Not funny.

Diet Coke doesn't make me crash. If anything, Coke does.

Who said I was being funny? It's a marketting scheme, if it says it's diet then people will drink it more because they feel it will not make them as fat as normal coke does. Who has actually heard of someone getting fat off of coke anyway?

Actually, that's untrue. The only time I have ever heard somebody say that is when they were joking.

It's less about getting yourself skinny, and more about being able to drink pop/soda/coke or whatever you call it in your region in a healthy way without loading on the calories. In other words, it's not about nutritional value, and more about taste.

People are concerned about calories because if you go to McDonald's or something often, you'll find yourself getting *too many* calories (depending on your age and what you do, you should be getting 1500 to 3000 a day). So, drinking diet pop allows you to get the taste without the excess energy. So, in the short-term, diet pop is more healthy.

However, in the long-term, diet pop contains so many chemicals you'll pretty much die sooner; however, the same can be said for normal pop, although you probably won't die *as* soon.

On that ominous note, I'd recommend sticking to healthy, organic foods! Non-processed food (the stuff you get from your grandma or mom) is a dozen times better than the stuff you get straight from Zehrs (or whatever grocery stores you have where you come from).

at camp
you could buy soda
but only diet
they must think it wont make kids fat any more than the real stuff
which is untrue

i drink it because i love the smell of aspartame in the morning

I drink OJ now. OJ is cool.

It was in New Scientist.

a lot of things can

one more on the list isnt that big of a deal

I drink Diet Coke mainly, if I DO drink it, because it tastes better for me. Although, anything meant for diets made by Pepsi tastes TERRIBLE.

I drink regular coke (actually Dr. Pepper 95% of the time) about half the time, and Coke Zero (because that is what is around the house most of the time, Dad loves the stuff) half the time.

I don't worry about drinking Coke Zero. I get alot of sugar and calories from other stuff I eat and drink. xD

Remember, it's NOT giving you Type 1. It gives you Type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 is all insulin stopped.
Type 2 is wrong insulin.

EXAMPLE:

TYPE 1:
Scout: Medic!
*Medic doesn't show up*

Scout: Need a dispenser here!
*Engineer doesn't show up*

TYPE 2:
Scout: Medic!
*Sniper shows up*

Scout: Need a dispenser here.
*Engineer builds sentry*

(This is what my brother uses. He has Type 1.)

Diet soda has aspartame, which if you drink enough of, you'll die.

Sorry young scratchers for saying that.

So THAT'S why it kills you!
