juice

have you ever paid 4.20 for a glass of orange juice before? not forgetting that its only half empty, or half full whichever way you look at it? i did, today at delifrance.. shock of my life.. can someone tell me how in the world how half a glass of orange juice can cost 4.20? you see mel and i went to compass point for a late breakfast early lunch kinda thing.. so we decided on egg and tuna sandwiches which came with a soup.. we added a fruit tart and a something else which i have no idea how to spell.. when it was time to decide wad to drink, i tink either one of us just said orange juice without looking at the menu.. which turned out to be a mistake.. looked at the bill ltr and found out we paid 8.40 in total for the two half-filled glasses which if poured into one would be just nice full.. $20 plus meal became $35... lesson learnt.. drink water.. or if you dont know wad to choose, choose whatever la.. (mental models will now come into play)

anyway tink that the oranges come from antartica deep beneath the frozen ice when once in 3000 yrs stars align and blast a beam towards a narrow spot and melts the ice.. an orange seed carried by the wind from australia finds its way to that fertile piece of land and a lonely orange tree blossoms and bears fruit.. aft yrs the fruits are ripe and dedicated delifrance workers pluck those wonderful fruits off the tree. Then there you have it, oranges that, when squeezed, will give you ur 4.20 dollars worth. that was one of the nicest orange juice i have ever tasted.. but.... ur mind can do things to you to make you feel better.. you figure it out ya? haha
Cheers
God Bless!
