I had promised myself that if I lasted a year without the nectar of the gods, CokeŽ, then I could have some of the caffeine-free version of it. Well, I had some, and it was just as I expected (feared) - it tasted like shit. Not because it was caffeine-free, but because it was a syrupy, carbonated drink. That sucks.
Hell, even my kid knew I wouldn't like it. When I took it out of the fridge, he tried to hand me a bottle of water, saying, "Momma, you don't like that, drink this." And after I spit it out, he said, like the smart-ass kid that I deserve to have, "See, I told you, you didn't like it" and then handed me the bottle of water he tried to give me not 3 minutes before, with a final "Drink this all day, it makes you feel better." And he was right.
