Topo-Chico – Mineral Water

I’m drinking a bottle of Topo-Chico that I bought at the Cermak grocery store—my favorite grocery store in the area—but unfortunately not close enough to do all my shopping. They specialize in, as they say, “a variety of ethnic foods”—it’s a giant store totally packed with stuff I’ve never seen. Sometimes you see items with other than the English language version of the packaging. This 350ml bottle has no English whatsoever—not that you need it (Agua Mineral Natural Carbonatada). I’m going to absolutely take it on faith that the Topo-Chico water that comes in the English language label and the Spanish language label is the same water—until someone tells me different. This is a delicious, slightly mineral-tasting soft bubble water from Mexico. It’s quite good. Also, I love the slim glass bottle and old-fashioned looking yellow label—it almost looks like it’s from another (earlier) time, entirely. I could never settle on one water, of course, but I should make a point of always having some of this around (it’s always easy to find) in the event that I ever have guests over—even though I never have guests over. Maybe if we start doing podcasts again. Maybe water would be a good podcast subject. I’m thinking out loud.
