Diet Sodas, Aspartame and You!

[BrAinPaiNt]

I like diet drinks. Not because I am worried about my weight or a diet freak. I am fat and I am ok with that.

What I like about them is that they normally do not go flat as fast as the regular drinks.

Get a bottle of regular Coke and a bottle of diet. Open each bottle take a few drinks, put the lid back on.

Live them sitting out for the rest of the day or even over night. Then try them again. Most times the regular coke will be flat, and in turn too sweet, however the diet coke will taste the same and many times will not be flat, or completely flat.

I usually drink diet rite tangerine at home. I will leave a can out over night and it is still fresh in the morning. So I don't waste as much because once a drink goes flat I just don't like to drink it.

As far as what is good or bad for you, If I worried about everything that is bad for you concerning foods or non alcohol beverages I would never enjoy anything.

Also concerning if this contains a chemical that converts to phermaldrihyde within the stomach. Well while in Korea I did go to bars and drink Soju which was said to contain phermaldrihyde ....never did anything other than get me drunk and I would imagine that diet drinks do not have enough to hurt you unless you consumed large doses for many years...but who knows.

I mainly drink them because they do not go flat, or it takes a long time before they do and I like the taste of my diet rite tangerine...they also seem to have more of a bite to them in the flavor if that makes sense.

If you seen my toenails, you would never ask that question. You would beg me to go and get pedicure done as I look like I have Hobbit feet.:laugh2:

Also the fancy pants line is funny because I have my email at work set up so it plays a line from the Army of Darkness where it says....Well Hello Mr Fancy Pants. :laugh2:

Bruce Campbell fan, eh? Have you seen "My Name is Bruce" yet? Worth the money or waste of time. I'll drink a diet soda while I'm there!

Yes I like the evil dead movies and Bubba Hotep or whatever the name of that movie was. Have not seen the My Name is Bruce yet....Years ago I watched they Call me Bruce but that was not a Campbell movie.

Coke Zero tastes pretty similar to real coke.

Not even close to me.

Diet Sodas give me major gas. And the gas comes out smelling like burnt rubber (like when you spin your tires).

Way to much information.

I kicked the habit about a year ago by drinking lots of green tea. It compensated for the caffeine fix. Then I gradually drank less and less tea.

I have seen a lot of very bad movies and Bubba Hotep is in the top 5. What a piece. :laugh2:

I have tried it and don't care for it either mainly because of the no caffeine thing. :laugh2:

Very Low budget but it is one of those B type movies that you just kind of love because it is so silly.

I made it through about 3/4ths of it and left the room or fell alseep.

I hate Diet anything, it always leaves an after taste.

I love cokes of any kind. I give them up every year for lent, and have a head ache for two days, then its over. I just like cokes for meals and such because you don't have other options at most restaraunts besides water.

If real Coke were a 1 and Diet Coke were a 10, I'd say Coke Zero is about a 4.
