Grape!
So right now I'm sorta delaying working on my Number theory paper on Fermat and I realized that this is the perfect place to extol the virtues of my new favorite non-alcoholic beverage: Capri Sun.
You might ask me why I decided to put up an image of a GRAPE Capri Sun rather than a more traditional Fruit Punch, or even Wild Cherry. It's because I just LOVE Grape Capri Sun, and I have no idea why. Usually I hate artificially grape flavored things, like grape jolly ranchers or carbonated beverage. But Grape Capri Sun somehow transcends those limitations.
I've been asked by kingfox to tell more traumatic stories about why I don't like certain types of food (When I was about 8 or so, I had a bad experience with Ham at a wedding in Omaha, and I've avoided the stuff since). I can't think of any other food stories right now, so I'll just mention that I used to buy a pack of Gushers and a Grape Capri Sun at lunch during High School, for a lot of my High School career. After High School, I had no ready supply of Capri Sun or Gushers, so that habit was replaced by chicken patties at the Commons.
But now that I've given up all non-diet carbonated beverages for Lent (I'm not Catholic, just doing it for solidarity with normajean) I've rediscovered my love for Capri Sun, as a non-carbonated sugary beverage.
I was going to leave this entry at that, but mentioning giving up stuff for Lent has reminded me of a weird story about my dad, and deciding that the family needed to give up TV for Lent, while I was in middle school. Someday I need to write an entire entry about my Dad (middle) and tell stories about how weird he is, but for now, I'm going to end it here.
