Oprah, Ooba. Ooba, Oprah.

Discovered a fantastic new drink while perusing the beverage isle at Whole Foods. It's called Ooba, and it's made from a combination of hibiscus flower extract, water, cane sugar, and various flavourings. However, the drink doesn't contain that nasty high fructose corn syrup so you can rest easy as I could tell you were worried.

Actually, the amount of shit that contains high fructose corn syrup is frightening. The other day I was buying Italian rolls and I noticed they contained HFCS as well. Bread! I'm very concerned about our HFCS consumption; I believe that we're turning into walking corn bags. This could have serious repercussions if we encounter a race of aliens addicted to HFCS. Since we're saturated with the crap they might decide to start eating us. That would really put a downer on one's day.

Um, anyway as I was saying Ooba is very tasty and if you get the opportunity to try its refreshing goodness then please do. It's hibiscus! It's delicious!
