This picture below is what I have to do to get my mother, THE DIABETIC, to stop drinking sugar soda. She refuses to drink diet soda, because she says it all tastes like "prune juice" (and prunes are good, so what she is talking about?). But, and here is the funny part, she cannot taste most things or smell them. So, um, what is she even talking about? It's a mind over matter thing. It's all in her head. So I bought her her favorite soda, which is A&W, and got "zero sugar" instead of regular diet, which tastes so much better. And we, my kids and I, ripped off all the bottom sections of the bottle labels so she can't see the "zero sugar" label. I am going to tell her that they were sold cheaper since the labels were damaged at the store. HA! And honestly, I do not know how this will go, esp. since my son will probably blab to her that it's diet, but we'll see. Maybe he won't? LOL
If not, I'll drink it, because it's fucking delicious. So it's a win-win, no matter what.
This is the lengths we go to in order to keep my idiot mother safe from her own stupid choices. Sigh.
