La Croix – Peach–Pear

This is a good one! I’m pretty sure I tasted another brand’s Peach and somebody else’s Pear—but not sure if I’ve had a Peach–Pear yet. There are so many! I know I’ve been complaining about flavor combinations, but this one at least makes sense, just because they’re summer orchard fruits. But then… where is the apple? (Just plain Apple, I mean.) Well, I really like this one—like I’ve said before (I’m sure), sometimes peach can be a gross flavor, but it’s not gross here—maybe it’s the pear, or maybe it’s the pair—or maybe it’s the pare. (No… went too far.) Next time I’m at an art opening, I’ll look for this, and if they don’t have it, I’ll storm out. It’s the usual La Croix can, but there’s something about the metallic color of the pink-orange part (peach) that totally reminds me of these toy cars I had when I was little. Not Hot Wheels. The best Hot Wheels were the flat color ones, like the McLarens. But their competitor brand, Johnny Lightning, which were inferior to Hot Wheels, sometimes had better metallic colors, if I’m remembering correctly. Sometimes I’m really nostalgic for those very particular metallic colors!
