<\/a>Now, I realize that some of you youngins have no idea what I’m talking about, but Clearly Canadian was THE DRINK!\u00a0 It came in a glass bottle.\u00a0 It was clear, bubbly, lightly sweet, available in a variety of fruity flavors and always sold cold from the gas station fridge (you know…back when we actually went INSIDE the gas station for something other than to run a child to the restroom).\u00a0 Blackberry Clearly Canadian was my fav!<\/p>\nFor years I’ve missed the taste of my most fav drink from middle school and high school.<\/p>\n
When I was pregnant with AnnaLeigh I was craving a Clearly Canadian so badly that I did a little online research.\u00a0 At that time, in 2008, they were still bottled and sold, and I could purchase a case from Canada for only $80 plus shipping.\u00a0 I almost bought it, but I decided Brad would have a pig, so I put my marriage first and didn’t buy the $80 case of cold bubbly goodness.\u00a0 However, I did go as far as to write the company and ask if there were any local distributors.\u00a0 I never received a response, but I did somehow get put on their promotional email list and received advertisements from the company almost weekly.\u00a0 This only taunted me and increased my pregnancy craving.\u00a0 Mean!<\/p>\n
Fast forward 3 years…almost exactly!\u00a0 I was at the grocery store Monday, and I was STARVING!\u00a0 I know better than to grocery shop hungry, but I was there…at lunch time…with 2 small maniacs…and everything there looked delicious!\u00a0 I was putting things in my buggy that I would have never bought as a non-pregnant, non-hungry, kid-free grocery shopper.\u00a0 However, I was not that woman, and I bought many exciting new things on Monday.\u00a0 One of which happened to be Ocean Spray Sparkling Pomegranate Blueberry!!!<\/p>\n
Oh.My.Goodness!<\/p>\n I’m pretty sure I heard a chorus of angels singing!\u00a0 It was like taking my first sip of a Blackberry Clearly Canadian!\u00a0 It was an instant party in my mouth, and I gulped it down with pure glee!\u00a0 That afternoon I went and bought another package just because it made me so happy!<\/p>\n<\/a>I had let it chill in my fridge for a few hours, then Monday afternoon I decided to try my little splurge.<\/p>\n
