Oddly enough, I found a container of the stuff in the refrigerator.
Pomegranate is pretty hot right now so what could be more trendier than
pomegranate/coconut water? Nothing comes to my mind except maybe a
chinchilla coat - not the kind for humans - the kind that chinchillas
wear. :-)

My daughter had bought it so I claimed the parental right to
confiscate/investigate any substance that might be dangerous/tasty/too
much fun and took a swig. I think it was definitely more yeech than
blech. I didn't pay a cent for the thing but yet I feel like I was gypped.

What the heck, the kids like it. :-)
