The Taste Of PINK

Three flavors of the yogurt at the display - Mango, Raspberry & Blueberry. Haven't tried any, I was not sure of which will be the better one. Not every food item is worth taking a risk & trying. Mango, I thought, would be like the Mango duet ice cream. So by the time, I could decide the last Blueberry yogurt was sold. Raspberry !!! Opening the pack I wished it not to be such pink from the inside as it was displayed but God was not in my favor. There it is, all pink.

I have always been very reluctant to go for any PINK food. Whatever I am eating or drinking should particularly be not pink. Seeing pink food doesn't give me a good feeling. Honestly, I always hated the taste of pink [except cotton candy]. To me, every pink thing tastes bittersweet. Even as a child I would never have any pink ice cream, it always felt so unsweetened. Then while going through the same pink yogurt I made a list of all possible things in mind that are pink are took a verbal survey of people around me on it [it was lunchtime and I'm always up with the surreal questions that bring up my insanity level in public].

I asked a few colleagues on how do they like pink food, like anything pink. They told me they never observed while eating [yeah, obviously, it's just me who comes up with all this]. So going by the list I discussed on how bad the flavor of the strawberry ice cream is, how pathetic does the pink shakes taste, how stale is any pink candy, how nasty are all pink chewing gums [except boomer & big bubble, they are good], how bland are pink flavored wafers or how insipid are those cakes & pastries with pink icings. Of course, I was driving the thoughts by continuously reminding them of how worse can anything be if turned pink. I was getting a neutral response until I mentioned the medicine we've all had by local clinic doctors in that small translucent bottle with a green cap - that medicine tasted all crap and poisoned. Bloody that was also PINK in color and ugliest in taste. They could have chosen any other color but came up with PINK. Those antacids are also pink. Pink has medicinal properties, maybe.

I've always loved pink in all shades and on all things different but it comes to something that'll go into my tummy, my food is anything but pink. If the above content was relate-able then let me know, if you never noticed any such thing and now you are processing your brains then please do so, if you still love pink food then kindly excuse me :)
NOTICE WHAT YOU EAT !!

P.S.: I don't count strawberries and cherries in their original forms as pink [hypocrisy in pink intended]
