This was a tweet from my pal Lindsay, which I thought was funny because I have this habit of buying blueberry and pomegranate juice because I believe in their antioxidant power, and because it makes me feel better. It’s probably a complete placebo effect that’s occurring, but I buy it and drink it and I feel good after I do.
