It occurred to me that I hadn't thought about cream soda since I was a kid. (Does it even still exist?) Cream soda falls into the same class of foods/drinks that root beer and pancakes do — the first few sips/bites are so sublime that you ask yourself why you don't consume them more often. But then, after about thirty seconds you begin to to experience steeply diminishing returns and understand why you don't. By the time you finish you're filled regret and disgust and self-loathing. Very few foods/drinks have this effect. There should be a name for it. Every romantic relationship I've had with a woman involves, at some point, going to a diner together to eat breakfast, my girlfriend ordering something civilized like an omelette and me ordering a stack of blueberry pancakes, and then me ultimately regretting my choice (and my girlfriend not regretting hers). She will ask, "Why do you eat that when so can have this?," as she points to her omelette. My reply is always the same: "I don't know."
