This is amusement
Mar. 11th, 2009 04:54 pmA co-worker's daughter came by to sell me Girl Scout Cookies, and her eyes got really big when I put '3' under Thin Mints. "That's a lot!"
I'd be insulted if it weren't so adorable.
I bought 6 total.

I'm engaged!
Jan. 14th, 2008 01:38 pmOr at least, I would be if I could marry a liquid. But as always, those damn conservatives are keeping us down. Don't they know I just want to be free to love?!
Ahem. I went on a grocery run Thursday night and bought another 12-pack of Coke Zero because the water in my apartment smells kind of icky. (At least, that's the excuse I used.) Today it's Monday and I have one can left.
I think I have a problem.
I have to say, having tried Diet Coke and Coke Zero both, I don't know why anyone drink Diet Coke, which tastes like liquefied metal mixed with wood shavings. Coke Zero is so much better, and so much closer to the flavor of regular Coke. It's not perfect, but it's good enough. It's like that guy at a party who's not really conventionally handsome, but has something interesting about him, whether it's an unusual haircut or a cool shirt, and you start talking to him and before you know it you're totally grooving each other.
What the heck makes them so different? They appear to be, basically, just two different kinds of Diet pop, except one's hideous and one is delightful. Maybe it's because taste buds have been accustomed to Diet for too long, but if it were based on actual quality, they'd pour all remaining Diet Coke down the drain, burn the recipe and have a holiday to celebrate of the greatness of Coke Zero (at least by comparison).
