OK, so November has been all about good change but ...

... apparently October was nothing but TERRIBLE change, because look what I just discovered while reading up on the Wikipedia page for "Zima:" (What? Don't look at me like that. What else are you supposed to do to take the sting off of a Monday?)

"Zima is a lightly-carbonated clear malt beverage made and distributed by the Coors Brewing Company. Introduced in 1993, it was marketed not as a beer, but as an alternative to beer, an early example of what is now often referred to as alcopop. Its production ceased in October 2008, but it is currently still in distribution."

WHAT?!?!?! One of our country's greatest natural resources is running out, like a ticking time bomb, and yet, we remain ignorant and wasteful, hastily consuming Zima like the well will never run dry. Well, I've got news for you folks: the well will run dry, one day, and it won't be us that will have to suffer from the lack of "alcopop," it will be our children.

Grow up, America. Find an alternative source of non-alcoholic beverage that tastes like crap. It won't be easy ... oh, look, a Red Bull. Nevermind, that wasn't so bad.
