Ice Breakers sugar-free Restore Pomegranate Lemon-aid Gum



Ice Breakers sugar-free Restore Pomegranate Lemon-aid Gum with vitamin C and zinc.

On one hand there's a Pomegranate, on the other a lemon. And there in the middle is a very happy Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings reject from Simon's later introverted period. I guess the thinking here is to be able to have pomegranates on the go, in your mouth, during the day. Plus, there's really nothing like scraping pomegranate off the bottom of your shoe.

What I don't get is that there are two flavors here, Pomegranate and Lemon and then it reads it contains Natural and Artificial flavor...I wonder which is which.

Restore...something!

Mike's Pomegranate Martini with Acai Berries




Okay, buckle up because I think this is the full moniker of this product:

Mike's Premium Malt Cocktails Pomegranate Martini with Acai Berries.

You're somebody (in your circle of friends), You enjoy the finer things in life (like your Dodge Stratus, lack of socks and deep desire to have a pet alligator on a leash) so you know what you want to be seen with, smell like and inside you. Enter the Pomegranate Martini in a pop-top bottle four-pack.

They're small, presumably tasty and most important of all, if you look real close at my horrible photograph you can see it reads: "Alcohol Included Ready To Drink". Thank the Makers. I HATE having to buy flavored water in one part of the store and then take my shopping cart all the way to the other side of the store to buy GenericBrand™ 100 % Pure Alcohol just to mix them together when I get home to make booze to get blotto on. That's like chemistry and that's like no fun unless something get's blow'd up.

I wasn't even sure what category to put this under, Booze? Ghetto Wine? Martini? Heck, this isn't a martini because I didn't make one Bond joke, other than the one you'll need to get out of the pokey after swilling this "malt cocktail" and tripping the night fantastic. I mean once a lady sees you choking one of these down she'll have no choice but to drippily ponder your erudite sophistication & charisma +3, right? Right. What does that even mean? I'll show you a malt cocktail, by gum.

Kagome 100% Juice Ruby Pomegranate Harmony


This pic was a little hard to make out, so I turned to the Great Gazoogle for a better image. Unfortunately, all of the results are an anime character in a school girl outfit. Those wild and wacky Japanese! So we're stuck with this image, sans half-naked Japanese chick. If you squint, you can see that this specimen is not merely a fruit juice beverage, oh no! It is half fruit, half veggie juice. This is nothing short of a watershed moment for me. All the juices out there that claim to be 100% juice, but have "filler" juices in them.....gak! What if the juices are not fruit or vegetable juices?!? "Natural Feelings 100% Juice Pomegranate Breeze"...made with 15% pomegranate juice and 85% hamster juice. Refreshing.

Hansen's Natural Pomegranate Green Tea


So I took umbrage at Yogi Tea tossing pomegranate in their tea, but really, do we expect better from these folks? Hansen's is the company that makes Junior Juice. Fercrissakes, Clifford the Red Dog is the best character they could license for the label of that one.
But I digress.
So the product at hand is Hansen's Natural Pomegranate Green Tea. Close inspection of the label reveals that there are 75 mg of EGCG. I have no idea what that is, but I assume it contains EC and some CG. And there's 75 mg of it.

Yogi Tea Green Tea Pomegranate


Why, Yogi Tea? Why must you jump on the bandwagon of tea makers who abuse the noble green tea? Nearly everything that can be plucked from a bush, vine or tree has assaulted our nation's cups of green tea in recent years, and I for one am not going to take it any more. This latest insult (in pomegranate form, no less) has sounded the klaxon warning to all who truly care about a cup of pure, unsullied hot water with leaf dust.

R.W. Knudsen Simply Nutritious Vita Pomegranate


Another winner from the R.W. Knudsen family of flavored juice blends from concentrate. Tell me, can you resist the allure of a juice-like beverage called "vita pomegranate"? Forget that it has the fruit du jour in it, tell me what product is not made 2474783% more scrumptious by adding "vita" to its name? Go on, tell me. You can't!

Krystal Pomegranate Freeze


I can't think of any three things that go together better than Krystal's, a cup full of frozen pomegranate jizz, and free wi-fi.
