Diet Coke, I can't really pinpoint what I love the most about you. Maybe it's the feeling of you quenching my thirst on a warm summer day, turning to you when a water just isn't cutting it, you being the perfect combo with a savory meal, salty snack, or even sweet. You just hit the spot. But we Diet Coke drinkers can't always revel in our sweet bliss because we often get questioned for our drink of choice. Here are some common things we're tired of hearing:
1. “You can clean a toilet with Diet Coke."
It can quench my thirst AND be used for cleaning. Way to be multi-functional, Diet Coke!
2. Server: “Is Diet Pepsi okay?"
No. No. No. No. No. “Yeah, Diet Pepsi is fine!"
3. “You are better off drinking a highly sugary drink."
4. “It can give you cancer."
Let's all say what my Psych 100 professor made us say my freshman year: “Correlation does not equal causation!"
5. "It stains your teeth."
6. "Why don't you just drink water?"
Why don't I just puke?
7. “Diet Coke really isn't healthy for you."
Neither are those seven slices of pizza that I just ate.
8. “I don't get why you drink that…"
*sips Diet Coke*
