I annoy everyone with whom I watch movies because I’m a terrible movie talker. I predict endings, ask if my fellow viewers remember so-and-so actor from another movie, talk about how stupid or misogynistic or homophobic some plot turn may be. I even annoy myself, but I just can’t shut up.
I can't wait for the day when water can just be water again and doesn't have to be dressed up in bright colors, laden with chemicals, and sold back to us. I always get a kick out of the zero-calorie beverage ads because my most frequently consumed beverage of choice is also completely calorie- and sugar-free and gets delivered straight to my kitchen for no cost at all. What can I say, I've beat the system. I'm that smart.
The "healthy" soft drink industry doesn't seem to think I or my fellow uterus-bearing fluid-drinkers are terribly smart at all, though. They keep pandering to us with ladylike colors and catchy drink names. And sometimes they advertise pretty maliciously. A new beverage campaign for Skinny Water--which seems to be a Vitamin Water clone, except it also markets itself as a sports drink like Gatorade--proclaims that "skinny always gets the attention". You know, in case you forgot that you, as a woman, are supposed to be thin in order to matter to anyone as a human being.
