Why? Well, thus far this winter, our family has been fairly illness-free. Oh, there's been a sore throat here or there, or one day of some generic fever, but that is it. And as our healthy weeks have stretched into months, I have become convinced that the minute I discard this flat, good-for-ailing-tummies soda, the kids (or, worse, Larry and I) will come down with the dreadful stomach flu that seems (if my Facebook feed is to be believed) to have been hitting everyone else this winter.

So there you have it - the family talisman. I'm not touching it.
You are a wise woman.
ReplyDeleteThis makes perfect sense to me. Don't touch it.
ReplyDeleteIf this is the way it works, then half the contents of my refrigerator are protecting my family from dire illness. Yes!
ReplyDeleteA good plan!
ReplyDeleteLeave it alone!!! Do not touch the 7-Up! Although isn't it driving you a little crazy just sitting there begging to be thrown away?
ReplyDeleteThat is totally something I would do. In fact, I have a random assortment of bottles on my counter right now, that I filled with water before the blizzard over three weeks ago. Even with all the snow we keep getting, I have yet to lose power, knock on wood, but I can't bring myself to pour the water out. As soon as I do, the power will go out!
ReplyDeleteExactly my thinking...
DeleteOkay, you've convinced me. The bottle of full-sugar ginger ale taking up space in my fridge since our New Year's Party? Can stay there until spring. (Which we may be celebrating with fireworks on Independence Day the way things have been going.)
