We enjoy watching the extreme skateboard competitions on TV. ‘A’ and ‘R’ are both really into riding their Razor scooters, and ‘A’ has aspirations of some day riding a skateboard like the big kids.
One night while watching one of the competitions, ‘A’ noticed something. Our conversation went like this:
A: (realizing that competitors will often drink something after their performance; not realizing that it is probably product placement…) "Mom and Dad, see how the guys always drink something after they are on their skateboard? I want to drink what they are drinking."
Us: "The beverage contains quite a bit of caffeine. When you are 17, you can decide whether you want to drink something like that or not."
A: "Look, that guy has the same sticker on his helmet as on the drink. My helmet has ‘Mongoose’ on it, so I want a Mongoose drink…I want Mongoose juice."
Us: "Ummm, OK, well, what is in Mongoose juice?"
A: "Let’s see…(thinking)…grape juice, orange juice, apple juice, pear juice, and mango juice. That’s ‘Mongoose juice."
That sounds so good, we decided to break in our new juicer and went to the store and bought a bunch of fresh fruit to juice.
It was delicious!
‘R’ wanted to get in on the action too, and make "Blue Juice". His recipe includes: Blueberries, Apples, Oranges, Lemon, and Strawberries. OK, so it did not turn out blue, but it still tasted great!
