Drinking Diet Coke is a practically a lifestyle, and many tend to "disagree" with our lifestyle. Fear not caffeine enthusiasts, I am on your side! As I've enjoyed this marvelous, chemically sweetened concoction over the years, here are some of the annoying comments that I and many of you have probably received about our beverage choice:
1. "Just because it's called Diet Coke doesn't mean it'll make you skinny" THE TASTE. I PROMISE YOU I JUST LIKE THE TASTE.
2. "Harmful chemicals blah blah blah.." You lost me at blah blah blah
3. "You don't need caffeine to feel awake and alert" that may be true but quite frankly I don't care
4. "You just had three in a row, isn't that enough?" When it comes to Diet Coke, enough is NEVER enough
5. "Try some Coke Zero, it tastes the same" if it isn't a silver can and doesn't say "diet coke", I'm out
6. "Pepsi is so much better" bye
7. "It is bad for your hair, skin, eyes." C'mon, I drink it - I don't bathe in it!
8. "It causes cancer" so does breathing air, eating meat, using a microwave and talking on a cell phone - and I'm not giving those up either!
9. "It's so last year. Vitamin water is in!" It's a liquid - not social commentary.
10. "It alters your mood" no wonder I feel happier after drinking it!
11. "It's a fat person drink," now that's just rude :-(
12. "We only serve Pepsi products is that OK?" I'm a decent human being so I'm going to say yes because you're my waiter, but in reality I hate you.
13. "It has no nutritional value" BRB. In Diet Coke denial. Please leave a message at the tone.
14. "Sorry I had the last one.." You are DEAD to me!
15. "You think you're so cool because you drink Diet, huh?" The real question is do you think you're cool because you DON'T drink it?!
