An orange juice campaign has been running on TV lately that shows some man or woman at the breakfast table with their kids and personal assistants, etc., and they’re having them rattle off all the things that will go wrong that day: they’ll get a flat tire and have to walk miles in the rain; their kid will be expelled from school for cheating, swearing, fighting, etc.; their client will walk out on their presentation when the projector system breaks down; they’ll get mugged; etc.: you get the idea. Then they say: “Well, at least I have my orange juice.” (And they drink it.) Well, what if they had a big canker sore in their mouth that they didn’t know about yet, and then they drank the orange juice? Ow! That would hurt like crazy! And they’d have to go through the rest of their awful day with this debilitatingly nagging, stabbing pain in their mouth. But I guess then they’d try to spin it like, “well after that, the rest of this lousy day won’t seem half bad!” So either way, orange juice is the perfect way to start out your always-going-to-be-horrific day! But it makes me wonder: if they started their day out with coffee or something (anything) else, could they maybe avoid all of this unpleasantness to begin with? It’s something to consider before you reach for that container of orange juice.
