It’s like cigarettes. No, I don’t smoke. But its like it. You know how smokers sometimes NEED a cigarette when they’re stressing. I need something too. I need a soda. I know it sounds odd but its true. I’m also a gum junkie. I opened a new pack of gum yesterday. 14 pieces total. I gave 2 away and now there are only 3 pieces left. So between yesterday and today I chewed more than half the pack by myself! Also as I was stressing out at work today, I needed a soda. It’s like fuel. Indeed it did make me feel a little better.
