Another day, another adventure.
So I branched out today and decided to try something even less mainstream than my yerba mate tea. I tried aloe juice. Yes, aloe juice, from the aloe vera plant. The kind I tried also had wheatgrass in it which supposedly has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee or sumthin.
I wanted to show you a picture of it (the brand name is ALO), but I ended up throwing it in the nearest garbage pail asap. So here's a pic I dredged up from the web:
See that muddled green color? That's not just an artsy bottle, that's the actual juice, with squishy bits floating in it. The liquid itself was slightly gelatinous. Yeah, pretty gross. I could tell that a ton of sugar had been added to make it palatable, but unfortunately it tasted exactly how you'd expect aloe to taste. The sugar only added that little extra bit of nausea inducing nastiness.
In happier news, I saw A Christmas Carol in 3D. It had some very good parts, and some not so good parts - I thought they handled The Ghost of Christmas Future very well, that is until Scrooge turned into a squeak toy (don't ask). Time will tell whether it becomes a classic, but the 3D experience made it worth the price of admission.
