it breathed on me: Explaining such simplicities

Explaining such simplicities

Today, I've had to give an explication for the contents inside my Nalgene designer imposter water container exactly 4 times. Not to cause a stir, but the contents of the bottle were water (ooooo), ice (ahhhhh!), and sliced apples (huh?). Thinly sliced apples, Fuji.

As the fruit floats around, it imbues the water with an essence like no other. Especially key for a person who has trouble drinking water during the day and probably suffers from dehydration to some extent. I hate plain room temperature water. Makes me gag. This version is kind of like lime mineral water, but this is apple essenced and there are no bubbles. I first tried this beverage of choice last month at International Orange Day Spa, where they offered similar apple-infused water to clients.

I will try pear soon. Plum will also do. Then cucumber. The only problem is that people think I am some snooty fruit-infused water evangelist or something. Today, people crept up to my bottle, stared, raised their eyebrows, and asked me if I dropped part of my lunch in my water bottle.

Damn purists! Haven't they lived in the Bay Area long enough to not be surprised at such antics? Really.
