ecided to buy a couple of things from the store this weekend. It is Memorial Day Weekend in America after all, Monday being the Holiday. Not that I am a hardcore celebrator on the matter, but obviously it is a bit of a patriotic time in which we should show some gratitude.
Anyway, was at the store and saw a wine that was on sale at the usually overpriced pharmacy. It's amazing the sales they have sometimes. Everything's a dollar more than it should be normally - and when they realize it won't sell they reverse the trend and go a dollar and a half below market price. That's the only reason I go there.
Next to the bottle of wine you will see another drink. Not sure what to say about this drink. It piqued my interest, though.
It is a bit coincidental or funny if you look at the backside of the can in the picture below. Once I saw that, I knew I had to try it.
I had never heard of MCT oil and may have heard of nootropics once or twice. The drink claims to provide "brain support". I really just bought it because I like to try new things.
Taste-wise, I would say it was like coconut sparkling water with a bit of an artificial sweetener taste.
It kind of blew my mind that the can contained 21,000% of the daily value of Vitamin B12. Would seem like that would be bad for a person, but guess not (granted you aren't slamming a 6 pack of these...or even 2-3 cans).
After drinking, I'd say I felt more alert. It was kind of hard to tell because I take nerve pain medication and half way through drinking the can I had started on a glass of (the pictured) wine. š
Now, the wine. I'm not exactly a wine connoisseur. I'd like to convince myself I am, but I'm simply not.
My novice assessment:
It was a dry wine, but not too dry. Had kind of a bitterness to it...but again, not too bitter. Red wine, berries taste, with just a tiny hint of sweetness. Maybe a slight flowery taste.
Then, of course, I used a coffee mug to drink the wine from. There are probably wine enthusiasts somewhere who would kill me for this.
The wine was only, I think, $4.75 USD or so. The "brain support" can was the price of most energy drinks - not what I'd prefer to pay, but I bought it for the experience.
Without knowing wines very well, I'd give the wine a 6 out of 10 rating and the can a 7.5 rating because I thought it was unique and I did feel more alert afterwards.
Ultimately, I don't necessarily drink all that often. Some of that is a product of circumstance. Just depends, really. Some people have a routine where they might (for example) go to a bar/pub on a Wednesday and have 6-7 beers - I wouldn't say I have that.
Well, that's all I have for you today folks. I'm positive I'll do more reviews of wines or some form of alcohol in the future on occasion - as well as energy drinks or random things. As always, thank you for following along. It means a lot. See you next time.
