Yesterday, I was getting groceries at Sun Harvest, White Folks' Wild Oats' low-rent Texas chain. Behind me in the checkout line was a young woman who was buying only a box of cucumber-avocado facial bisque or whatever, but suddenly saw Mojo Bars were on sale and grabbed a half-dozen. Afraid that she might be in for an unwelcome - and expensive - surprise, I asked, "Oh, have you tried those Mojo bars?"
Her eyes lit up as she said, "Yeah! Have you?"
"Um, yeah, they're, um, different."
"Oh yeah, they're so good."
"If you say so," I thought to myself.

One of the things I picked up at Sun Harvest was a box of SPORTea(r), which Tulsa's late, lamented Gold Coast Coffee Roasters used to serve. Remembering its refreshing citrus-y flavor, I thought it might be a tasty alternative to coffee. (I'm drinking way too much coffee these days.) After my third cup o' java today, I decided I should bust out the SPORTea(r). I was surprised to find the tea wrapped in a brown zip bag, which reminded me of the plastic photographic paper is wrapped in, so I assumed it was to keep out sunlight and keep the tea fresh. The box says its "a special amber colored, resealable SUPER-FRESH(tm) bag," which is "designed to keep the delicate botanicals and Vitamin C stable and fresh." I suppose brown beer bottles are a better analogy to the SUPER-FRESH(tm), but, nonetheless, the folks at SPORTea(r) are serious about freshness.
