Diet "soda"

[charmed]

Blecch. I am trying to drink a diet cherry 7UP and it's torture. On the bright side, if all I had to drink was diet pop, I wouldn't have this big gut because it would severely cramp my drinking style.

I actually prefer diet soda because I can't stand the taste of high fructose corn syrup.  On that note, it's almost Passover, so there should be Coke available at the moment made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.  It goes really quickly - check it out!

[OBB]

I'm confused... you refer to it as both "soda" and "pop"...

Odd!!

I love diet coke.

It took a little while to get used to it, but I can't stand regular coke now.

I've never heard of this... What's the story behind it, Gamp?  I was a huge Coke drinker before they messed around with "New" Coke (long ago) and it never got back to where it was.  I'm told you can still get the original formula in Mexico, but I'm not sure about the sugar v. HFCS issue?

[Gamplayerx]

Corn syrup is not kosher during Passover, so Coca-Cola puts out Coke during Passover that is made with real sugar.

[Gamplayerx]

By the way, there's a difference between something being "kosher" and something being "kosher for Passover."  Except for during Passover (April 23rd through the 30th this year), corn syrup is 100% kosher.  And 100% gross, but that's another story.

I accidentally purchased a diet Cherry coke yesterday.....blech!

Eww.  Poor Sapph.

i used to drink about a 2 liter of diet every day at work.  It has no calories how can it hurt?  my stomach killed me every night.   yes i know i talk that a lot. 

[Jessie]

I drink about 4-6 diet cokes a day.

This may be why I can't sleep.

4 to 6?  Wow.  I'm a Diet Cokeaholic, but you outdo me by a lot.  Unless you're talking about wimpy cans.  I drink the nice 1 liter bottles.

[Jessie]

Well, today I've had 3 cans, and I haven't even been to lunch yet.

I usually buy 2 20 oz. bottles before work to drink for breakfast.  Then, I have a 20 or 32 oz. diet coke at lunch, which I usually get at least one refill on, sometimes more.

I don't always have diet coke at home, but sometimes I do.

[Jessie]

Ok, I had a ginormous diet coke at lunch.  I don't know how big it was, but it was bigger than 32 oz. without a doubt.

Now I'm having another can, because I had to take my medicine.

I'd say I'm up to a good 85 ounces of Diet Coke so far today.

See, when I offered to give up Diet Coke in support of the Junto Jasons' Sobriety Special on Friday, I wasn't playing.  They didn't take me up on it, though, I don't think.

Hate diet sodas. All of them.

I especially resent Diet Dr Pepper, since everyone has to throw in, "It tastes just like real Dr Pepper!"

Gamp, if you're looking to avoid HFCS and you like Dr Pepper, try some Dublin Dr Pepper:

Best. Dr Pepper. Ever.

2 days diet cike heads.

2 days diet cike heads.

2 days of what?  You leave it open-ended and who knows where our minds will go.

I forgot to bring change for the vending machines to work with me.  I'm pissed at myself.

I meant diet coke heads.  I haven't had a drink since Sunday afternoon.

I'm sure karma is way better than like AA or any of that crap, so I'll give you karma every hour (if I remember) that you're sober!

And I'll give you credits.

[Beefy]

Wow, I am both elated and sad to hear it.

Elated, obviously, since I am happy you are doing better.

Sad, since it was the source of much comedic content.

I guess I will have to pick up the slack; I'll run by the store at lunch.

[DownSouth]

Have you ever been to an AA meeting in the south?  It would make you want to drink more.
