@@nathanlee1161 the actual fact about aspartame is it is only dangerous if you have like 20 cans of diet soda daily. and if you have that much obviously youre not healthy and deserve the ill effects. try water more often.
My weird story about Diet Coke with lime is that there was an odd can of it kicking around my house. I decided to try it one night. I liked it better than regular Diet Coke. My then-boyfriend was drinking - of all things - tawny port. I asked for a sip of it, after I'd had a sip of Diet Coke with lime, because I wanted to try a bit of this new bottle of his. The combination of the two flavors was wild! It made the port taste like raisins!
“Just for the taste of it.” Nostalgia Critic: No, no, no. That’s the LAST reason anyone drinks Diet Coke®. The first reason is because….well because Batman drinks it.
I absolutely love Tab. I was seriously disappointed when they discontinued it a few years ago. If they ever bring it back temporarily, I'll buy $10,000 worth.
I am in fact part of the Diet Coke cult. As a 90s baby this was literally the only soda kept in our house and I despise regular coke and whole Coke Zero is good it tastes a little too sweet to me. Nothing is better than an iced Diet Coke😍
yep every time i go to mcdonalds i get the double quarter pounder with cheese meal and a large diet coke there diet coke tastes the best and it helps cancel out the calories so im basically eating a diet meal instead of fast food which is great i use to drink regular coke but noticed i was getting fat and hit the 250 pound mark and couldnt see my feet so i switched to diet coke a month ago and i actually like it better then regular coke it just tastes really good i always keep at least 3 2 liters of diet coke in my fridge and a 24 pack of cans for when im on the go driving or whatever cuz i dont really like the taste of water and diet coke has no calories so its basically like drinking water
If only it really worked that way. I was a Diet Coke addict for years. I quit about 9 years ago. I miss having a drink I can get almost anywhere. i also miss the taste I remember but when I taste it now it doesnt taste like I remember. It sucks. There is no soda I can drink. They either taste like chemicals or syrup.
I only found your channel 2 days ago and I'm absolutely fascinated by well done sir 🍻 Growing up in England in the 80s and 90s the nostalgia is amazing !
Pretty sure MatPat from Game Theory has all these people beat with how much he consumes🤣 as he once said “if you cut me open I’ll just bleed Diet Coke”😂😂
Okay, things I've experienced firsthand. 1: I cannot stand the taste of artificial sweeteners, natural (stevia, etc.) included. And there should be a posted warning on everything that uses them. 2: My girl in my 20s was addicted to Tab. We went on a "vacation" to SoCal soon after they stopped selling it in NorCal. Conveniently she was able to fill (FILL!) her trunk with flats of Tab while we were there. I think there were a couple of 12ers in the back seat as well. 3: My buddy at work used to run the vending machines. The soda vend had two hoppers for Diet Coke. When I asked about it he said "Most of the office staff drink it and they get very angry when it runs out. It seems to be a thing with Diet Coke fans.".
I've watched Back To The Future so many times and I didn't know he was actually ordering for a soda, I just thought he just wanted to open a tab out of nowhere
I was a Coke drinker until my A1C got a little high. I switched to Diet Coke and after I got healthy again, I couldn’t handle the sweetness of regular coke anymore. 😂 If you’re friends with your local convenience store manager, they can talk to the Coke guy if the mix is a little weird and he can adjust it. Another big thing with the flavor is the dispenser tips getting cleaned regularly. As far as the aspartame, on the rare occasions I make myself give up soda, with regular coke I was a little tired, but with Diet Coke I felt like I had a flu for 4-5 days. Weight loss 😂😂😂😂 I have been at a healthy weight drinking both. I have been at an unhealthy weight drinking both. The only thing that affects my weight is how much I move my body.😂
same i drink diet coke because it cancels out the calories from other foods i eat yes i am fat but i havent gained much weight at all maybe 15 pounds this year but when i drank regular coke i was gaining weight twice as fast yes i eat a bad diet and a lot of fast food but diet coke has helped me a ton i have a thyroid problem and the medicine i take makes me gain weight so i cant lose weight but i can slow down weight gain i tryed switching to lean pockets instead of hot pockets and now i only eat hot pockets half the time and lean pockets the other half and its helped as well
@@Travybear1989Dude how can you be eating hot pockets and drinking coke and blame your weight gain on having a thyroid problem. Drink water and eat fresh food see how much weight you lose
I was a Diet Coke addict for years. I would drink 8-10 cans a day. It was bad. I quit about 8.5 years ago and I cannot go anywhere near it now. My husband still drinks it but not as much as I ever did. I feel much better not drinking it. I had bladder control issues from it plus the caffeine made my sleep horrible. It was terrible. People dont realize how bad it is. I tasted it a while ago and it’s horrible. It’s like pure chemical tasting. Ugh.
I've been insulin dependent for a number of years and ever since I first tasted Diet Coke I've thought it was nasty. It's easily my least favorite diet soda. Coke Zero is a nice alternative these days and I love the way it tastes.
The Tab issues was also Tab's saccharin content which was targeted as cancer causing agent. That wasn't sold after the fallout. So Coke switched to aspartame as the sweeter with Diet Coke.
When I first heard System of a Down, I saw their video for "Sugar." In the video, there was a brief image of a cherry pie, and it said, "Aspartame kills ". It stuck with me, and eventually, I learned that stuff was in Diet Coke. I stayed away from that stuff since, and eventually, cut down on soda altogether. If I do drink a soda nowadays, I'll have a Mexican coke.
I remember reading somewhere that Diet Coke was SO popular, that when Coke decided to change the formula to New Coke (which later became Coke II), it was based on the Diet Coke flavor profile, just with sugar.
30 years in the restaurant business here. Basically, I watch people "consume" for a full-time living. When people order a regular coke, they only have one, and sometimes they don't even finish the whole thing. When people order a DIET coke, they get a second EVERY SINGLE TIME, and often a 3rd or 4th. I don't know if it's because the fake sugar tells your body to crave real sugar, or maybe the person who has a consumption issue themselves which led them to believe drinking "diet" stuff would somehow make them lose weight but either way, it's just a fact of watching people consume for sooo many years that eventually it can't be ignored. The only way a "diet" anything is going to work is if you eat/drink it in the same portion size of the regular stuff. If you buy sugar free ice cream and eat the entire container in one sitting, the person eating a normal scoop of "regular" rocky road is going to have a better physique than you from now until the end of time.
I stopped drinking soda 11 yrs ago but i love flavored seltzer water. San pelligrino hibiscus blueberry is sooooo good but i drink polar seltzer most of the time. Its a New England brand.
Thats exactly what a secretary does-stands at windows ,staring at construction workers. Who ,in turn,work half naked,clean and look like body builders.
I was hooked on it at 9 years old. It took me 28 years to kick the habit and the aspartame addiction I had. It hurts the liver and now all sweeteners hurt my stomach. I now only drink mexican coke as a treat and get it rarely. I now drink sparkling water (with no artificial sweetners) and reg water as my main drinks. My a1c has drastically went down and my blood pressure went way down too.
I'm not a big soda drinker, I maybe drink one a day, and it'sI always diet. For the simple reason that aspartame just tastes a lot better in soda than regular sugar or corn syrup. It also doesn't seem to leave me as bloated.
Its hard to decided between Coke Zero and Pepsi Zero. But its also even harder to decide between Cherry Coke Zero and Wild Cherry Pepsi Zero. So I just get them all whenever I can.
@justgod613 Really? I usually buy whole milk anyway when I buy it. I always thought that the fat-free milk and 1% milk looked watered-down and disgusting!
I love Coke Zero. I have a sensitivity to real sugar and the various Zero products bring unhealthy max joy to my life. Sprite Zero is my favorite since it's caffeine free and, well, Sprite. Of course, water is best and unless Im feeling depressed, sodas are out. But hey, once it's been cloudy for six weeks straight, Coke Zero and Sprite Zero it is! 😂❤🎉
I was exclusively a Diet Pepsi drinker until about 6 years ago when they changed the sweetener which completely changed the taste and I hated it. I reluctantly switched to Diet Coke and haven’t looked back.
Some years ago, I dated a man from metro Minneapolis who was a Diet Coke addict. He would drink Diet Coke for breakfast, right before bed, throughout the day, etc. Always consumed from the same stainless steel car cup (filled with ice) and always from countless cans that he opened per day. He claimed that Diet Coke from a can was 'fizzier' than from a 2 litre bottle. He also claimed that as a recovering alcoholic, drinking Diet Coke was 'healthy' and 'better than booze' and 'nothing to worry about'. However, when actually keeping track of how much Diet Coke he drank, we discovered that he was consuming between three to four LITRES per day and every day. No, he didn't feel that was excessive. Yes, our relationship didn't last more than a month or so (no regrets dumping him!).

Grew up on Diet Rite as my older brother was a Type 1 diabetic from 5 years old. I don't think I tasted sugary soda until junior high, at someone else's house.
Diet Coke is definitely one of my vices. I have a fairly healthy lifestyle. But i absolutely love Diet Coke. On average a drink about 7 ice cold cans a day.
Correction. Coca Cola was originally a patent medicine which, along with other things, contained significant amounts of cocaine. That is NOT an urban myth. It happened. Look it up if you doubt me.
FYI: You may want to know that there are markets where Diet Cola was withdraw. In Poland Diet version is no longer in sell. We only have Cola Zero/Sprite Zero/Fanta Zero. For me it is ok, I prefer this taste, but some of my friends were quite sad about this shift.
One of those 1980s celebrity Diet Coke commercials featured WWF wrestler Sgt. Slaughter. I guess the idea of a big, fat, beer bellied rassler endorsing Diet Coke when his actual favorite beverage was probably an ice cold Budweiser was what Coca-Cola considered genius marketing.
I have a weird habit. I mix regular Coke half-half with Diet Coke. Regular is too sweet, and Diet is too bitter, but mixing them together is "just right". Just like Goldilocks.
I am a devoted and loyal member of the Diet Coke Cult. To me DC is superior in taste to Coke Zero, I don't generally like Coke Zero, it's too sweet. I'll drink it if that's what someone has, but deep down I am always longing for the silver can. I think I'll be drinking a can of Diet Coke on my deathbed.
The problem is in overseas markets Diet Coke is becoming harder to find, especially Asia! And contrary to popular belief many of us don’t drink it with the intention to lose weight, but rather we can’t have sugar or for me the taste of Diet Coke is bold, crisp, and refreshing without the sugar crash and syrupy stomach feel of Regular Coke! Don’t get me wrong, I love them both at the right time and place!
I've been a total slave to Diet Coke my whole life, and I really can't pinpoint why. I've loved it since I was a child. I always got one every time my family went out to eat (I was the only one who would ever order it too). I think my taste buds just respond really well to artificial sweeteners, because I also LOVE Splenda.
I remember before diet coke when drinking Tab I learned to add a splash of regular coke to the glass to make Tab taste much better or like "Real Coke". Like going to the movie getting a big cup of Tab & telling them to ad a shot of reg. coke to improve the taste. Did anyone else do that? Shalom
Diet Coke is the great thing in existence. It’s literally the second most popular and second highest selling soda in the world. The only diet soda in the top 10.
"not the kind of weight loss people wanted" That was savage af 🤣😆
I'm a Coke Zero guy now. I can't even go back to regular Coke, it's too sweet.
Drink Mexican coke that is sweetened with real sugar, instead of high fructose corn syrup or aspartame, both of which are poison
I love coke zero, but artificial sweeteners are hundreds to thousands of times sweeter than sugar
@@nathanlee1161 the actual fact about aspartame is it is only dangerous if you have like 20 cans of diet soda daily.

After drinking Coke Zero and Diet Coke for years, Coca-Cola Classic tastes like syrup.
We used to be part of the Diet Coke Cult. Then we left and joined the Coke Zero Cult. I just can’t go back to Diet Coke now 😂
Same, Diet Coke doesn't hit the spot anymore
I don’t blame you; CZ has a more profound taste to it.
I now drink the off brand zero sugar sodas. We have always drank off brand. With the zero sugars coming to market far better we have 100% switched.

Is it diet food worse for you than regular food? Because of all the stuff they have to take out they have to replace with worse things
I believe so. For instance, fat free foods had more sugar in them than full fat foods.
Another example is milk. The less fat content, the more carbs/sugar it has.

I have a weird habit. I mix regular Coke half-half with Diet Coke. Regular is too sweet, and Diet is too bitter, but mixing them together is "just right". Just like Goldilocks.
I'm Team Bring Back TaB!
A Diet Coke episode during the same week that Matt Pat retires. I see your tip of the hat weird history
I am a member of Team Diet Coke!
I drank Tab before Diet Coke was a thing. Now I'm Team Water-from-the-Tap and Team Black-Coffee.
I am a devoted and loyal member of the Diet Coke Cult. To me DC is superior in taste to Coke Zero, I don't generally like Coke Zero, it's too sweet. I'll drink it if that's what someone has, but deep down I am always longing for the silver can. I think I'll be drinking a can of Diet Coke on my deathbed.
At this point, I'm all about sparkling water. I see the Coke company has already bridged into that market.
The problem is in overseas markets Diet Coke is becoming harder to find, especially Asia! And contrary to popular belief many of us don’t drink it with the intention to lose weight, but rather we can’t have sugar or for me the taste of Diet Coke is bold, crisp, and refreshing without the sugar crash and syrupy stomach feel of Regular Coke! Don’t get me wrong, I love them both at the right time and place!
I've been a total slave to Diet Coke my whole life, and I really can't pinpoint why. I've loved it since I was a child. I always got one every time my family went out to eat (I was the only one who would ever order it too). I think my taste buds just respond really well to artificial sweeteners, because I also LOVE Splenda.
I remember before diet coke when drinking Tab I learned to add a splash of regular coke to the glass to make Tab taste much better or like "Real Coke". Like going to the movie getting a big cup of Tab & telling them to ad a shot of reg. coke to improve the taste. Did anyone else do that? Shalom
Diet Coke is the great thing in existence. It’s literally the second most popular and second highest selling soda in the world. The only diet soda in the top 10.
Thanks for this! 🥤 I still drink caffeine-free diet coke, every so often.
My top soda
Orange, Grape, Fruit punch, Ginger ale, Root Beer, Diet Coke, and Cream Soda.
