Alright, let’s talk about this “Morning Sun” drink I kept hearing about. Saw some chatter, maybe it was a mention in the NYT food section, something like that, you know how it is. Caught my eye because, well, “Morning Sun,” sounds kinda hopeful, right? Like something to kickstart your day.
So, I got curious. That happens a lot. See something new, especially a drink promising a sunny disposition, and I figure, why not give it a whirl? Wasn’t expecting miracles, just something different from my usual coffee or tea routine. The potential NYT nod just added a little nudge, made me think maybe it’s got something special going on.
Finding the stuff
First step, actually finding it. Wasn’t as simple as just popping down to the corner store. Checked my usual supermarket, nada. Looked in a couple of those fancier health food places too. Still nothing. Started thinking maybe this Morning Sun thing was super exclusive or maybe just popular in a different city. Took me a few tries, actually. Finally tracked it down in one of those bigger grocery stores, tucked away in the ‘wellness drinks’ aisle. You know the one, full of colourful bottles making all sorts of claims.
- Persistence paid off: Didn’t give up after the first try.
- Location matters: Wasn’t available everywhere, had to hunt a bit.
- Found it eventually: Ended up being in a large chain store’s health section.
The taste test
Got the bottle home. Packaging was nice enough, bright colours, looked cheerful. Poured some out. It had this orangey-yellow colour, looked pretty natural. Took a sip. Hmm. It was… okay. Honestly? A bit underwhelming after the search. It had this citrusy taste, maybe a hint of ginger? But it wasn’t mind-blowing. It tasted healthy, I guess, if ‘healthy’ means slightly bland and not very sweet. Drank the whole glass, waiting for that ‘morning sun’ feeling to kick in. Didn’t really happen. Felt hydrated, sure, but no sudden burst of energy or joy.
So, what’s the verdict?
Look, it wasn’t bad. It was fine. Just… fine. Maybe the NYT thing, if that’s even where I saw it, built it up too much in my head. Or maybe it’s just one of those drinks that works for some people and not others. It’s drinkable, definitely. But worth the hype or the hunt? Probably not, for me anyway. It’s just another drink on the shelf. Tasted it, tried it, probably won’t go out of my way to buy it again. Back to my trusty coffee tomorrow morning, I think. Sometimes the simple stuff is just better, you know?
