I Now Know Why Nestle PureLife Green Tea Refreshers Mandarin Orange Flavor Are Currently Discounted at Target

1) The flavor accurately recreates the complete palate of Orange Triaminic, but lacks the syrupy viscosity and the pharmaceutical effects.

Figure 5 in Gold

Charles Demuth

The Great Figure
Among the rain
and lights

in gold

fire truck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city
-William Carlos Williams
