Walking through one of my favorite international markets with my spouse, I spotted barrels- a childhood “juice” that I loved. Surprisingly, since we grew up on to different ends of the continent, my spouse remembered them as well he remember them as gernade’s . We each grabbed our favorite flavor and prattled on about our childhoods. Sadly, the popular quote, “Nostalgia is a feeling that lingers long after the taste is gone” is true, but waste not. Cheers!
