 NB>>> The lemon makes the water tastes better...  when the water
 NB>>> tastes nasty, I have a really hard time drinking it, no matter
 NB>>> how thirsty...
 RH>> I know, and travelling, we've no idea what the local water is like.
 RH>> Safer to get a soft drink in those cases.
 NB>> As long as you are somewhere where the water should be potable, the
 NB>> lemon will work to make it drinkable...  ;)

 RH> Sometimes even lemon won't improve the taste of the water--I've tried
 RH> it. Not the little bit of lemon you get in most places anyway.
 
That's when you have to request a bit more lemon...  :)  If the water's
that bad, the tea won't be any good, either...  ;)
 
 RH>> Have you ever tried the Blue Sky brand and if so, what did you think
 RH>> of them? We initially found them at a natural foods store in HI.
 NB>> I don't think I've even ever seen any of them...

 RH> Look in Lori's or other natural foods stores, maybe Wegman's might
 RH> carry it. As I said, we found it first in HI and also in Savannah, in
 RH> the natural foods store there.
 
I'll keep an eye out... I'm pretty sure Wegmans doesn't carry it, but
I've been wrong before...

 NB>> BTW, I just happened on a coupon for Zevia sodas... are you interested
 NB>> in it...?  I could mail it to you...

 RH> Right now I'm not sure when we'll get down to Whole Foods again. If
 RH> it's got some time before expiration, it might be worth mailing. OTOH,
 RH> postage went up to .49 today so consider that as well.
 
It's dated 4/15/14, so there's some time on it... actually I found a
second one also... $1 off a six-pack... And we stocked up somewhat on
the Forever stamps before the rate hike...  ;)
 
 NB>> It appears that most of the traffic at the hot food and salad tables
 NB>> is for grab and go... so they tend to also grab a bottled drink, and
 NB>> pay for it at the regular registers for the store... people eating
 NB>> right there at the store are steady, but not too many at once,

 RH> Whole Foods has a lot of grab and go customers but they also have a
 RH> fair sized cafe section that is busy, especially at lunch time. They do
 RH> some things fresh on ordering as well as the pre done foods.

It's a whole complex at Wegmans... the sub shop, the hot and cold
tables, the sushi bar, the pizza shop, the prepared foods (including the
$6 & up meals), a coffee bar... I think I remembered them all... ;) 
Also a few open coolers with sandwiches and salad ready-made... and the
coolers against the wall with all the bottled drinks...  ;)
 
 NB>>> Dunno if they turn off the machine during the wee hours, haven't
 NB>>> tried to use it then... ;)
 RH>> They probably keep it running 24/7 so as not to have to take the time
 RH>> to set it up every day. Besides, there are probably some folks that the
 RH>> wee hours (for us) are normal hours for them.
 NB>> True, and true... but they still might do something to block it off,
 NB>> with no one in the area to police it, and make sure that nobody is
 NB>> just taking soda without paying for it...  Some day I might
 NB>> inquire.... ;)

 RH> Also for cleaning/maintainence I suspect.

Of the area..?  that pretty much is done throughout the day...  Of the
Coke machine...?  that could give them a reason to take it down
regularly anyway, I suppose... :)
