Niemen Markus lemonade

A few things you need to know...

One: I own multiple, (beautiful) glass containers that I've acquired over the years but it’s not something I actually have the space for.
Two: After shopping I transfer everything possible into said containers. It’s a downsizing method that looks nice and gets the recyclables out of the way.
Three: I sometimes get a little creative when trying to get rid of something that’s left in the pantry too long, otherwise known as “unwanted”.

Awhile back I tried to use up these sports drink mixes. I had the best of intentions, waste not, want not. It turned out to be a fail and Ben was on to me. He has yet to forget about that terrible concoction.

Fast forward to this weekend and I’m staring at two containers of lemonade in my fridge and realizing I have the perfect carafe to put them in. Hooray for saving space, improving aesthetics and putting a dormant item to functional use.

Later that evening I notice a puzzled look on Ben’s face as he’s getting a drink. He can’t decide if it’s our usually brand or a mix of something else. Even after drinking it he’s unsure. I refused to answer. It was like a taste test gone wrong because he couldn't decide if it was tainted.Conversation...

Ben: Is this the Niemen Markus lemonade?

Me: (laughing hysterically) What?!

Ben: You know the regular lemonade. The... The... What’s his name? The Paul Newman kind.

Me: It’s Newman’s Own.

Ben: That’s what I meant!

Me: I know!

Ben: Well is it?

Me: Yes, that’s what I keep telling you.

Ben: But is there other stuff in it?

Me: (walks away)
