'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Fuck, Kat. That's a whole bundle of stress. Is there anything we can mobilise and do?
I still think the stuff's too sweet, but turning people off it by comparing it to Coke is heavy handed and clumsy.
Why?
Because of just what Jessica says. 27g of carbs isn't really that much like 13g of carbs. Apple juice is sweeter than VitaminWater.
Kat, so much ~ma to your dad.
Kat, is it bypass surgery? I'll send all the good cardiac vibes to your dad, since my dad doesn't seem to need them these days.
Yep. He's not being transferred to any of the big Cleveland hospitals though.
And, I can't just up and take off even though I'm doing nothing in this job that someone else couldn't do. I need to work 180 days to get paid through the summer. So, here I sit.
I'm getting panicky.
Carbs aren't relevant unless you're already reading nutrition labels -- I have no idea what the relevance of 27g of carbs to 13g of carbs is if the caloric content is similar. I would argue an 8 oz can of coke is the most familiar liquid, aside from water, worldwide-- people have a constellation of nutritional associations with it. Pointing out that vitamin water has not only about 125 more calories than water, but resembles something that is viewed to be unhealthy, is not a bad comparison. What would make a better comparison?
Sorry to hear it, Kat. All the good vibes and thoughts I can muster are with you and yours.
Hell's Most Wanted: Are you on this list?
Several times over.

Regular cans of Coke are 12 oz. Well, in America. I know they come in different sizes around the world (and I've seen the cute little 8 oz. cans here too), but I think the 12 oz. size is more common. Maybe.

Per serving, Coke has about twice the calories of VitaminWater.
[eta: Neither company, as far as I know, actually sells an 8 oz bottle or can in the US, but both consider "one serving" to be 8 oz.]
Best hopes for your dad, Kat
