- burtonbe, on 10/11/2007, -3/+101I used to drink 4-6 sodas a day (Pepsi). I now have kicked the habit, and only drink a soda maybe once or twice a month (and it's usually a Jones soda, not Pepsi).
I feel so much more healthy all around. I guess I never realized just how bad all the soda was making me feel. Now if I (try to) drink a Mountain Dew, etc, I literally feel sick to my stomach. - fluidfoundation, on 10/11/2007, -2/+83When will people learn that if you replace that many cokes with beers you wont care how fat your ass is.
- Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -6/+74""You know when Amanda shows up to work. You can hear it in the Coke.""
lolz!
what a crack whore. - silverchrysalis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+67it was bone marrow
- HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -0/+63Diet Coke has what plants crave.
- Hepburn82, on 10/11/2007, -1/+55She must have some awesome belches.
- signal15, on 10/11/2007, -4/+51I drank 4-6 cups of coffee a day, a couple of Red Bulls, and 12 cans of Dew. Then I got heart palpitations.
I haven't had a drop of caffeine for 6 years, and giving up soda was the best thing I've ever done. I can actually get out of bed in the morning, I don't feel sluggish if I haven't had my caffeine, and trips to the dentist are easy. Give it up. After a month you'll never go back. If you need something carbonated, just get a case of Peligrino at Costco for $10. - illahtech, on 10/11/2007, -1/+47Haha at the Coke corporate commentary:
"'Great taste. No calories. Wholesome ingredients. How could you drink too much?' said Diana Garza, the communications director of Coca-Cola North America." - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+48aspartame is pretty nasty *****, but i guess it wont rot your teeth
- retral, on 10/11/2007, -3/+45I'll usually have around 2-3 pepsi cans a day.. though I've had 4-5 on a long weekend day.
Needless to say, I need to stop : Any liquid that's brown and acidic shouldn't be consumed that regularly. - signal15, on 10/11/2007, -2/+39It may not have sugar, but it has phosphoric acid.

- lemon67, on 10/11/2007, -3/+36... no sugar
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33As soon as there's a brand of chemical waste with a catchy jingle and slick commercials, I'll switch.
- tvblogcan, on 10/11/2007, -11/+42Sorry wait.. 12 cans is classed as lot? If so then I am screwed, I drink easily 4l a day and I would be drinking more if I could afford it. Mind you I do get headaches all the time and more so stabbing pains in my chest, and I am only 17!
- Neiby, on 10/11/2007, -4/+31And now you drink a 2 liter of Diet Coke a day? Good luck with that aspartame poisoning.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/11/2007, -4/+31Diet and caffeine free? Why don't you just drink a vat of chemical waste?
- Salgat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26"Great taste. No calories. Wholesome ingredients. How could you drink too much?" said Diana Garza, the communications director of Coca-Cola North America.
Reminds me of what the tobacco industry tried doing in the 60s and 70s - chicken101, on 10/11/2007, -5/+30"Great taste. No calories. Wholesome ingredients. How could you drink too much?" said Diana Garza, the communications director of Coca-Cola North America."
Yeah, aspartame is totally "wholesome". Just like splenda is "made from sugar". I don't suppose people realize that replacing two oxygen atoms in the sugar with chlorine makes it_not_sugar. - saleem, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26for some reason, that's actually disgusting. probably because it makes us think of how much you weighed that you could lose 15 pounds in a week just from switching to diet coke.
- Magillicutti, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24and go back to sleep?
- IllBeBack, on 10/11/2007, -4/+27Soda of any kind is bad for you. Stop drinking it and see how much better you feel after even just three or four days.
Water FTW! - skankyBacon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21That was definitely the most shocking part of the article:
"The Coca-Cola Company said it sees nothing wrong with drinking lots of Diet Coke."
WHAAAAT?! - kidcoconut, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20And wicked piss.
- DietMountainDew, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16You don't need teeth, that is what dentures are for!
(And I don't ever want to hear a Digg user say "You taste much better.") :-/ - SenatorPenguin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Along with wholesome potassium benzoate, wholesome phosphoric acid, wholesome citric acid, and wholesome caramel color.
- arenas46, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16Your story seems to just stop....whatever happened to her?
- Nick22, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Uhh..mountain dew is nothing like lemonade...
- Magillicutti, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14I tried to quit smoking and drinking soda at the same time and found that I craved the caffeine ten times more than the cigarettes.
- 0x0000ff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16"If anything goes wrong, I will just grab a diet soda and it's all better."
WTF!? - DietMountainDew, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17She should be drinking diet mountain dew.
Sorry, Digg Down. - helinism, on 10/11/2007, -15/+28Im surprised she has any teeth left!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -10/+23***** Soda!... Start your day with something more healthy and less addicting! ....A NICE FAT BLUNT!
- Sambone67, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13I'm doing that right now. I feel your pain...
- catfish182, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12"I really like the fizzy of the diet soda. I really like the coldness and the taste and the sweetness," she said. "If anything goes wrong, I will just grab a diet soda and it's all better.
Go on Dr Phil and get it over with for christ's sake - HanSolo69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12"Great taste. No calories. Wholesome ingredients. How could you drink too much?" said Diana Garza, the communications director of Coca-Cola North America.
now that's good PR. - Magillicutti, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12No matter how moderate of a smoker I am, if I wake up to that, I'm going back to sleep.
- inhaler, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12When I was 16, I dated this girl who drank roughly 8 diet cokes aday (I think she was 15 at the time). I remember her jokingly say, "My doctor says I won't make it to 20 if I keep drinking this stuff." At which point I asked her why she wasn't concerned with that.
- dorkusmalorkus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Splenda is not aspartame. It's sucralose.
- vanbacon, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14All in moderation. Anything if taken to much can do damage to your body.
I myself don't like pepsi or any pepsi product I find them to acidic. I do enjoy Coca Cola still along with Dr pepper and Root beer. - Moosington, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Wait, are you trying to say that Diet Coke has no caffeine? If that's the case, you need to read the "nutrition" facts a little more closely. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make Caffeine Free Diet Coke if there was none to begin with. Digg me down if I am taking this out of context.
edit: djsyndrome beat me to it. - tgunner, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10No one get Mentos anywhere near her!
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Um, there *is* caffeine in Diet Coke. Lots of it.
- Bancho, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Per the Pastafarian doctrines, Global Warming and Pirates share an inverse relationship.
- Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I normally say "meh" to the scaremongery of artificial sweeteners, only because the threshold value set by health organizations is really high. Like 4 litres per day or so, when taking the typical aspartame concentration into account. (yes, I calculated on this for a Wikipedia article because I was interested and strangely had a hard time finding the info) BUT... When it's about 12 diet cokes a day, you're really starting to rack up some amounts, especially if making it a habit. :-S
Another thing is that although artificial sweeteners won't directly cause harm to your teeth (at least not widely documented), the problem with Coke isn't really the sugar, but the acidic nature, and that still holds true with Diet Coke, Coke Zero, or pretty much whatever-Coke.
Of course, I'm not talking of ACID acids, like in this Snopes article:
http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/acid.asp
It's not harmful to drink, but the problem is about excessive long term usage. It can still be avoided too if being more sensible about it, so it's not really a "dangerous" acid. Here's a good page about this: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_effect_does_Coca_Cola_have_on_teeth - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I will take bigger gulps then.
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Forget for a moment what it's doing to this woman's body - how much does the habit *cost*? If a case is four bucks, she's downing almost $1,500 a year of the stuff.
- Magillicutti, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7You do taste much better.
But doesn't your citric acid rot my teeth faster? - Sambone67, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9yup, it's traditional for titles but not for descriptions.
- TaintBrush, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Did she ever let you touch her boobs? That's the important thing.
