I'm a fan of "Black Cherry" Koolaid (unsweetened powder in packets). I've never seen it in Canada, and have only found it in a few places in the US - some Wegmans (and amazon.com). So I stock up when visiting my sister. With fizzy water and stevia to equal 1/2 cup sugar (not 1 cup as the Koolaid package instructs), it makes a fantastic, slightly tart Black Cherry Wishniak. Or jello with still water and gelatin added. A sprinkle of the unsweetened powder makes a diet cola less sweet and tastier. Regular "Cherry" flavoured Koolaid just doesn't compare.

So I don't think I've become a snob, but it does astound me that when my grocery cart is full of real foods (vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts), everyone around me has carts 90-100% full of processed crap. And their recycling bins are overflowing with packaging whereas mine takes a month to half-fill.
