I don't know if any of the rest of you are also secret or slightly embarrassed lovers of the appealingly-( and amusingly-)packaged vitaminwater® line------but they're ridiculously expensive. Well, maybe not as ridiculously expensive as the tasty and also appealingly-packaged Steaz® green tea sodas---Image hosted by Photobucket.com. But still.

Anyway, I just discovered that you can stretch a vitaminwater® with regular water quite a bit without losing the pleasant taste. I had about a quarter of the bottle left & filled it nearly full with water---voila. Extra vitaminwater®, and more vitaminwater® experience, at no additional cost.

HA! The packaging was what pulled Bev in too! :) Personally, flavored water of any sort just reminds me of getting the fluoride treatment at the dentist, but... well, maybe I'm a stick-in-the-mud.

No, metaphorically.

Not that kind of metaphor!

Ooooh- umm, yeah. That one's okay.

Ha right back atcha.

The H-bomb used to call the slightly flavored carbonated waters "fuzzy water"---and I guess it was her drinking of those that broke me of the crinkled up nose reaction to the genre. If beverages can have genres.

Sure they can! Absinthe is the equivalent of prog rock: fancy and intellectual and completely frickin' unbearable.

Is prog rock like Yes? I hated Yes. Don't think I'd care much for absinthe, either.

Yup- Yes, King Crimson, ELP, those things. I can deal with Yes, but they're about as proggy as I'll get.

What about Rush? I seem to remember this term "art rock" being bandied about about some of those bands.

Yup, Rush too. Jethro Tull, etc. All that bloated, boring, wanky stuff.

My appreciation for Jethro Tull was increased by the flute solo in Anchorman. (I don't claim cinematic sophistication in my appreciation of that film.)
