices I could find. So many in the regular grocery store have high fructose corn syrup in them and that stuff is just horrid. I found one that looked yummy and thought 'hmmm, this would be tasty with some ginger ale added to it'. So off to look for some soda. I found this 'natural' diet soda called Hansens and wondering how good or bad it might be, decided to pick up a 6 pack and try it. I also grabbed a buttermilk bath soak (I am going to treat myself to that tonight) and some perfume oils.
I got home, put all my finds away, made a batch of stinky cat food then decided to treat myself to a spritzer with my new juice and all natural ginger ale. I grabbed a big wine glass, filled it with ice, mixed my concoction and took a sip. After downing half the 6 pack in a 2 hour time frame I have come to the conclusion that Hansens Diet Ginger Ale is liquid crack. I even woke up this morning thinking about a tall glass of that gold liquid and rushed through my A.M. work out at the gym so I could get home and pop a can open. Larry made a trip to Sam's Club later on and called from the store to see if I needed anything. "Yes", I replied. "More Hansen's. In fact, can you see if Sam's carries it and if they do, grab a case. No wait. Grab two".
As I sit here savoring my last can and wondering if we could fit a tractor trailer next to the house I think it is safe to say, I am hooked. I wonder if there is a Hansens 12 Step program.
