The year is quickly coming to an end, so what the heck, I thought I would live it up.
My favorite drink ever is/was Vanilla Diet Coke. It was like a religion to me. It pulsed through my veins, or at least I wish it did. About a year or so ago, they discontinued this palatal masterpiece. I, along with a few others (Marcia), were devastated. Coke has since come about with Diet Coke Vanilla Zero and other impostor drinks, but none have been the same.
I bought refrigerator cases by the truckload, but when I realized that Coke had attempted to crush my caffeine addiction by discontinuing my heavenly nectar, I saved one, last, eternal refrigerator case. Today, that case is over a year old!
For some time I lived in denial. I would open the food storage door and the first thing I would see is that lonely, beautiful, full, Diet Vanilla Coke refrigerator case just smiling back at me. And who can resist that smile! I never dared open the case because that would succumb myself to the reality that Diet Vanilla Coke was really gone, never to return. I just didn't know how I could go on harboring that knowledge.
But I woke up today, and I knew that today, the last day of 2007, was different.
I opened the box.
I guess I can move on. There are other soft drinks out there. I will find another... never a replacement.
So, I opened the first can in the box. I took a sip.
It had gone bad. BLEH!
The rest went in the garbage.
I guess the transition won't be so hard after all!
