It’s not a particularly great experience, is it?

No, it’s not. I had always imagined it having a strong, fruity flavor. Instead-- _blech!_

Wow, a Kool-Aid virgin – I didn’t think they existed. One more life experience you can cross off your list, **Lissa**.

I drink tap water, I can’t stand all these fucking sweet crappy colas and the like.

In restaurants I ask for ice water, no lemon, just the water.
