Weird?
Yes.
Could it just be in my head?
Yes.
But who cares, it's my blog and commenting anymore on how much artificially flavored carbonated water I consume would be a waste of your time and, more importantly, my time.
Because of this I have made an effort to minimize my soda intake and I am trying to switch to other caffeinated options that may or may not be a smidgen more healthy. That leaves coffee and tea -- and I don't drink coffee. Period.
