Here's something fun for you to try:
- Find a bench on a street corner located in an area with a lot of homeless people and other marginalized members of society.
- Sit on the bench with an open beverage bottle in your hand.
- Observe older gentleman with weather-beaten features shuffle past you and stare longingly at the bottle you hold.
- Swig from the bottle. Smile.
- Later, when same guy wanders past going the other way, repeat.
nb. In this instance, the beverage was Jones' Vanilla Cola (as recommended to me by Jeremy). And I don't think I was so sassy as to smile mockingly at the poor guy. But it was entertaining nonetheless.
Happened to do my weekly pilgrimage down to College and Spadina to check out the new books at PC Maniak. Turns out that particular location is moving and is slashing their prices willy-nilly. Amazingly, I didn't actually buy anything, but all that browsing made me thirsty. Hence the trip to 7-11 for Jones', subsequently consumed on one of the benches outside the medical building at College & Major.
BTW, I asked the guy at PC Maniak where they were moving to. He doesn't know yet, but they're hoping it'll be somewhere in the area. He suggested I check out the big PC Maniak store in Mississauga for a wider selection of books.
