This is probably the most surreal thing that's happened to me lately.
I went down to my regular grocery store 'cause we were all out of beverages. I noticed that they had some big, dark, ripe and yummy looking pomegranates, way nicer than the sad pale ones at the store next to it. I need to save my money for some upcoming splurging, though, so I focused my willpower and self control and managed to avoid eye contact with the delicious fruit, quickly grabbing a couple bottles of seltzer water from their dedicated crates and moving on. I got to the back of the store, and I was about to grab some OJ when I noticed a shelf next to me was stocked with some amazing looking fruit juices - and I mean the good stuff, like when your lovely grandma picks the fruit right from her garden and you get a big jar of amazing with bits of fruit floating around inside. Of course, they had pomegranate juice, and I got really excited, but I know that's not what I came for and after longingly looking over the selection I got a thing of OJ, went right to the express lane, argued myself out of getting a pomegranate to eat tonight, paid for my stuff, and left.
That was an hour ago, maybe two. Then my mom asked me why I bought pomegranate water.
The seltzer water bottles have red and pink decorations all over them and a very obvious pomegranate graphic on the front. And they taste amazing.
I guess I must not have noticed anything different when I grabbed the bottles 'cause they were hidden by the crate and I didn't really pay attention, but it's also possible that my intense desire and emotional journey in the store either A) warped reality and fused the water and the pomegranate products together in a complicated space-time event when I was trying to get my change into the right pocket; B) the fruit fairies did it; C) My powers have revealed themselves and I can finally pomegranate-flavor anything I want; D) Eating the entire thing of Pomegranate Swirl gelato the other day had unexpected side effects related to any of the previous 3 options or just put me in a coma and this blog entry is a part of it. My girlfriend just informed me that she happened to use Pomegranate hair conditioner today, so I don't know what to believe anymore. Is it a sign? A warning? Probably the gelato coma? Am I in heaven?
Whatever happened... I am very pleased
