If I paid for a diet coke and got cherry instead, someone would get slapped. Because us diet coke drinkers are less on edge.

I always hate that there's 16 kinds of regular pop but only 1 diet. It's a very bad ratio. Sucks being diabetic.

[–]daychilde 1 point2 points ago

All soda expires, but diet sodas have a shorted shelf life because of the artificial sweetners.

They do NOT taste good after that date.

[–]ArmandoPenblade 0 points1 point ago

THIS.

I grew up on Diet Coke because my dad couldn't drink regular coke--gave him headaches. It was all I drank until I started going to friend's houses as a young kid, and by then, regular sodas of all sorts were way too sugary tasting for me.

Despite this, I am still pre-diabetic. Life's a bitch :(

Things are getting better of late, at least in my part of the country. Many of the fast food chains stock a 2nd diet flavor. (Taco Bell has Diet Mountain Dew; Chick-fil-A & Arby's have Diet Dr. Pepper.) Vending machines near Kroger's and Wal-Mart usually have 2-3 flavors of the store brand. (And Kroger's has almost 12 diet flavors for said brand.) Even my "boutique" grocery across the street stocks about 6 varieties of diet soda at the sale price at all times.

One gripe I do have is that some places waste the 2nd diet variety on "Caffeine Free Diet Cola," which strikes me as a waste. /-:

Isn't there diet coke with lime? edit: I searched google images and there appears to be many varieties of diet colas...cherry, vanilla, cherry vanilla, etc.

[–]Buckwheat469 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There is a number of diets, but these can be hard to find in stores. For instance there was diet Surge, which was pretty good by the way, but stores took it out of market because it didn't sell enough. Quiznos is the only fast food chain I've found which does Diet Mt. Dew. Jones Soda has a diet coke version and a diet cream soda (also some others online), but try to find those in a store.

It would be nice if all soft drinks required a diet version along side the regular version, but that isn't available for us. Diabetics and others who can't drink regular sodas have to deal with the same bland flavors all the time, especially if we go out to eat.

If I remember correctly it is basically mountain dew with citrus flavors, namely pineapple added into the mix. It's bomb.

I also find mountain dew to be plain disgusting, but the diet mountain dew is actually halfway decent.

No offense, but shouldn't you be drinking water?

[–]Buckwheat469 -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No. We can drink anything without sugar or less than 20 calories (free foods). Artificial sweeteners don't count as sugar because they can't be digested by your body.

I tend to drink Crystal Light singles while at work to avoid the caffeine, but that was a recent change. I used to drink 24+ Diet Mt. Dews in one week. When I'm at home I drink whatever is available.

Some offense was taken, but I wanted to be civil. No offense, shouldn't you be drinking water?

[–]jedberg 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No offense, shouldn't you be drinking water?

Actually, I drink exclusively water, since all of my ancestors have gotten diabetes, in large part I suspect from their soda intake. :)

Artificial sweeteners don't count as sugar because they can't be digested by your body.

I'm aware of that, but I'm also aware of the fact that diabetes is often (not always) caused by bad eating habits, and a really good place to start is to cut out the sodas, even the diet ones. At least, that is what all the doctors have told my parents.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Diet coke is almost completely water. From a pure calorie stand point you can drink that stuff by the cement truck and not gain any weight. Whether or not artificial sweetener is good for you is a completely different story, but high diet soda intake isn't bad at all.

[–]thephotoman 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Also, whether or not artificial sweetner causes you to want to eat more is another story as well.

[–]jeblis 0 points1 point ago

it's water or unsweetened tea for me. (or alcohol) I just wish you could get unsweetened tea in the convenience stores.

[–]warmpita 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I quit soda all together and drank water and unsweetened tea which, like diet cola, becomes great tasting after you drink it for a while. I refuse to drink diet colas anymore. Also, when I stopped drinking soda I lost 20 lbs and this is just from not drinking soda, no exercise or anything.

[–]ToasterforHire 0 points1 point ago

Fucking hell yes! Red Diamond makes an unsweet variety of tea, you can sometimes find it in gas stations and the like. Your best bet is to check any import or asian food stored for Ito-En or Chin Chin or other often-imported brands that offer unsweetened green tea. For sugar-containing varieties I've found that Fuze's Green/Black doesn't taste horribly sugary (and does not contain HFCS). A nice caffeine-free tea for the summer is Peppermint tea; make a pitcher of it and stick it in your fridge. Cool delicious minty-ness is awesome in the hot summer!

Is 1 person out of 16 diabetic?

[–]Buckwheat469 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

1 out of 16 people is 6% of the population. Diabetics (type 1 and 2) compose ~10% and higher for older generations (23.1% for > 60 years old).

To answer your question, yes, and more.

http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/DM/PUBS/statistics/#allages

Just to add, you have to consider the prevalence of obesity in the US. This increases the number of type 2 diabetics and will make the elderly diabetic population rise as these younger obese people get older because their pancreas is already over stressed.

EDIT: That came off wrong. I mean healthy because I don't drink sugar-water even though I could, not healthy because I'm not diabetic.

Coke and grenadine, however, is the best of all.

[–]DLWormwood 11 points12 points ago

Agreed. And I prefer Pepsi when flavored straight.

For some reason, Coke is more amenable to flavoring (cherry, lime, vanilla, etc.) than Pepsi is. Go fig...

[–]demented_pants 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This.

Additionally, though I prefer the American Pepsi, I prefer Coke from other countries (IE, without the HFCS) to Pepsi without the HFCS.

[–]deaathleopards 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Where I live, companies use real sugar. Not that HFCS. Coke with real sugar shits all over pepsi. Though, I like pepsi ads more.

[–]Kuiper 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've always thought that Pepsi was a lot like Coke but with twice as much sugar. Since Coke has a more subtle flavor, it makes sense that it would be more conducive to added flavors.

Heh, I actually was thinking about that as I posted. To be honest, I mix diet and regular from the fountain machine when I get self serve soda. I just felt like being a dick.

I worked at a place where, for a few years, our restocker was a blind man. He'd come in with his seeing eye dog once or twice a week. Fit guy, in his early forties. He'd tether up the dog, unlock the supply room, and get to work.

Somehow, we never really had any problems, although he did once ask me what a displayed price was on a price of batteries, and realized he had the machine set wrong, losing a dollar on each pack.

Then one day he was gone. Heart attack in the middle of the night. Never really chatted with the vending machine guys after that. The guy wasn't exactly a friend, but I'd talked with him more than a few times.

And I missed the dog. Service dogs rule.

Soft drinks are bad for your health, in large quantities, folks.

coca cola is palatable, although your teeth get that feeling as if they were dipped in acid right after drinking one.

Cherry coke is okay, same after effects, but diet coke tastes plain awful. Why would anyone drink that stuff? I know there are some that are either diabetic, or obese,etc. But damm that stuff is plain nasty.

I got kidney stones when i was in my early 20's and my urologist mentioned that coke was the main culprit, so i kicked the habit.

Now i try a coke and get the feeling that i'm downing a 5lb bag of sugared water (yes, i know in the states coke has no sugar in it, but that syrup stuff) with some kind of acid additive. gross

Maybe some people drink it because they don't think it tastes awful? Should everyone have exactly the same tastes as you? My sister can't tell the difference between diet and regular, so she drinks diet. I can't understand it, but then she can't understand how I enjoy the taste of whiskey, so I accept that people are different.

I didn't say everyone should share my tastes, i believe i was making an opinion. If your sister can't tell the difference then more power to her.

I just can't stomach the stuff. That is all

HFCS is pretty much the same as sugar, but it is cheaper, tastes worse, and may have more adverse health affects.

I used to love Diet Coke for years and years and years, and couldn't stomach regular Coke. Then I stopped drinking it and now I can't stand it anymore (or any sugary drink, for that matter).

Water, tea, or coffee tastes so much better than soda.

Somewhat unrelated, but wheres that machine at? Thats an interesting looking bottle/can.

Put a couple of beers in the machine, and all is forgiven.
