"5% MORE!" the diet dr. pepper bottle assured me. When I got close enough to read the small print, it said, "than a 20oz bottle."
Which meant that, hey, instead of 20 ounces of soda, there were a whole 21! Isn't that great?
Snerk. Stuff like that always amuses me, in a weird sort of way. The small deceptions that companies use to get people to buy whatever product or service they're offering.

Also on my mind this morning... why, why, why have people already started writing fanfic about Lost? It's been what, half a season, if that?
I've already found some really horrible examples, too, which is really very sad. Not quite to the extent that I've found really horrible Harry Potter fanfics (and lord have I--and so have other people...headache-inducing, eye-bleeding stuff), but there are some bad ones out there just the same.
And, much like the Harry Potter stuff, I'm going to have to just not read it--not only to spare myself from the crapulence, but also to make sure I don't get the fanfic universe confused with the 'canon' universe. Something like that, anyway.
But yeah. Makes me very sad. Leave the show alone for a season, would you? Or wait til the first season's over and we're all in withdrawls or something... :)
