\"Pom<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

I’d like to think that I’m an environmentally aware person — a treehugger, if you will. <\/p>\n

I recycle my glass bottles, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and newspapers. <\/p>\n

I drive a fuel-efficient car. <\/p>\n

I reuse those plastic bags I get from the grocery store. <\/p>\n

Instead of throwing them away, I donate my unwanted clothes, household items, and crappy Christmas gifts to charitable organizations. <\/p>\n

Finally, to save water and allow me to use them another day, I turn my underwear inside out.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, I came across the Pom Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea in its re-sealable and reusable glass…glass. My treehugging soul thought that the reusable glass would be a great replacement for my current glassware, which doesn’t consist of any glass and is made up of Big Gulp cups and the McDonald’s 1992 Olympic Dream Team plastic cup set, with four extra Chris Mullin<\/a> cups.<\/p>\n

The Pom Tea glasses would definitely be a step up and along with my lava lamps, glow in the dark stars on my ceiling, and the huge mirror on my bedroom wall they would impress the ladies whenever they come over.<\/p>\n

Okay, I’m lying about the women coming over. No woman has stepped foot in my humble, fluorescent-lighted, not-so-swinging bachelor abode, so let me rephrase the previous sentence.<\/p>\n

The Pom Tea glasses would definitely be a step up and impress the ladies if they come over when hell freezes over, pigs start flying, or if I am the last man on the face of the Earth.<\/p>\n

I shouldn’t have been surprised by my fascination with the Pom Tea bottle. After all, Pom beverages are known for their bottles. <\/p>\n

\"Pom<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

The original Pom Wonderful juices<\/a> come in a shapely bottle, which depending on how horny you are, either looks like the Days of Our Lives hourglass or a huge sex toy that is probably 1,000 times more satisfying than I am.<\/p>\n

The Pom Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea itself is pretty good and it’s good for you. Although, being a fan of lychee, I was hoping there would be a stronger lychee flavor. <\/p>\n

I have to admit that I’ve gotten kind of addicted to the Pom Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea. I don’t know if it’s the slightly tart and sweet taste of it, the fact that it’s frickin’ full of healthy antioxidants, or my need for a set of new glassware, but at $3.50 a bottle it’s definitely hurting my wallet.<\/p>\n
