Unbelievable!

I was completely freaking out, so excited was I that the holiday season is upon us meaning… CRANBERRY SPLASH IS BACK!
Its only the best holiday soda ever invented! I was nervous to have some this year, since I’ve had two UTIs since last February and after the second one my doctor told me to stay away from soda. But, but… my Favorite Beverage On Earth comes but once a year! So when B came home with two bottles of it last night I told myself I’d try to keep my consumption to a respectable level. Moderation, kids! I even waited to have some since it was past 8:30 p.m. when he got home.
I just ate dinner and after drinking 8 oz. of water after work (being kind to my bladder!), I poured myself a small glass of Cranberry Splash to drink with my dinner.
And I don’t believe it! I haven’t had soda of any kind since my last UTI, which was in August. Three months soda free! And guess what? I’m finding Cranberry Splash too sweet! I can’t even finish the small glass I poured. I don’t like it. I don’t like The Best Soda On Earth anymore!
I suppose I should be happy that my body has chosen to prefer healthier things now that I’ve trained it a little. But I’m still sad. Cranberry Splash made me so happy last year! I don’t know whether to be happy or sad. I’m just confused.

But the irony is… cranberry juice is supposed to be really good for UTIs!

Yeah, really! I know. I guess the sugar in the soda will feed the bacteria (if there are any) and help them multiply and the carbonation also irritates the bladder. But I guess if any soda, I should drink this one. I’ll tell myself that, anyway.
Update: I had it a few more times and it’s growing on me again. I find myself needing it more and more. I swear there must be crack in it!
