      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!

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
