Six Minutes

Researchers at the University of Michigan have concluded that drinking Coke might be shortening your life. Taking into consideration things like additives, fats, calories, and sugar content, they estimate each can you drink may shave a full twelve minutes off your life. And you have to wonder, what if those are the best twelve minutes you had coming?

A sobering thought there.

Well, I’ve devised a workaround where I don’t need to worry about that. I now drink the little half-sized cans of Coke. Therefore, I am only losing six minutes. I figure not much can happen in six minutes. Most days, I can’t even decide what to watch on Netflix in that amount of time.
