Cryptic Thoughts on Sprite

Isn't it the worst thing when something like a Sprite from a soda fountain, whose color won't reveal it's missing ingredient, ends up only being soda water because the sweet syrup has run out?  Have you ever had that happen to you?  Have you ever gleefully gulped through the straw what you thought would be cold and bubbly and painfully sweet only to be shocked by the naked plainness of it's sugar catalyst?  Even though it's just carbonated water there is a moment when the taste is not only empty, but bitter.  Not only disappointing, but completely unfulfilling.  Have you doubted your tastebuds before you believed the soda was to blame?  Have you ever doubted yourself that way, in a moment of disappointment and shock?  Have you ever blamed yourself for not getting what you expected?

Sometimes what we want seems so simple and sometimes, still, we just don't get it.
