See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

P-C, probably marginally better in that (a) it does contain trace amounts of vitamins and whatnot, which is more than Coke does, and (b) it has no HFCS, which is a suspected factor in increasing obesity and diabetes rates in the US.

But if you're looking for seriously healthier, you're probably better off having a piece of actual fruit and a bottle of fizzy water.

According to this bottle of ruby grapefruit Juice Squeeze, it's not a significant source of Vitamin A or Vitamin C.

From the name it doesn't sound like a significant source of juice either.

According to this bottle of ruby grapefruit Juice Squeeze, it's not a significant source of Vitamin A or Vitamin C.

How is that possible? It seems like anything that's ever been waved vaguely in the direction of some fruit gets to claim, like, 2100% RDA of Vitamin C.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

FACT: Fruit juice has as many calories and as much sugar as Coke.

Not the same kind of sugar, though. And far fewer chemicals.

Also: I get paid twice a month now! I'm off to the neighboring town to deposit my check. Hooray, paycheck day! Also, hooray-in-advance for direct deposit, which will mean not having to do this anymore.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

From the name it doesn't sound like a significant source of juice either.

It contains 70% fruit juice.

How is that possible? It seems like anything that's ever been waved vaguely in the direction of some fruit gets to claim, like, 2100% RDA of Vitamin C.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that myself.

Heh. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't completely crazy to think fruit juice was better than Coke. I've tried to cut back on the amount of soda I drink, replacing it with milk and fruit juice/lemonade and such instead. I won't give it up completely, but I have to feel healthier somehow!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Coke has HFCS and there's also some indications that HFCS+high carbonation are super-bad for you. So no, not crazy at all.

Lately I've been mixing a bit of 100% fruit juice with a lot of fizzy water, and it is muy tasty.

I love the idea of fizzy water, but carbonation and SuziQ are non-mixy things. Blast.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So the tenant I got into the screaming match with earlier today was supposed to be here at 4:15 to talk about his account.

It's 4:29.

Who's the liitlest bit not-surprised??

Hey, Aims, what ever happened with that tenant that refused to let your people in without something like 30 days notice?
