I went to Zero's today to get a sub, and I also got a large drink. So I took the cup to the drink fountain and looked for sweet tea, but I didn't see it, so I got root beer. As I was drinking my root beer waiting for my sub, the lady after me came to the fountain with her cup, and she filled it from a pitcher near the fountain that I hadn't noticed. I assumed it was sweet tea, but right then my sub came up and at the time I was in a hurry. Not wanting to waste my root beer, I tried to drink it all and then refill the cup with sweet tea, but I only finished about two-thirds of it before I decided I really had to go. So I filled the rest of the cup from the pitcher. I took a sip and almost puked. It was unsweet tea, which mixed with root beer produced a vile concoction. But I can't stand to waste food or drink, which is why I didn't just dump out the root beer in the first place, so now I have to finish my vile drink. It sits in my fridge now about a third empty, and I'm surprised I even got that far in just a few hours. It'll probably take a few more days to finish the whole thing. I've thought about adding something better to it as I go, but there's the risk that it won't help the taste and I'll just have more to drink. It's gonna be a rough couple of days.
