festivities approach, food and wine bloggers around the world join in
an effort to raise funds and awareness for the UN World Food Programme with Menu for Hope 6 (December 14-25).
When not drinking wine or water, some of us do that once in a while when we don't have an espresso, what other options do we have, overly caffeinated or coma inducing sugar bombs, no thank you.
I did find an alternative, Mary Jane's Relaxing Soda from Colorado.
They got my seal of approval after a thorough sipping and swirling.
The good people at Mary Jane's Relaxing Soda were kind enough to give us a 12 Pack of their soft drink and a matching T-Shirt as our Second Item open to Bids for Menu for Hope 6.
As I wrote previously about this Mary Jane:
Who needs a drink that makes you shake like you just downed a quintuple espresso?
I am happy to see that there is a counter cultural effort at work to bring sanity back to the soft drink world.
Here's their soft sales pitch:
the all-natural soft drink that delivers euphoric relaxation and focus
to a stress-filled life. Within minutes of drinking, a "calming"
sensation can be felt throughout the body and mind. Mary Jane's
Relaxing Soda is perfect for stressful, nerve-wracking situations or
when you just feel like sitting back and enjoying life. Made from Kava root, carbonated water, and all-natural cane sugar, it's
good for your body and mind."
Now that you read all this you cannot wait to get a chance to get your hands on this 12 Pack of Zen (and the T-Shirt).
