I cannot avoid any POG juice as it contains Guava – picked this one up from Costco and even surprised to find out the company’s address is shown as Brighton MI..What?! POG juice from company addressed in Brighton.. πŸ™‚

Enjoyed the taste of juice and memory train ride to of US-23 from Ann Arbor to Brighton (Funny fact: most of my Brighton memories are actually from Costco Warehouse at there:) )

I personally have never been associated any red in my life.. πŸ™‚ Grown up from the country hates red, and went to both college and MBA where color was blue… and even I worked for company called themselves as Big Blue… πŸ™‚ Maybe the closest one might be magenta.. πŸ™‚

So pumped to taste this back! πŸ™‚ This was one thing I have looked around to get the taste again since 2005 as I have an emotional tie ofΒ  this with “Lonely dorm life in hot (in Summer) and cold (in Winter) days at Ames, Iowa from 1997 to 1998”

Anyhow, this soda was reintroduced after some hardcore fan’s movement aka “Surge Movement” and Coca Cola made it available from Amazon about 5 years ago…and finally.. I made a bold order recently and this just arrived at the day Red flag/Heat advisory went effective.

Still refreshing! (and my brain memory of ‘more citrus and less sugar than Mt. Dew” seems about right πŸ™‚

Thank you Coca Cola!

Another farewell to old memory – Reebok Blacktop Bag.. like other highschoolers in 90s I also enjoyed the ‘fashion’ of using basketball bag as school bag and has been a good utility bag afterwards.. πŸ™‚ Maybe the most recently best use of this bag was using as a hand-carry in a flight when I flied over to Detroit from Seoul in 2005 with full pack of heavy books.. πŸ™‚ (At then you don’t have to weight the hand-carry if it doesn’t look ‘fishy.’.:) so had to pretend this is not heavy although my shoulder was screaming… πŸ™‚
