    It was free.

It's why free refills at McD are so damn attractive: they're free! Doesn't matter that they're ripping you off to begin with. I read a couple of years ago that a refill at a fast food joint costs them about 2 US cents (I believe it might be for necessary amount of syrup alone, but still).

I try not to delve into extremes and call things like this evil, but I agree with your sentiment. Our instincts are easy to exploit and difficult to keep in check. Good on you for doing the running and getting healthier in general.
