@@NathanALee 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.
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 !
“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 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.
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!
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.
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 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.😂
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.
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'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.
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.
With artificial sweeteners you can trick your taste buds, but you cannot trick your body. Your digestive system knows there's nothing in sugar free drinks nutrition wise, it expected sugar, now it demands it. Which quickly leads to reaching for a strong source of sugar.
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'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
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.
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.
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 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 love elton john he has always been an idol of mine sense i was a kid cuz he is a proud member of the lgbtq+ community i would love to meet him some day and get a picture with him he is one of my favorite people and a good example to all queer and gender fluid kids who suffer from bullysing by cisgendered people i hope that one day all trans kids will be able to get the help they need be it hormones or top or bottom surgery i was born female but identify as they them but present as male my first partner was a CIS female but ive been dating a MtF who transitioned at the age of 43 and im 19 and ive been having PiV intercourse for two months and its been kind of weird for me but she doesnt want to get bottom surgery but has had top surgery with breast implants and has been on estrogen therapy for 2 years now so she presents feminine i wish she would get bottom surgery tho and would support me getting bottom surgery as well but she wants me to keep my vagina so we can have kids but idk if i want kids she already got me pregnant but i havent told her yet i am due in 6 months and i am afraid but she has been fisting me so i feel i am loosed up enough to not have problems giving birth
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.
@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 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
A few nitpicks: Diet Coke was developed before Nutrasweet was approved. It had to work as a saccharin sweetened drink first, and to get this to work, Coke just kept tweaking a diet cola-ish formula until they found something that tasted pretty good with the least amount of complaints that people had about diet sodas of that era. The fact that it didn't taste anything like Coke Proper was not a concern, it was not the goal. Aspartame had been around for over a decade though and they had to been considering how well this drink would work with it whenever it finally got green-lit by the FDA. And don't forget the whole (sugary) New Coke fiasco. That new formula? An offshoot of Diet Coke experimentation, just with fructose.
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.
I remember when we still had Diet Coke in the Philippines up to the early 2000s Diet Coke disappeared over time and all we have now is Coke Zero. I don't see Diet Coke here anymore
I have 128 OZ mug it's huge, I fill it with 4 or 5 cans of Diet coke at a time,and I refil the mug once or twice a day, meaning I drink between 8 and 15cansof Diet coke a day. I haven't drank water in years.
"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
@@NathanALee 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.
Same dude. Same
After drinking Coke Zero and Diet Coke for years, Coca-Cola Classic tastes like syrup.
I recently had a Coke Zero for the first time. i was surprised how good it tasted. I'm not a big soda drinker but this was good.
Yeah Coke Zero is terrific, although I miss the prior recipe. Funnily enough, I'm drinking a Cherry Coke Zero right now watching this video

Finished my diet coke right before I opened the video and now I wish I had another one.
So i once heard that New Coke from the 80s was just the Diet Coke formula but using HFCS as a sweetner.
Stacker 2 is a diet product, can you cover that one day?
A few nitpicks: Diet Coke was developed before Nutrasweet was approved. It had to work as a saccharin sweetened drink first, and to get this to work, Coke just kept tweaking a diet cola-ish formula until they found something that tasted pretty good with the least amount of complaints that people had about diet sodas of that era. The fact that it didn't taste anything like Coke Proper was not a concern, it was not the goal. Aspartame had been around for over a decade though and they had to been considering how well this drink would work with it whenever it finally got green-lit by the FDA.
And don't forget the whole (sugary) New Coke fiasco. That new formula? An offshoot of Diet Coke experimentation, just with fructose.
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.
At this point, I'm all about sparkling water. I see the Coke company has already bridged into that market.
diet coke is revolting, vanilla coke zero is where its at!
The music is a bit to loud this time

(sees several such comments and walks back out, nodding approvingly)
Was a diet coke addict for many years, haven't touched one past year and a half. All water now, stay hydrated.

Bought my first 12 pack of reg coke in months. I'm sick to my stomach. I don't think I can drink soda any more.
I remember when we still had Diet Coke in the Philippines up to the early 2000s
Diet Coke disappeared over time and all we have now is Coke Zero. I don't see Diet Coke here anymore
I grew up on tab
I have 128 OZ mug it's huge, I fill it with 4 or 5 cans of Diet coke at a time,and I refil the mug once or twice a day, meaning I drink between 8 and 15cansof Diet coke a day. I haven't drank water in years.
