Today I enjoyed an impromptu food court lunch with a good friend: intrepid gossip blogger and general internet shockster, SoJu.
Drunk karaoke - circa January 2011
Okay well “enjoyed” might be misleading – actually it was the crappiest shawarma I’ve had in months. What’s up, Anoush? You did not bring your A-game today! The company was lovely, though.
After walking with Soju to the scene of her meeting in Yorkville, I decided to have a wander through Pusateri’s on my way back to the office. For those of you who don’t know – Pusateri’s is a chi chi frou frou gourmet food store where lunch costs 85$ and they offer valet parking and pet minding for your diamond-collar-studded yapper named Pookums.
So I poked around for a while, but eventually I got tired of being shoved and jostled by wealthy matriarchs and sunglass-wearing socialites who could obviously smell the middle class on me and did not spare the snake eyes. So I grabbed the cheapest drink in the cooler and got the hell out of Dodge.
Is this crap good? Let's find out.
That drink ended up being Zevia® Natural Diet Ginger Ale. Zevia is soda pop sweetened with Stevia instead of sugar or aspartame, which is how they get off calling their soda “natural”. Yeah, cause it’s chock full of natural ingredients like citric acid, erythritol and “caramel colour”. Uh, what’s the caramel colour made of? BET IT’S A CHEMICAL!
Mmmm erythritol, my favourite!
But whatever, I eat chemicals for breakfast (literally) so I’m not offput by this. Since I currently have clear skin and am having a good hair day, I’ve decided to share my taste testing experience with you in the form of Instagram photos. Here’s my in-the-end reaction to this product:
Meh, it's okay. Not worth 2$ though.
