What is a functional beverage?

This evening, Sharmila and I were walking around Avalon looking for a bar to sit down for a drink. She realized she needed to pick up something from the grocery store. So, we stepped into the Whole Foods.

I was inside a grocery store after a long time. So, as she shopped, I just ambulated thru the aisles – rather desultorily, if I may add – glancing thru all the different kinds of things they had stocked.

It is then that I came upon this board. I get “Water”, “Bottled Tea” and “Sodas”. But what is “Functional Beverages?”

Is it not really a beverage but just functionally so? Does that mean water, bottled tea and sodas are not functional?

Do you know?

Beautiful day out on the lake with the Sivasubramaniams!

If you had told me – thirty seven years back – that in a future world this classmate of mine from Computer Science days in IIT Madras and I will be riding a boat some day, there would have been no way in God’s green earth that I would have believed you. And then, after a moment of thought, I might have asked you – “Will I be above ‘C’-level?” (ha ha). We were nothing in those engineering days if not full of PJs (poor jokes ~ groaners).
