I suppose I should be lucky that I am addicted to such a cheap, mostly harmless drug (think of how much I would spend a year if I was addicted to cigarettes or Vicodin)! I don't know if anyone else also believes this...but diet coke is even better from McDonald's! I have heard that it is the straw that they use (it's wider so it lets you slurp in more of that delicious beverage than sipping from a can).
One of the biggest disappointments I can have in a restaurant is when I hear those dreaded words..."is diet pepsi okay?" I just want to scream back at that waitress..."NO IT'S NOT OKAY! It tastes nothing like my delicious diet coke." This drives my husband CRAZY because he actually prefers diet pepsi (I know, what is wrong with him!) and he doesn't believe there is anything different in taste between the two. I have actually been known to choose one restaurant over another because I know they serve diet coke.
I know I should be drinking water...but it just doesn't taste as good. There are no bubbles to quench my thirst. It doesn't wake me up and feel like a real person after I have gotten up at 4:30am for work the last 4 days. It doesn't come in a beautiful silver can with that cute new logo (yes-I LOVE the new logo). Maybe someday I will overcome this addiction...but for now I will keep by 24 pack stashed in the back of my mini-van and hope that it doesn't freeze this winter and explode all over before I get to enjoy it's delicious goodness.
