Bubly – limebubly

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Shall I compare thee to a citrus fruit? Sorry, I’m about all out of ways to describe another boring LIME flavored water! New flavors, please! The can is a dark green, but not as dark as a typical lime—and limes aren’t metallic. Is “limebubly” this particular flavor, or do they put the “bubbly” suffix on all their flavors? You know what? I’m not gonna look it up—I’m gonna assume the flavor is called “limebubly” (lowercase)—I mean, since they went to the trouble to TRADEMARK it! Give me a break—Deepockets PepsiCo! Anyway, this would be a good one to drink this time (I wrote this in March) of year, in a bar (or if you’re in Milwaukee, outside, which is an open-air bar) due to St. Patrick’s Day—when you don’t want to get exposed as a teetotaler! They are nuts about it here. I’m sure there are many fine Irish people in Milwaukee, but not nearly as many as who enjoy day-drinking 24/7/52/365 etc. The green shirts (and underdressed midday boozers wearing them) came out on March 2nd —a whole week BEFORE the St. Patrick’s Parade, which is then over a week before actual St. Patrick’s Day. You’d think, by the day itself, everyone would be a little salty on it—but no. Not here. They have stamina—and that’s what it takes.
