I do, however, have a persimmon. I wasn't expecting to find any at the store, but Save Mart had some, and they were not too expensive, either, so I bought one. It is now ripening in the kitchen. I'm not sure how long that will take, but chances are I'll be able to grow a persimmon sweater on my tongue for one of the upcoming rainy days.
While doing some tidying in my room I unearthed a pack of Trident cinnamon gum. There's no telling how long it had been there, buried under some old photograph envelopes from a drug store that was sold to a different chain several years ago, but it still smells of cinnamon, or cinnamon-like flavoring. I haven't tried chewing any yet. I'm not sure I'm desperate enough to chew gum that could well be more than a decade old, but if this November is like last November, I probably will be soon enough.
