Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

Free Soda

Topping off our super duper lazy Sunday yesterday, Shaun and I ordered pizza. Naturally, the perfect way to continue a lazy day. You didn't think I was cooking did you?

When the delivery man got to our apartment, he first handed me a plastic container with cold liquid in it. My first thought was...um who ordered cold soup? He told me that we got 'free soda' with our pizza order.

Um...whaaaaa? Really? A plastic container, usually reserved for Chinese take out, filled with soda and ice? What happened to a good old-fashioned 20 oz bottle? You know, with a sealed cap?

 

Something tells me there's not a chance I'll be drinking that.

Then, I wondered if drinking that soda was so different than eating the pizza that we had ordered. It's not like the pizza was sealed for freshness. But something about it is...weird.

What do you think? Would you drink the free soda?

So you had me at free soda but then I saw that picture. Um, no. That's the stuff I pour my hot and sour soup of it!

hahahaha that is amazing : )

I don't think I would drink the soda, especially because of the container--it just seems strange to me. The pizza, on the other hand, has been cooked at a high heat and for some reason that makes it seem safer.

That's so funny--I would have felt the same way about the soda. But you're right---how is that different than anything you get at a restaurant???

No way I'd drink that! Downright scary looking.

I don't know how I missed this post originally, but STRANGE! I think I would have tried it though. In a not-so-healthy way, I would have wondered about it if I hadn't.

Heh, I would totally drink the soda. I'm bad about that, and as long as the container is clean it's cool with me. :)
