calories over chemicals for me
How about both? As horrifying as it is, I’ve been drinking Diet Coke since I was a kid, and regular coke tastes like chugging corn syrup to me. I’ll take a nice cold DC any day of the week, only bring it out with a giant veggie burger and huge serving of yam fries with extra aioli plz.
I don’t like Diet Coke but I love Coke Zero. I don’t understand it! Also I will also take a veggie burger (or a portobello mushroom burger, YUM) with yam fries. I’ve never had yam fries!
Coke Zero has a different sweetener in it that more accurately mimics the more complex flavour of sugar.
From Wikipedia:
[Coke Zero] is primarily marketed towards young adult males and has even been nicknamed “Bloke Coke”… In the U.S., advertising has been tailored to its targeted market by describing the drink as “calorie-free” rather than “diet”, since young adult males are said to associate diet drinks with women.
Yeah, also that. I didn’t even touch on it because it makes me rant and I can’t be bothered right now.
I drink it when I feel like a softdrink because of my T1D, it really sucks that I have to wade the gross diet waters for sugar free drinks and foods :(
