Venom Energy Drink
I was heading into South Station messing with a free GPS tracking app on my iPhone when I spied a girl handing out cans from a cooler. Sweet! I am hot and thirsty. I get a can of Venom of Black Mamba Energy Drink. I snap a pic and email it for a mobile upload. I can browse to the draft post but can't add text in Safari on iPhone. So I install free blog app. Guess what? Free version doesn't allow pics! Can't win. Oh well. Energy drink tastes like Red Bull. Not bad.

Earthfest, Chewable Juice, Iced Coffee and Juicy Juice Water Bottle
I had to work some OT on the same day as EarthFest 2009. But that was OK. I still managed to have time to run through and grab some free samples and catch part of Soul Asylum. Let's see if I can remember everything I got. A Starbuck's Iced Coffee, a couple squirts of organic sun screen (which was lucky, 'cause I really needed some), some Whole Foods Market bakery bread, some Stonyfield Farms Yogurt Smoothie (yummy!) and some granola. I did not get any Bear Naked Granola. The line was too long. I have had it before and can say it is quite yummy. And it is fun to say. Bear Naked. he he he. I also got a free little orange backpack from Whole Foods.
One day this week, I was walking through downtown crossing with my boss, Eric (the one who suggested I start writing the blog, by the way) . Thanks Eric! Like I don't spend enough time on the computer all day. Any way, he spies an opportunity to snag some free juice. Since it was hot and we had been walking for awhile I immediately pop mine open and start to take a big swig of Fruit 2 Day. Just then Eric reads the label out loud, "Real fruit bits." Am I glad he said that! I probably would have spit it right out on the side walk. They aren't kidding. This is beyond pulp. There are actual pieces of fruit in it. If I had not been warned ahead of time, I think the sensation would have been a bit disgusting. A curdley, lumpy, what is this crap in my mouth, kind of disgusting. But I had my quick warning and chewed then swallowed. After getting over the initial puzzlement of having to chew my free juice, I did enjoy it. Not sure if I will be buying this one, but I would drink . . .er I mean chew . . . another one if I get one for free.
Today was Free Iced Coffee day at Au Bon Pain. I felt compelled to go get one since it was free and across the street. When it was free ice cream day at Ben and Jerry's the line was out the door and down the sidewalk. There was no line at Au Bon Pain. It was kind of confusing. There was a sign in the window that said they were participating, but it wasn't really clear which cups to use, where the line formed, etc. I managed to find a cup, get my ice, fill my cup, add my cream and sugar and get out of there pretty quick though. The coffee was just ok for me. It was not Fair Trade Certified so I wasn't thrilled about it. But it was free. And you know what I always say . . . "If it's free, it's for me!"
I got tipped off by Gizmodo about a free water bottle from Juicy Juice today. Signed up. Now I am waiting for free mug and a free water bottle to come in the mail.
That's all for now . . .
