Vitamins and Superstition

[cjsmith]

OK, let's get the teasing and the "You Should"s out of the way: I eat Flintstones chewable multivitamins. They're the "Complete" kind, the ones that aren't too too awful for adults. Done now? Good, here's my story.

I like the orange ones best. The red ones are distinctly mediocre, and I have never liked purple. (Yes, red and purple are flavors. Eat a berry and a grape, then eat something red or purple. Completely unrelated, I tell you. Red and purple are separate flavors in their own right.)

I've developed a little predictor of my day. I tip over the bottle and get a vitamin. If it's orange, which I like, I say I'll have a good day. If it's purple, which I dislike, I call it a gray day. If it's red, I'll have a Red-Letter Day, which could be good or bad but won't be boring.

There. I feel sure every single reader of this journal desperately needed to know that.

CJ, that's very cute!
I can't swallow vitamins to save my life. I considered taking childrens' chewables, but I found that Centrum makes an adult chewable. I should compare the labels some time and see what (if any) the difference is.

Thanks for the tip! Adult chewables? Wow, what will they think of next? I'll have to go looking for those! Flintstones Complete doesn't have much calcium...

If you can't find 'em, eat yer flintstones, and then chomp on a Tums. They too are chewable, flavored, and come in a variety of colors, though they're all a boring circle-shape. Kind of like the window of a magic eight ball...

If you gaze into a Tums long enough, perhaps it too will reveal hints about the future!
