finally!

My local convenience store was out of Dr. Pepper Zero, but they had—miracle of miracles—Cherry Coke Zero! I'm not sure I've ever seen this anywhere in Korea. It's certainly not a local thing. I've seen regular Cherry Coke in places like Itaewon, but Cherry Coke Zero out in some random convenience store is unheard of.

So my eyes are full of capillaries. So what?

Imagine falling in love, then parting from your love. Years go by; the love seems to fade... and then, an eternity later, you meet your love again, and all of those old feelings—the ones you'd thought had faded—resurface, and they're as strong as ever. That's me and Cherry Coke. And even though I'd prefer the real thing to Zero, I'm happy to have Zero.

  2. (cue melody and musical accompaniment) Reunited and it feels so good! ... When Vanilla Coke lands on our shores, I, too, will have reason to celebrate!
