If you've never tasted Icy Mint Sprite...well, it's gross.  Imagine Mentos+Sprite.  Icy Mint Sprite, coincidentally (or not) is the only thing Matt Bratcher wanted from China.  He asked me to get it the last time I was there...I forgot.  And of course, I forgot this time too.  He was highly disappointed.

So Bethany and I came up with a plan:  make our own.  We went to Walgreens and bought this:

I won't go into too many details here, but the next few HOURS (minutes, really) consisted of getting the mint to sprite ratio exactly right.  I would tell you, but it's now a secret elizabethany company recipe.



After we figured out exactly what our recipe should be, I made cool new labels.


Finally, the finished product.  Matt said it was fantastic.  My guilt for having forgotten Matt's Christmas present was gone.  All was well....
