About Diet Coke



Since I avoid sweet drinks, carbonated drinks, and cold drinks, one soda pop seems the same as all the others to me. People who drink soda pop would consider that sacrilege, since everyone has their favorite. Apparently, Diet Coke is particularly popular. Weird History Food explains why by going through the entire history of soda, especially diet sodas. The upshot is that a product's name is more crucial than what's in it.

Picture adverts work !

I scrolled through here before and saw that can and went directly to my fridge ... where I pulled out my first can of the day of sugar free cola ... with Jack Daniels 7% Tennessee whiskey of course.

Went and sat outside, we are just into autumn here, the nights have got cold, the cats and I hunker under an electric blanket at night already, but those crystal clear nights (the international space station is as easy to see as a spider on a window) lead into clear blue skies the next day, and the sun, only here for 12 hours rather than the summer's 15, is still strong and warms the day, lol, I think I may have burnt my shoulders a bit, mucking around with the garden and the old Swedish cars in 25 degree heat (I don't know the F value offhand, but it is good practise for any Americans on here who still use the old school and decrepit ways of measuring things -- the future IS coming !)

Just by the by, I used to drink Budweiser beer, but when they started with the weird adverts showboating those of weird to me sexual preferences I quit and went to JD's instead.

Not judging, but prefer the weirdness to be kept in the cupboard, as it were.
