Diet Cheerwine

I was so excited to find that my Bruno's grocery store right here in Griffin, Georgia sells Diet Cheerwine. The taste is a delightful combination of Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke. I bought two two-liters of it when I went to the store this evening.

From the time I bought the Diet Cheerwine at 6:30 to the time I went to bed at about 11:00, I had consumed about 2/3 of the two-liter bottle. Well...I discovered after I'd consumed all of that Diet Cheerwine that it does, in fact, have caffeine. You may not know this about me, but if I have a twelve-ounce can of a caffeinated beverage at lunchtime, I could still be up at around 2:00 in the morning. I have managed to drink about 4 cans' worth of a caffeinated beverage in the course of 4 hours. I'm definitely afraid of the consequences.

As meticulous as I am about checking the nutrition labels on food and drinks, I neglected, in my utter excitement, to check the ingredient list on the Diet Cheerwine.

If I survive this tragedy, I'll have to limit myself to drinking the rest of my Diet Cheerwine in the early morning hours: what a wonderful way to start off the day!
