There is nothing better than opening up a crisp bottle/can of Diet Coke. The satisfaction of the cool, bubbly soda can't compare to anything else on this planet. Some may say our addiction is unhealthy, but I disagree. Loving Diet Coke is a way of life and here are eight things that you may relate to if you feel the same.

1. You hate when people tell you that you need to drink more water

You're just helping the planet and conserving water.

2. You will not go to certain restaurants because they serve Pepsi products

Taco Bell, Panera, KFC, Little Ceasar's...the list goes on.

3. You can't stand it when people say it's bad for you

It's not their job to tell you what you should or shouldn't be doing...right?

4. You understand when 3 p.m. rolls around it's time for a serving

Or 1 p.m...maybe 8 a.m.

5. You can easily taste the difference between fountain, bottled, or can

And you have your personal ranking of favorites.

6. You question when someone says they don't like it

You don't understand how someone could hate something that practically feels like family to you.

7. You make trips to the grocery store just because you are low on your supply

And you know the price differences and best deals in your surrounding area.

8. You instantly connect with other Diet Coke lovers

Finally, someone else understands!
