Fountain Drinks

Have you ever noticed the difference between canned cokes, bottled cokes and fountain cokes? I haven't really, I mean before I came to the Sandbox I wasn't even drinking carbonated drinks. Then when I got to the Sandbox I realized I was going to have to indulge in something just to stay sane so I started drinking coke again.

But something weird happened on this trip out. Usually I'm really excited to have Dr. Pepper and I always make a point to drink one every day while I'm on vacations. Except this time I got to Egypt and only wanted a fountain coke. I bought a few Dr. Peppers just becuase I feel like you should buy them when you have the opportunity, but they're still sitting in the fridge and I'm still craving fountain coke.

I don't really know why I have this weird craving but I think my friends in Egypt thought I was crazy on the first day I got here and they were asking me what I wanted for dinner. They said the options were limitless and I should think of something that I had been missing, they even gave me a few examples and all I could come up with was that I really wanted a fountain drink. And every day since then I have made it a point to stop by McDonalds and get a coke, no food, just a coke...And now I've had so much coke in the past week that I think I'll give it up again when I get back to the Sandbox but for now I'm enjoying it immensely!

Fountain coke is definitely better than canned. The best Coca-Cola (I can't speak for any other specific soft drink) comes from a glass bottle. Mmmmm.
The sandbox seems to be treating you well. When are you coming home?
