On our way to go camping, Jessica, Andrew, RJ and I stopped at a bougie grocery store for some snacks to bring. I worried that the food at this particular market was a bit too fancy to constitute “roughing it,” but I didn’t realize to what extent until I discovered a new product:ORGANIC JUNIOR WATER BEVERAGE
No, really, they actually sell something called Organic Junior Water Beverage. As far as I can tell, it’s basically lightly flavored water in a super tiny juice box (only 4.23oz per container.) It’s a disgusting amount of plastic packaging for what amounts to a couple of swigs of water… errr, sorry, organic junior water beverage.
Hansen’s slaps a picture of Clifford on the front to make it cool. Obviously not Pokemon cool, but as cool of a mascot as Organic Junior Water Beverage can obtain, no doubt.
When is water not organic, by the way? I suppose when it is technically a “water beverage” – whatever that means.
The whole product strikes me as a big waste of plastic and money. Whatever happened to a glass full of tap water? Maybe that’s just not organic, junior, or beverage-y enough for kids these days.
Ultimately, we didn’t buy Organic Junior Water Beverage, though I did consider purchasing some to bring to a boil to cook pasta in over the campfire. Surely you wouldn’t even dream of cooking with normal water.
I’m about to go out for dinner and I think I know what I’ll be ordering with my meal: a box of Organic Junior Water Beverage. This restaurant better have it in stock. How else can I be expected to stay hydrated and sophisticated simultaneously?

When I was in Costa Rica I had a great stew, and when I asked what was in it, I found out it was Organic Junior Water Beverage and nothing else!
It was a stew in my mind only, and it was also the best stew I ever had.
