LOL 7-15 Life, Other, and Lids

I love the "other" option on this lid. It gives people like me who hate labels the freedom to choose something other than the preordained, cookie cutter mold choices. For example, sometimes I start with a Diet Coke, then refill my cup with water. Where's the punch-in designation for that choice? Or what if I'm in a crazy mood and I add a zest of Orange Crush to my Diet Coke? I'd be lying if I punched in Diet. See, the problem with specific labels is that people attach their own connotations and judgements to them and their connotations and judgements often don't align with mine. It's kinda like that in life, too. Once you or someone else identifies you with a label, you're open to everyone else's interpretation of what they think is really inside you. Tell you what... For those of you that want to label me, I'm going to make it easy for you. Just punch "other." That way you'll save yourself a lot of incorrect guesses and for those of you that are "others," like me, LIKE this post. Thanks, McDonald's, for the inspiration. LOL...
