just opened a can of seltzer and took a swig and definitely felt a small chunk of something flow into my mouth and down my throat. it was too late to do anything about it. i felt it, looked down at the can, grimaced, and decided it was probably just a piece of an olive i ate moments before, or like, nope, stop thinking…it was just that. just an olive remnant set free from a tooth cave by the effervescent flow of carbonated water. no big deal.

update: it was ice. the seltzer is sorta frozen and it was an icy seltzer chunk. every mouthful is full of them and it’s excellent and exhilarating.
