word to the wise

when buying yogurt in Japan be very careful to not only look at the picture on the yogurt container, but also be on the lookout for the tiny label that says アロイ (aloe) because it is not a pleasant experience when expecting only blueberries to be eating yogurt with blueberry and small chunks of aloe.  My tongue feels funny now.

there are tons of things with aloe in them here. but usually i try to avoid them. and interesting, i think, is definitely the right word.
