BYOB

My quest to avoid everything made by Coke and Pepsi ended last Friday. Jeannie and I went to see Order of the Phoenix (HP5) at the IMAX theater in King of Prussia. We went there because the last twenty minutes of the movie were being shown in 3-D there and it was the only theater in the area to do it. We spent most of the morning packing and making sure everything was ready for the trip to Northern Virginia that we were to take later that day. So in all of the preparation of the snacks and drinks for the bus ride I forgot to pack a drink and snacks for the movie. We arrived there at noon for a 1240 show to find that all of the showings till 1AM had been sold out. Luckily I had already bought tickets so that was no problem. The problem though was that all of the drink options were Coca Cola products, even the water was Dasani (Coke owned) I was going to forgo drinking anything but we had gotten a free popcorn from our frequent customer card and it was really hot outside so I broke down and bought a Minute maid fruit drink. I had successfully avoided Coke and Pepsi products from the time I wrote until then and truthfully I had not craved it at all after the first week or so. I am not giving up on not eating or drinking products by those two companies all together. As with any conscious food decision a lot of fore though and planning is necessary so next time I will have to bring my own drinks. I will let you know how it goes.

Other than New York or Philly the Bay might be the only other place I would go live in the US. It's definitely awesome Can't believe you've been out there that long. So jealous of your proximity to Berkeley Bowl.
