A Bittersweet Realization

My consumption of McDonald's Sweet Tea is making me gain weight. So it's back to water and coffee. So long, sweet tea. Our little fling was fun while it lasted....

OH NO! ...perhaps just once a week?

I just don't know, MCK. The emotional impact may be more than I can handle.

There's always the tea in my cabinet that I could....oh the horror of it.....make myself.

Don't tell the government that McDonald's SWEET (extra sugar) makes people gain weight. They will ban it from existence and force us to give up our Ramen next!

Lord help us! Save our country!

Mr. Worried and Afraid,

The government has not yet banned Big Mac's, Krispy Kreme, or baklava. I think we're safe.

But perhaps they SHOULD ban that foul substance known as Ramen, except that college students everywhere would be dropping dead from hunger.

Collegius Studentius is a common subspecies of mankind. Their natural habitat often migrates between a small, cramped area known to induce claustrophobia known as a dorm and a building where they lurk regardless of night or day. They are, quite oddly, neither carnivores nor omnivores, instead opting to survive on a paltry diet involving an odd noodle-type dish of unknown origin called ramen, as well as various kinds of energy drinks with a great deal of calories or methylxanthines intended to prolong their non-hibernating state.
