Bad decision. I was thirsty Tuesday night and reached for the cranberry juice, and the damn thing is blood-colored swill. Now, only after perusing the juice aisle that I saw that not all cranberry juices are alike. There is cranberry juice "cocktail" and cranberry juice "blend," both of which add other stuff like sugar and apple juice. I didn't want those because I think the cranberry juice required in cocktails like the cape codder and the cosmopolitan has to be pure cranberries with nothing added. Well, after taking several sips, I see why sugar and apple juice needs to be added, because pure and unadulterated cranberry juice is just about undrinkable. And I bought 32 fluid ounces of it. Hope it tastes better in a cocktail.
Around the same time I drank the cranberry juice -- which was after work, by the way -- I also had cereal. I had my lactose-free milk, and I used two boxes of generic cereals my parents bought. One looked bland, so I thought I would even that out by combining that with a cereal that looked extremely sugary. Big mistake. I don't know if I ever had bad cereal before (there was one time when I was really young that in my Rice Krispies I saw an insect that was long, very tiny, and had a lot of legs), but damn, this was it. Each cereal seemed to bring out the worst in each other; the friggin' bowl of cereal managed to be both bland and sugary.
I don't remember any time in my life when I consumed back-to-back things that were so terrible they were inedible. Made some stupid bad choices when it came to what I put in my mouth.
