The Carbonation Hiccups

In a world full of Diet Dr. Pepper addicts, Diet Coke connoisseurs, and Mountain Dew maniacs, I have never been a huge pop fan. (yes, I still call it pop).

Carbonation gives me the hiccups, and quite frankly the burps.

please excuse my unladylike-ness.

However, I have recently been informed that NOT

consuming this carbonation goodness is craziness.

Thus, I was introduced to:

The one and only Coke Zero. Apparently this stuff is magic. Makes you float. Makes you fly sky high. Gives you life. After weeks of coaxing, I gave in. I was weak. I stooped. I settled.

I tried the darn thing.

and I must admit it was good.

But I did still hiccup...a lot. (The kind that hurt.

The kind that scare you..even though most of the time you see it coming.)

and I did still burpie just a wittle bittie.

Only time will tell of the addict I very well may soon become.

Until then..I'll have my usual...cold water with a straw and a lemon.
