I'm digging the CI flash sale. The one that has a banner that says 90 deals! but there's actually only 30.

30 per day, yesterdays are gone...
tomorrow you get another 30.

And that will add up to the 90 that are available on the Clearance page every day.

Twice this week I bought what I thought was naturally flavored carbonated water and it turned out to be soda, with tons of sugar substitute in it.  WTF?

WTF has Dr. Oz have you buyin' now anyway?

Truth is, I love water.  I generally don't want carbonation or flavoring but it caught  my eye and I bit.  Earlier in the week, my wife asked me to buy her some lemon carbonated water (she's all about the carbonation) and I bought some similar shit.

OK, RANT OVER

Tony, you go to the Drew Estate event tonight and I'll meet Dave in Somerville, no offense of course

OK, I'll buy the pizza and have it delivered to yuz.

[Travellin Dave]

I honestly don't give a shit, I just want to meet up and smoke a cigar.

My vote is still Somerville but I'll do whatever

I agree with Somerville, half hour closer, not big on a meal with cigars (pizza is just fine), event will surely be crowded and expensive for both food and drinks...and cigars.

Done!  How about meatball and bacon on that pizza?

Sounds like a plan, done and done.

I'll be there in an hour. 

I'll set my watch.....5:30 it is.

maybe the sugar substitute was that natural stevia crap....

NOT!  The problem is that when I see "0 calories" and "Naturally Flavored Water Beverage", I don't bother to read the ingredient list.  The key is "Beverage".  Fuckers tricked me again!

Truth is that my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I should have been wearing glasses to see the list of ingredients.  I don't even know what half this shit is:

Filtered Water, Citric Acid, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavor, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Citrate, Sucralose, Calcium Disodium Edta -

It's not like I'm all about healthy eating or anything but don't fucking deceive me.

Phosphoric acid gives the bite to soda (that we think is a result of the carbonation)
Citric acid and Sodium Citrate are flavoring
Sodium Benzoate is a preservative
Sucralose is a non nutritive sugar aka Splenda made by the chlorination of sucrose.
Calcium Disodium EDTA - preservative and flavor/color/texture enhancer
Sodium Hexametaphosphate - thickener, emulsifier and texturizer

Note: both EDTA and Sodium Hexametaphosphate bind heavy metals, so add the (unintended when it comes to soda) benefit of fixing heavy metals decreasing toxicity and aiding removal.

So you're all good.

Just mix it with scotch and we're all good.

The word 'natural' or 'all-natural' is definitely one that is abused pretty regularly on labels

Natural is always good!,  petroleum, benzene, lead, uranium are all natural.

I was able to secure some Southern Tier Choklat Oranj Stout, should be interesting
