Air: The New Diet

Today I drank Diet Air.

That was the name of a drink I had at Soup Plantation. I couldn't resist when I saw the name. I mean, talk about a contradiction in terms! How is air a drink?? And even more mind-boggling, how is it DIET? Are there lots of calories in air and I've just never noticed? I guess I can stop blaming my eating habits for my inability to lose that last stubborn 10 pounds and instead just blame the fact that I breathe.

Or perhaps, the name of the drink is a clever way of saying that air is the best thing to eat on a diet. Which is ironic, because the drink is...a drink. Which means you don't eat it, per se. Also, I'd like to point out that this drink has calories. Ten per serving, and there are two servings in the bottle. So, to recap: it's a drink, not food, and it is called "air", even though it is a liquid. And it is diet air, even though it has more calories than air actually does. I think.

If this doesn't seem weird to anyone else, then I probably need to get more sleep or something.

Or maybe I just need to drink more air.
