Everything With Additives In

I tried to buy milk to go with my Lucky Charms yesterday and was slightly confused when I couldn't find any. I could find the chocolate milk, the strawberry milk, the low-fat milk, and the milk with added vitamin B5, but no regular plain milk. That is, because it seems, there is no regular milk, or for that matter any regular anything. Regular it seems does not sell in America, so everything has to have someting to make it stand out from the crowd. The orange juice has extra calcium, the apple juice has extra vitamin E and the whisky probably has extra riaboflavin 7 (for healthier white blood cells). Which brings me to another point, how do people even know what these additives are? Some of them claim to include 'sfalolon 28' but don't say what sfaolon 28 is or does. Is it good? Do I want it? I don't know but it's in the green flavour of Lifesavers. In the end t he trick to finding the regular one seems to be to find the one which seems to be clutching at straws for what makes it special. Any product that doesn't have anything better to add than protozoic K is average enough for me

Smithwicks Beer

Apparently this stuff is bonafide Irish Ale from a Guiness owned brewery. I'm hoping it's lost a lot in transport across the country because it's possibly the worst pint of ale I've ever had in my life. It tastes like someone has tried to make an ale that tastes as close to Fosters as possible, but with a slight hint of Asda value vodka. All in all, not nice.

Lifesavers

Fruit polos with more E numbers. As awesome as I remember.

Racer 5 IPA

Dear me, this is classed as a beer? Disgusting on every single level. Too strong, harsh, sour and sweet. Like rotten cooking apples mixed with sugar and cheap whiskey. Just nasty.

There is no regular anything here in America. There is only extra large and with extra stuff. Also: Try Sam Adams. I don't know what it is, exactly, but...I like it, underage drinker that I am.
