Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Innocent Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco This tastes suspiciously like a cocktail. So suspiciously, that I actually checked the label to make sure that I had not inadvertently signed myself up for a boozy lunch. But I’ve always been a lover of a mocktail: from a virgin piña colada to a Sherly Temple,... Continue Reading →
Brand: Innocent Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco I'm low-key shook. Maybe it's because I'm a grumpy old curmudgeon who is suspicious of everything, but I was certain that this would disappoint. Anything healthy that even implies chocolate and I am out. It's either not healthy or not chocolate and either way, I'm not buying it.... Continue Reading →
Found at: ICA This juice was the culmination of perhaps one of the most Swedish days that I have ever had. It started with a Volvo trip around Skoghall, collecting various friends in various states of asleep-at-noon. What followed was a 30°F (0°C) barbeque at a local park, a hike through the woods (complete... Continue Reading →

Brand: JA Furano Cost: 195 yen Found at: PIAGO La Foods This does not look like carrot juice. This looks like radioactive waste. To say that it is neon orange is an understatement. It is over-the-top orange. It’s eye-searingly orange. It's an orange reserved for reflective vests and traffic cones. It is not an orange... Continue Reading →
Brand: Pokka Sapporo Cost: 130 yen Found At: Vending Machine I have been ogling this juice all summer. I see it every morning as I walk to the subway station, in its little pastel-colored bottle, and I can’t help being attracted to the cute, cheerful packaging. I kept fantasizing about how refreshing it would be... Continue Reading →
Brand: Kirin: Koiwai family Products Cost: 160 yen Found At: Vending Machine If the color didn’t tell get the message across, and the large cheerful illustration of grapes did not clue you in, you would still recognize the flavor instantly. This drink is full-on grape. It is maximum grape. It is grape as God and... Continue Reading →
