Fourth

I like to have water at my desk at school. Tap water is fine with me, so I usually re-use a bottle over and over again. Gatorade bottles are nice because they have wide openings and are easier to fill at the water fountain.

At the beginning of the year I went to the Gatorade machine at school so I could get a bottle. I kind of like the lemon-lime flavor of Gatorade, so I was looking forward to emptying the bottle. But when I pressed the button, I didn’t get regular lemon-lime Gatorade, I got DIET Gatorade… sweetened with sucralose. Dang! I drank it anyway, and just dealt with the strange, metallic aftertaste.

Since then, I’ve lost my Gatorade bottle three times. Each time, I try a different button that clearly shows regular lemon-lime Gatorade. Each time, I get diet. Grrrr…. Two days ago, I purchased my fourth bottle. I haven’t lost it yet.

The water was my backup plan.

    Maybe the guy who fills your vending machine thinks that everybody needs to lose some weight. If you paid with chocolate coins, that would show him.

    I don’t know what the point is with diet gatorade anyway. It’s supposed to have sugar to help you refuel.

    Posting a picture with Dunkin’ Donuts in the background just to taunt me.

      Those look GOOOOOD. Mean, taunting Brad. You’ll bring one back for me when you go to Baltimore…right?

        Yes, they DO look good. I have a quick question though. What is the big deal about sprinkles on Donuts? I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still eat donuts with sprinkles. Mmmm….donuts.

    What kind of bread is that hand in the corner holding, banana or pumkin? Also, who’s hand is it?

    Oh, I also like the ripples in the water.

    I’ve no idea where the clear cup of water behind the Gatorade bottle might have come from, Brad. We all know that at our school the normal color of water from those pipes is nearer that of the original lemon-lime Gatorade than “normal” water.

    –she who totes her water from home to avoid accidentally injecting unknown particulate matter from who knows where…jibblie…
