I guess what I don't get about this thread is that Winniview got to go out for a nice meal with his/her family at a restaurant that some people probably can't afford, and got to be waited on. But somehow got focused on a charge of $2.25/soft drink....
Everything is so wonderful - great food, family time, being waited on, going out, not having to be home, no dishes (and no turkey leftovers -again!)

- and yet this one thing - the cost of carbonated water with sugar and flavorings in a glass - makes everything so bad.
