Ok, I know that you, sincerely appreciated reader, are not going to like this post, but my sense of justice compels me to describe the following. And it was either post or tell CC at length, and actually posting is probably better for my relationship.
When I was coming up many years previous, they made this anti yeast infection cream that you had to use for 7 days. It costed like 14. (It was expensive!)
Then they invented 3-day cream. Then, a super crystal-power option: 1-day ultra cream.
And, this being soul-less capitalism, they priced them incrementally. The 3-day cream is like 19$. And the 1-day nuclear treatment: a whopping 22$!
I feel this is unfair and unjust, the worst of capitalism: How much is it worth to you to have 4 fewer days of genital itching? What about 6 fewer days? Is it worth 8 dollars?? If you hunker down with cranberry juice for just 2 more days, you'll save 3$--yes, you'll net the cost of the juice!--or, uh, what the hell am I thinking?
No one should have to answer these questions.

This is exactly why I went to business school.
Cranberry juice is a very expensive juice. Or maybe I am just confused, as I haven never bought it without purchasing vodka as well.
Hmmm.
As I learned from The West Wing, making the medication isn't very expensive. Inventing the medication costs millions and millions of dollars though. But don't worry, YSA. Just four more years, and then in Term Two Obama brings Socialism to America!
Right, and the antichrist! I can't wait.
eat more yogurt...?
I might be wrong about this but, due to a very uncomfortable moment in a WG seminar where a professor asked an entire class about the gynecological benefits of cranberry juice (quick guess that professor!), I think that if you hunker down with cranberry juice you'll be trying to treat the UTI that you don't have...and the itching, burning, horribleness of your yeast infection will continue. Yogurt will also do nothing but make your hooha smell like banana strawberry surprise. Bite the anti-woman capitalist bullet and get the one day (day or night) ovule. Then celebrate your itch free hooha and do as Could-be-a-model does: enjoy your cranberry juice with vodka and not with a yeast infection.
