Finally back into replying... ;)  And starting where I didn't get to
before leaving for Colorado... (G)

 ML>> resemblance with these either. 5% juice: watermelon, grape,

True, already knew that... Just mostly thinking, there's pear and grape
in there, grape is abundant and reasonably inexpensive, so the apple is
totally unnecessary... and probably between the three of them, they
manage to overwhelm the watermelon flavor...  :)

 ML> Plus I am guessing that watermelon rind has some flavor,
 ML> so they press the things whole without bothering to skin them.

Could be.
 
 ML>> Peach - this was almost convincing, with real peach aroma
 ML>> though not much flavor. Not horribly sweet. Also 5% juice.
 NB>> And indubitably also containing apple, I'd guess...  sigh....
 ML> Just looked. Sad to say, you are right again.

Experience (sad).  

 ML>> Next time we'll find something potentially offensive, like
 ML>> dill pickle flavored Pringles, and probably discover that
 ML>> they're not bad at all.
 NB>> True... one never really knows until one tries... and the beauty of
 NB>> doing it at a picnic is that only one [package] has to be bought for
 NB>> all to try...  :)
 ML> And we can all taste and give our considered opinions,
 ML> which sometimes vary, which of course is most of the fun.

Exactly.  :)

 NB>> It's in what seems normal (or not)...  :)  Sasha sorta reminds
 NB>> me of Tigger... "Tiggers like EVerything... except..." and the
 NB>> list grew and grew... ;)
 ML> Sasha is a bit tiggerlike that way, but it must be said that
 ML> she'll eat strange things that would make strong stomachs
 ML> quail; it's fairly normal things that she can have unexpected
 ML> and irrational disgust reactions to. Sometimes I get those,
 ML> mostly for things I have scarfed down happily for years -
 ML> chicken drumsticks, tomatoes, brains, that sort of harmless
 ML> food suddenly becomes as zucchini to me. 

Hmm..  a bit odd...  :)   I don't think I get that sort of thing... but
then I've instead developed a sensitivity to some things I used to love,
so have to eat them less often and with more caution...

 ML> Strangely, strong flavors (liver, durian, Parmesan) don't do
 ML> that, or at least haven't - they're a like them or hate them,
 ML> none of this uncertainty stuff.

That's a little less strange...  :)

 ML> Once, as a child of single digits, I suddenly got an aversion
 ML> to chuck beef, generally one of my favorite foods. Didn't
 ML> last long, of course, but it was disconcerting to me and my
 ML> parents when it happened.

That would indeed be disconcerting... good thing that one flopped
back... (G)

ttyl        neb

... Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.
