I had a coupon for this particular item and, since I am always trying (unsuccessfully) to at least cut back on the amount of soda I drink, especially at the office, decided to pick up 6 cans of it this morning. I had one after finishing my lunchtime walk and, after trying it, I'll say it was definitely interesting. First of all, I had never even heard of sweet potato juice until reading the back of the can and finding out it is the primary ingredient in this drink. Heck, even now, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that because a sweet potato seems like such an unlikely thing to get juice from.

People who go out of their way to criticize something you eat. Whether you mention it in person or post something about it on social media, there always seems to be that one person who has to point out how unhealthy it is and how they would never eat that. It doesn't matter if it's a slice of pizza or (as was actually the case this morning) an ear of corn. My personal philosophy = Don't eat McDonald's on a daily basis but also take the time to enjoy life/food. Yes, it's possible that greasy burger I had the other day will give me a heart attack later in life. But, I could also watch every single thing I eat only to get hit by a bus. Personally, I would rather enjoy what life I am given rather than give everything up for the slim chance I might live a few more years.
