How about a drink?

All right. For now i thought let's take a break from the music and go to something that MIGHT be as addictive as music: Drinks. Now before i go to the main point i wanted to give you a quick overview of my drinking habits... erm... no i don't have a drinking problem, don't worry.

I live in germany, as u might know and i guess we are famous for our beer. And i can say i like to drink a beer every once in a while (but i can assure u that i have never been drunk. Yeah... come to think of it, i might be a role model to your kids in the future.)

However. I usually like to drink water. Just plain, normal, still water. I don't like fizzy water it just feels strange when you swallow it... that's what she said.

So far so good. Usually, when i'm with a group of guys and i already had my bottle of beer and i don't want to drink more, from time to time i bring my standard pun and say "Naah, i'm fine, i'lldrink some diet water for now." As i said: It is a pun because there is NO WAY that something like diet water exists right? ... Right?... Oh i was sooo mistaken:

So i did some research on this so called "Diet Water" that, i guess, seems to be produced in SAPPORO. Speaking of SAPPORO: Ever heard of "Tha Blue Herb"? No, i'm not talking about Resident Evil i'm talking about the Japanese Rap group. You haven't? Change that!

Anyways, this "Diet water" seems to be just your typical "still water". But i mean; what is the point? Seriously. OK; i can come up with one possible explanation: Maybe you know that some people think that "diet" products have less fat content, so they help you with your "diet", when those products are actually produced for people with diabetes. Means those products have less sugar content or sugar replacement (well let's just neglect Cola Light and Pepsi Light on this point.) Maybe the producers don't get the the actual meaning of the word "diet?" Because i've never heard of regular still water having either sugar or any kind of flavour enhancers in it.

On my research i also found this product:

Yeah. Maybe it took you a moment to comprehend what this is but i think you'r guess was right. This is mother's milk. It seems that you can actually buy this in the store... I mean i heard about women having no milk, when they get a baby (i don't know if this happens too often) or some women who have too much, so they would consider selling it. Or some women who don't breastfeed they'r babies and think that this may probably be a good replacement. But still - milk from another mother? And aside of that, if you ask me it just looks strange, doesn't it? Especially if you have that kind of a fetish. Imagine you are sitting on the (checkout) counter in the supermarket and a man dressed in a long coat, wearing black glasses and a fake mustache approaches. He's buying this along with some toilet paper and other stuff, so it doesn't stand out too much.

And then, this package has some problems with the price, so you have to call out one of your colleagues and shout through the whole supermarket, so that everyone notices what this guy is buying. No, this never happened to me. Really. You can't even buy this exact product at my place. But an event like this COULD occur, you never know.

And speaking about this: When i first saw this, i remembered a scene from "Little Britain":

Now to conclude this post: I found another strange thing when i did some research on the so-called "diet water":

Apparently this drink is sold in the USA (i assume.) From what i've heard this is also just regular, plain, still water but with differnt flavours, as u can read. On the front it says "0 calories and 0 sugar." But really, if i see drinks or even snacks packed like that, i get cavities just by looking at it. Why does it have to be so fancy and colorful? To stand out even more?

Let alone, what is wrong with just basic, plain, still water? Nothing, right? I drink this regullary for quite some years now and i can't complain. In fact, you should try this too. Try to just drink plain still water for about two weeks. After two weeks, try drinking a beer or a cola and i can assure you: It tastes SO great. I think you really appreciate the flavour of other drinks, when you usually just drink still water.

With aaaall of that being said: What do you drink normally. And what is you opinion on this "diet water?"
