i'm sure noone cares.... (jm)

 I agree with you whole heartedly.  I mean, if you want to be healthy, have a drink of water.  Or fruit juice.  But if you want a drink of coke... have a drink of real, "nice" coke.

AMEN!!

Oh AND - ordering a "diet" drink with a SUPER SIZE meal at a fast food place does NOT magically make the meal healthy. Ever heard of salad??!!!

Gah! 

ROFL!!!

 Yes it does, tried some at a family get together a few weeks back since all they had was diet, and it was so nasty I just went with plain water.  Funny thing is that diet sodas are probably worse for your than the regular stuff.  Sure they have less sugar, but they make up for it with adding other bad chemicals like Aspartame.

Here here!!  I couldn't agree more.  DH drinks Coke Zero.    I am with you, when I am thirsty I drink water.  If I want a Coke then I drink a coke.  I only drink 1 a week rather than switch to diet pop.

it's been raining hard core since late afternoon and i ran out of stuff to drink. the BF bought these coke zero the other day. YUCK. oh well, what did i expect. he likes diet coke as well... pfft...

Yes, yes it does.  Waaayyy nastier than diet IMHO.... 

Ugh... did it leave a bad aftertaste too?? Those are always the worst!!

Yep, it's gross.  I drink diet drinks (can't have the sugar) but Coke Zero is AWFUL!

Hmm.  I haven't tried the regular Coke Zero, but I really like the Cherry Coke Zero...  I haven't been a "regular" pop drinker for years, so maybe I don't know what I'm missing?  I think that Cherry Coke Zero tastes better than Diet Coke.
