[pct-l] Water is Soooo Boring

[Jim & Jane Moody]

1.  Emergen-C supposedly provides lots of needed minerals and vitamins and exotic chemical compounds.  I found an exact duplicate at Kroger called Essence-C that sells for about 40% less.  They both taste like medicine; add Gator-Aid or instant tea or Crystal Light or Tang or ... 



2.  Is there anything other than water that is safe to drink ?   Ummmmmmm.  Beeeer. 



3.  Nobody walks in America ???  You aren't looking in the right places.

You could try some of the sports drinks. The high-end ones you order   
online or get at bike/running shops. Or perhaps Emergen-C. We've been   
drinking Zipfizz, but it's way over-packaged. I suppose none of these   
have ingredients you can pronounce. Good old water suffices for me   
most of the time. Wine is also good, but not really a performance   
drink. :)

Yeah, uh-uh. You "tested" it. (Picturing Yoshi chowing down with   
gusto and stuffing his bags for the return trip with cheese-puffs and   
Little Debbies.) 

Americans overeat and under-exercise. I think the under-exercising is   
even worse than the overeating. Forget LA. Nobody walks in America.
