Strawberry Fields Forever
The Beatles song says, 'Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about' - I think the strawberry juice in this bottle was real and it was nothing to get hung about indeed - unless you wanted the biggest sugar high in your life.

Omylordly! It was super, super sweet and almost like eating strawberry jam out of the jar - there was nothing to protect you from the extreme sugar taste. I can't remember the ingredients but I think it was pure strawberries with lots of sugar mixed in (Ranoush can you verify?).

Ranoush buys this juice for one of the students she tutors but my advice would be to give it to him after his lesson, so his parents have to deal with him climbing the walls. Below, I know it's not food related but I had to post a picture of Jumeirah beach, a reminder of the holiday which feels oh so long ago...

What is Paul eating? Part 2 Candyman a.k.a Paul was eating these last week 'Millions,' which are candy bits that taste like strawberries. They looked a bit retro and on the tube it said that there was real fruit juice inside. I think he thought that this would contribute to one of his 5 a day requirements. There was in fact, fruit juice inside but the strawberry juice was very far down on the ingredient list. The main ingredients was, you guessed it sugar! Oh how he loves his sugar fix; he even donated his real strawberries to me as he said they were not good anymore. I think buying those real berries was an attempt to look healthy, I bet he was one of those kids who never ate his veggies. Well look forward to another week of candy adventures with the Candyman. And these little millions were tasty!
