day 82.

one of loveandcyanide's most favorite beverages on earth is pizzeria fruit punch.

pizzeria fruit punch is so much more than regular old fruit punch - which is why we insist on referring to it as 'pizzeria fruit punch' - it's insane. as much as i like kool-aid and all of its ilk, none of them can compare to PFP. whenever missy and i find ourselves in a classic pizza place that has one of those little punch machines behind the counter, we glance at each other, gleefully, and then order up a cup to drink while we're waiting for our food. seriously, it's like the nectar of the gods. i don't know if it's because it brings back fond childhood memories - we did grow up in brooklyn. and old-school brooklyn, not the "brooklyn" of today. so i do have probably more fond memories than most of pizza institutions - or because it's such a nice, vibrant shade of red, or just the perfect mix of sugar and fake fruit flavoring, but it's marvelous. and magical. and can make any day better.
