serving suggestions...

[SPAGo 98]

i have a bottle of "aloe vera drink with honey" sitting in front of me. the label has a picture of an aloe plant, with the spiky fat leaves and all. i just noticed, in little letters, it says "serving suggestion." what?? they suggest serving aloe vera drink in the form of an aloe vera plant?

At least it's not a picture of poison ivy.

That's funny!

if that is the stuff you were talking about, the serving suggestion i have for you is NONE at all.

On the plus side, your lips'll probably be baby-butt soft.

Guess we'll need someone to test that theory. Volunteers?

Nope, can't take credit for this. My post was innuendo-free .

(If JTB is going where I think she's going with this, Wags you'd better hide.)

I'm not going anywhere. You made an assertion, we need to test it.

heaven help us if you two EVER meet!!!!

carrie's right. the stuff was disgusting.

i'd had it before (a different brand, from a korean supermarket), and it was good. this stuff was product of thailand or something and it was stanky. yucky. nasty. ew ew ew. (sickeningly sweet in a really artificial way...)

Maybe you're supposed to water a plant with it??????

One of the more delicate descriptions of the benefits of aloe-vera juice, taken orally:

This refreshing drink helps soothe the digestive system and assists the self-cleansing action of your body.

And here I just thought you could kiss your chapstick goodbye with this juice.

ewww.

(btw jeannie - i bought the good stuff in ktown NYC and the bad stuff in the super88 near BU... what does that tell you.. )

 

[lilboo]

WHat does that tell me...ummm, that you're ready to have another go at kimchee ????

Well, not for nothing-you people did give us bubble tea. (I tried this Black Tea with Sesame Seed and Sago at Sweet N Tart -what the heck is Sago anyway? I was a little skeptical when it arrived but ...OMG!!!! It was fantastic!!!!!!! And for $4.25 it better have been.)

mmmm sweet n tart .. such a teenybopper place. haha.

sago = pearls = tapioca balls. no one really knows what they are, but they're yum. hehe.

 

[lilboo]

Aaah, I had no idea that the tapioca balls were also called Sago-my Taiwanese/HK friends teach me NOTHING. Well, that's one mystery solved!

Teenybopper-heehee! That's how you know you're old...I go there and pretend I'm a teenybopper. (And if I'm with white friends, I also try not to let on that I'm not Chinese..lest we get the-winkwink, nudgenudge "tourist" menu )
