diet coke

I wish I liked Diet Coke. I don't like it though, and I probably haven't even had a sip of it since I was about.....12-13 or so. I simply can't stand the taste! Maybe my tastes have changed in 11 years or so, but I've been hesitant to test it out. I just figure that if you're going to have a coke at all, why not go all out? I did go look at the back of the can just now to see what the differences were, and Coke has 140 calories and 39g of carbs as opposed to Diet Coke's 0 calories and 0g carbs, but they forgot to include that Diet Coke also has 0g of great tasting flavor whereas Coke has 7,000g.

But it DOES look cool to type about having engaged in Diet Coke drinking activities, as Julie so eloquently does here:


Why do you have to make it sound so fun, julesdwit? Why?!

you just have to go for it. and eventually your taste buds change. no one who likes diet coke liked it at first. but, eventually, coke will taste gross.

in the beginning, drink in a cup, with as much ice as possible. somehow, no one knows how, it makes it better. or start with zero or splenda dc to ease your transition.

my office is full of hard core diet coke ladies. can you tell?

Our office keeps the largest stash of Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Coke I've ever seen. There is only one person who drinks the regular. You really should go for it!

And on a related note, I was suffering major Diet Coke withdraw Sunday night (I had gone without for about 24 hours) and tried to get Justin to run to the convenience store up the road during Grey's, but he wouldn't budge. :(

Hey Becki, did you know that your blog about diet coke and the other one about phenylalanine are closely related? Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid found in aspartame. It is also the precursor to tyrosine, a building block of dopamine. Ok......who wants to hit me with the "nerd bat"?
