Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 14, 2017

Not my cup of tea.

Nobody asked to be supersized on the kombucha.

I had to google Kombucha, and it seems it’s just the hipster way of drinking alcohol in public. Without the brown bag.

What’s so sad is that Caulfield is exactly right…

People criticize “big drums of pop” all the time. In fact, a few years ago, the mayor of New York tried to OUTLAW them.

And no one pretends that big drums of pop are like Yakov’s Magic Elixir, selling them for a ridiculous price to gullible people who have been fooled into thinking that they’ll cure all your ills.

I tried it once. It made me feel both healthy and queasy.

What IS wrong with just water?

What drink is ‘pop’? Soda?

Speaking of the cost of bottled water…We drink a lot of bottled water and recently I looked into getting a home water dispenser that uses 5 gallon jugs. After calculating the cost, it would wind up costing more for the five gallon jug vs. the equal amount of bottled water from the same company. I would figure it would be the other way around!But I digress…

Water is fine the first hour of exercise. After that you need to replace lost salts and minerals. Thus, Gatorade was invented. And the rest is history.

You need to do some research on Kombucha; don’t just believe the stuff the product vendors are saying. Go back to water, the truly natural beverage.

Before I looked it up, I had assumed kombucha was what it sounded like in Japanese, tea made with seaweed.

According to Wikipedia, serious illnesses and death have been associated with this drink, and despite claims, there’s no evidence of genuine health benefits… I do guess drinking it lets you look cool and hipster and totally special though.

I remember back when I was in college (in the dark age before commercially bottled water.) Being poor students, we would take wine bottles we had emptied, fill them with tap water and pretend we were drinking really pretentious stuff.

It was not to much later that bottled water came on the market. I often wondered if one of those enterprising guys we used to party with had something to do with it.

I carry a metal drinking bottle with me and refill it at the nearest drinking fountain. Who needs to spend all that money on bottled water?

It was soda pop in the old days, just pop or soda.

LOL there something said about health! Wow nobody thought wait one sec! Gal of soda a child drinking! Love the comment that soda cheeper then healthy water

We Brits call it fizzy drinks
