A little trip down memory lane.....

Today started out late in med-school terms - we didn't have lecture until 9am, so I had time to run to my favorite Midtown breakfast spot, Einstein's Bagels. I noticed something I'm sure they've had forever, but I'd never seen there before - the Martinelli's apple juice that comes in the little round bottle shaped like an apple! I remember this being SUCH a favorite thing when I was little.... I also remember them being a lot bigger than they seem now, but I digress.....

I remember we used to go to this not-quite-mom-and-pop-but-not-exactly-a-chain grocery store in Sacramento called Corti Brothers (sort of a precursor to the trendy places like Whole Foods we have today I think), and for whatever reason I associate that store with the Martinelli's apple juice apple bottles. It's not there anymore - I think it's a chain drugstore or something equally lacking in character, but I can't really even remember when it closed. I also remember they had excellent bread stick samples, that we could get while we waited at the deli. I know this post will be of absolutely no interest to anyone but me, but it was a neat little side-trip to memory lane this morning, finding something I didn't even know I missed.
