On Saturday it was nice and hot.
The sort of day where you like to mosey on over to the fridge, open the door and half lean on it whilst looking into the bright white cavern for something to quench your thirst.
You can tell I am a middle age woman by the contents of my fridge.
There was no fat, calcium enriched milk. Low fat, pot set yoghurt flavoured only by natural fruits and with no thickeners or nasty things in it. Fresh vegetables. Low fat cheese. Probiotic drinks.
And, the biggest indicator of all, two litres of prune juice.
That's right. Not fresh orange juice. No apple juice. No soft drink. Just good old prune juice.
So, when I kept opening the fridge it was either milk or prune juice.
So I kept having a glug of the prune juice straight out of the bottle.
Yep, necking the bottle like a lush.
I can safely say that I am the only fool that drinks it so I am allowed to slobber straight from the bottle.
But, prune juice is not for glugging, slugging, gulping or quenching of thirst.
And we know why don't we?
That's right. Prune juice is for helping the digestion and one should only partake of a small glass in the morning to help "move things along".
It is not for binge drinking on a hot day.
Especially a litre of it.
You see, the only thing that stopped me was that later in the day I had the most frightful pain in my lower gut and realised that perhaps I had been a bit heavy handed on the prune juice.
Without that warning gurgle I may have had the entire two litres.
It would have been as bad as the Gall Bladder Flush I did.
But better tasting.

13 Squeaks:
I don't think I've ever had prune juice, does it taste like grape juice?
In my head I imagine it would taste like raisin juice...even though there is no such thing.
I like prune juice... I should get some, even though I'm regular, I seem to be gaining weight around my middle, and nowhere else at all. My friends tell me I need a cleanse. However, I am NOT doing the sort of cleanse you did in the linked post. I nearly gagged just reading it! You are very brave!
I do worry about cramping though, and the inconvenience of needing to go when I'm not at home. YIKES.
Lucky for me, I keep a beer behind the prune juice. a sleight of hand and viola!
The woman in the poster kinda looks like you.
Erin: A prune is a dried, dark plum. Prune juice is thick compared to normal fruit juice. And sweet but not sickly. Dark in colour.
Karen: Ah, the weight around the waist. Sigh....gets harder to keep off as the years creep on. I am afraid it will take more than prune juice to shift that.
Agree, give the Gall Bladder Flush a big, big miss.
RJ: Oh, and does it keep you regular?
Veronica: Ha ha, yep it is me. I am actually 75 and daily prune juice is the secret to my youthful looks.
Wow, sounds rough.
Speaking of roughage, Cow takes a tablespoon of "Triple Organic Fiber" and it keeps everything ticking along, plus has a lot fewer calories than prune juice.
Cow hoping Linda gets some calorie free sparkling water in the fridge or something else fun, to keep the prune juice at bay.
Moo!
I had one beer for dinner last night. There is always beer in my fridge.
Topiary Cow: Actually, on Monday I added mineral water to the shopping trolley.
Now, you do seem to be a great supplier of healthy tips and defuzzing of legs.
WOW: Was beer your dinner? Or with your dinner?
A prune chugging, middled aged, refridgerator robber......how sexy......
Bruce: Imagine that description going up on a dating site!
I happen to like prune juice. I kind of have to be in the mood for it though. You're right, it is not the thirst quencher on a hot day...lol! Hope things did not "move along" too swiftly! LOL!
How bout a nice tall, cold glass of water? :)...giggle*
Weeks later, Cow is still haunted by the memory of the Gall Bladder Flush post.
She knows somebody else who did that and Cow's theory is that oil and juice mix to make the things that come out, because this friend still ended up having the gall bladder out a few months later, even after the flush.
Moo!
Presious: Yes, there was the option of tap water but sometimes you just want something with taste.
Funnily enough, I have not been able to look at it since last week. You can have too much prune juice.
Topiary Cow: Ah ha! That is what they meant by a gall bladder flush. If I did a cellulite flush, would that get rid of it, the whole lot?
Thinking about that whole hideous flush, I am surprised I did not get pancreatitis or something. If a gall stone got out it would have wedged in the bile duct.
I am relieved to know there are other idiots out there doing kooky things.
