The items that I ordered from Amazon on February 28, 2025, have arrived. I, being a MAGA Republican, purchased them in protest of the Democrats who were boycotting companies that are abolishing DEI hiring, as per President Trump, which includes Amazon and Target to name a couple. Also, I thought I would use a gift card that I received for my 64th birthday on February 26, 2025. This is what I purchased:
1. Three jars of the Italian antacid Brioschi, pronounced "bree-AH-ski. I have use this lemony remedy since I was a young kid in the 1960s, usually after eating too much of my Italian grandmother's delicious dinners. You just mix the small, short, thin cylinders of sodium bicarbonate with water and drink it before it stops fizzing. It was created in Italy in 1880.
2. A book that I have been wanting to find for decades. It's about the Austrian dialect of the German language. I am partially of Austrian descent, and I have studied textbook German, also known as "high German." While I already know a few words in "Austrian," I never could find a book about it. I finally found it by luck from Amazon.
3. Austrian chocolate-banana candy that I first enjoyed on one of my seven journeys to Austria (starting in the early 1980s) to visit my many Austrian cousins and to ski with them in the Austrian Alps. These candies are kind of like banana marshmallows coated in chocolate, but not quite.
