Anywhere with a Search Bar

I love how oddly specific I can get in online shopping. I can be a clerk’s worst nightmare trying to find the perfect thing, so I don’t take my frustrations out on others. I use my Google ninja skills on every shopping web site known to man.

I use Walmart Plus the most frequently, because they can get things to me same day. Amazon is a bit trickier with my apartment complex, but some things have to come from there because I cannot find them anywhere else.

I also have a Costco membership that I need to activate so I can use their web site and delivery as well. I do not like going into the store, so delivery is where they earn points. I am rarely in the mood to navigate the warehouse, but I am always ready to search for the things I need.

A typical shopping cart for me is mostly soda. I grab it in large quantities when it is on sale. I have a rotation, but Pepsi Zero is my favorite. It tastes ancient, like you can really tell that the recipe was originally made in the 19th century.

I realize that I have said before that Dr Pepper Zero is my favorite- it still is, it’s just on the back burner because Pepsi Zero is new and interesting. Plus, I don’t really think of Dr Pepper as a cola, so they’re my favorite in different ways.

I also really like sparkling water, and I drink a ton of it…. but not as much as I used to. I discovered that the water out of my bathtub tap tastes the best, so I bottle it and put it in the fridge. It’s better than Fiji and costs a lot less- to the point where I always feel like I’m getting away with something.

There’s not much I buy in addition to drinks because apparently, I feel that entertainment while hydrating is a lifestyle choice.

The last order I placed with Amazon was for a very large quantity of lemonade powder portioned for water bottles. It tastes better than premade because it doesn’t have that chemical aftertaste. Another win for my bathtub water.

Brian bought Diet Cherry Coke for everyone at Purim rehearsal and it was so good that I added some to my own grocery cart immediately.

Speaking of Purim, it went well and the feedback from the audience was great, even better because it was bigger than we thought. Many people watched from home.

The memory of Diet Cherry Coke takes me back to the synagogue, singing in Hebrew at the close of day.

So maybe it’s not really about the Diet Cherry Coke.
