A Drink To Consumerism!


My friend's husband once told me I am a prime example of consumerism at its finest...an advertiser's dream.  Today, I wholeheartedly agree with him.  

Last week I made a quick stop to pick up hummus and pita bread at my local Whole Foods, and was suckered into tasting a free sample of Naked Juice's Green Machine juice.  It was the bold "Superfood" label on the front of the bottle that lured me in, and the delivery of an all natural nutrient packed sweetness that hooked me.  I left Whole Foods with one small bottle (to sip on my walk home), one large bottle (to feed me super powers through the rest of the day), and one tub of hummus (apparently I was too dazed by the taste of apple and kiwi to remember the pita bread- one of only two reasons for making the trip in the first place).  After a week and several empty bottles of Green Machine later (yes, Naked Juice, your marketing campaign is working!), I continue my obession with fresh juice, but on a much grander scale.  This morning, I became the proud owner of the $300.00 Breville Juice Fountain Elite and $30.00 worth of fresh fruit.  Somehow, during what some refer to as the "worst economy in decades", I justified needing it- and now, a drink to consumerism!
