These packets of freedom

and flavor. Kool-Aid singles. Dump two in a 20 oz bottle of water and enjoy. Or 1 Crystal Light to go, same thing. Grape or iced tea refreshment. It's so convenient, it's not merely convenient but decadent. There's even an off brand which is not only easy and delicious but relatively inexpensive.

I'm afraid I'll get soft and weak and be unable to mix normal tubs of drink mix with entire pitchers of water that I will then store in/retrieve from the refrigerator. Did our ancestors have misgivings when they first saw packets of crackers with an adjacent chamber of spreadable cheese and a small plastic stick with which the consumer might apply that cheese?

Did they avoid aluminum foil on a roll for a while, like I avoided Swiffer sweepers? Did they get the feeling that things were getting too easy, and we would have to pay for it, someday?

  1. everything designed to save you time and make life easier does exactly the opposite... tribesmen int he jungle don't have anything but some leaves, bamboo, and a machete... but they have way more freetime than we do... they don't live as long, though... no good health care... so all of modern society is just an attempt to make us live longer and we fill that time with towering piles of emptiness so we don't go crazy but rather dilute our own consciousness to the point of near death in front of the television... anybody see the new Bullshit Episode about boy scouts?

    I would buy the target brand drink mix but they only have weird flavors like peach iced tea and rasperry lemonade.
