It all started when I was about to mix some kombucha with sparkling water —
then paused and half-joked, “Is this even safe? Could it be some deadly chemical cocktail?”
The thought was so absurd it spiraled into a playful headline in my head:
“Gentle soul found dead at home after combining fizzy drinks.”
But how could I, dear reader, be reading such grim news if I were truly gone?
Unless, of course, my spirit was still floating around, haunting Costco aisles,
scanning receipts and checking toilet paper prices — the most practical ghost ever.
It’s this kind of humor that keeps me light, sipping sips of laughter
while prices rise like tides in Costco’s bustling town.
Practical Tip:
By the way — I accidentally bought Sanpellegrino Limonata thinking it was plain sparkling water,
only to discover it packed with 26g of sugar per can!
Rather than return it, I diluted it with kombucha and plain sparkling water to cut the sugar.
If you want a refreshing fizz without the sugar spike, try:
- Mostly plain sparkling water,
- A splash of kombucha for tang,
- And just a hint of Limonata (or similar) for sweetness.
Sip lightly, stay alive, and keep your spirit — literally and figuratively — dancing.
A playful poem to finish:
They say kombucha and sparkling water
Might brew a chemical plot—
“Gentle soul found dead at home,”
The headlines warn a lot.
But how could I, dear reader,
Be reading such grim news,
If mixing fizzy bubbles
Had really been my dues?
Ah, but maybe it’s my spirit—
A ghost with shopping cart—
Who lingers in the aisles,
Still saving, still smart.
Sipping sips of laughter,
Dodging doom’s dark frown,
Watching prices rise like tides,
In Costco’s bustling town.
