I had the stomach flu once when I was in high school. At that time in my life I had recently discovered the refreshing blend of fruit flavors mixed with about a gallon of sugar called Twister. The Tropicana Twister was rock’n my socks off with flavors of Tropical Fruit Fury and Strawberry Kiwi Cyclone. The flavors were different, but all of them had a distinct Twister taste. It is that taste now that I associate with the sickness I had. The smell even makes me cringe! Twister, I’m sorry, but you are the flu. Which leads me to this Friday’s Favorite…

Nudity in a Bottle

Recently I became ill. I threw up and fell asleep on my bathroom floor rug. I woke up with a rash and a stomach sickness which lasted about a week. I was feeling very weak and convinced myself that I had contracted a parasite. Granted I do not believe I actually contracted a parasite, but people aren’t supposed to sleep on bathroom floors. Bare feet are on that little bathroom carpet patch. Plus when you give that little last wiggle…a lil shake shake…the ol’ Sherman shuffle, well you know.

I went to the local Ralph’s and asked the pharmacist what she thought I should do about my stomach illness. She said just keep getting nutrients into my body and drink plenty of fluids. Translation: Naked Juice.

Naked Juice is a fluid (i.e. juice) and jammed packed with the vitamins and minerals I needed. I purchased 2 large jugs and went to town Drinkenville (population: me). A tall glass of Mighty Mango and Green Machine a day keeps the stomach flu away.

Unlike the Tropicana Twisters, the Naked Juices tasted great during the sickness and taste amazing well after my tum tum was cured. Naked Juice is also great when you are not feeling well and can’t eat much because it is a thick juice which acts as a meal supplement when you just can’t get solid foods down.

Next time you are sick and need your vitamins…get Naked! Naked Juice!

PB in CCs

Peanut butter in chocolate cups may be the greatest candy ever made. In the time line of great candies, peanut butter cups is right after the stone. The time line is actually just a segment. Nothing. Stone. Peanut butter cup. Nothing better. Hard candy had it’s time, but those everlasting jawbreakers are a thing of the past.

On a side note…

Hard candy relics can still be found to this day. Whether one looks on the ground or on coffee tables in old folk’s crystal bowls, they are everywhere: Ditched in dirt and cradled in crystal.

There may be no wrong way to eat them, but there certainly are right ways to eat them. Personally I like to eat all of the chocolate out siding of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. I place the lump of dried out peanut butter in my mouth and consume the whole piece of peanut buttery magic at once. Why part the innards? May the cups be consumed as they were made: in layers. May they be eaten as Alaskans dress: in layers. And may peanut butter cups be enjoyed as they were originally: next to 2 gunned down car-crash victims.
