Do you drink Diet Coke or other diet drinks?

Sipping a cold diet coke and really enjoying it. I drink a couple per week.

Are you a fan?

I have a Pepsi max addiction. Has to be from a can.

AriettyHomily · 01/09/2020 18:57

No I went cold turkey on a low carb diet and can't stand Diet Coke now. If I'm going to have a fizzy drink I have Fanta or coke but the real sugar versions. I hardly ever have them though.

I used to drink three cans a day of Diet Coke.

WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo · 01/09/2020 18:57

I do.

Not because I think it's any healthier, I'm fully aware it's still a crap drink. But because I prefer the taste........which is odd as I can't stand sweetener and usually avoid diet drinks at all costs. I prefer coke zero too.

Interested in this thread?

Coke Zero isn't the same though! Though I really like the Vanilla Coke Zero.

Do any of you remember back circa 2004 they made Vanilla Diet Coke or am I raving?

Love Diet Coke
Has to be in a can and not plastic though (what is this alchemy?!)

I mainly drink fizzy since that was my only craving with baby number one.
Used to hate the stuff and now I live on fizzy water, tonic water and the occasional coke

I have to stop buying it on the weekly shop or I’d just drink it too fast

Rebelwithallthecause · 01/09/2020 18:58

I remember the horror that was vanilla Diet Coke Envy

Rebelwithallthecause · 01/09/2020 18:58

Someone bought me a mango Diet Coke the other month. That was horrendous too

toomuchtimes · 01/09/2020 18:58

Yes I have a Diet Coke (or two) everyday, occasionally vanilla.

CorianderLord · 01/09/2020 18:59

I prefer Pepsi max with lashings of ice. Yes I have it probably every other week in summer. Less so in winter

DianaT1969 · 01/09/2020 18:59

I regret that I used to drink diet coke regularly. I really was very cavalier with my health.

CorianderLord · 01/09/2020 19:02

I loved Vanilla Diet Coke too

enjoyingscience · 01/09/2020 19:02

I can always taste the sweeteners. Rank. Bloody love a full fat coke or a cherry coke as a treat though. Got to be ice cold, ideally on a lovely hot day (or when I’m hungover).

Diet Coke has no carbs though. It won't cause instability in your blood glucose levels.

After drinking (and loving) diet drinks for years I can no longer stand the sweet treacle that is a full fat fizzy pop.

In moderation diet drinks aren't bad for you.

Can't bring myself to try any of the new fruity versions. Though I toyed with lime for a while when it first came out.

Never, don't think I've had a Coke or diet coke for 15+ years. Can still remember the taste though!!

AbsentmindedWoman · 01/09/2020 19:07

So delicious. Kind of a cream soda vibe.

Not anymore I got really addicted to it a few years ago was drinking several cans a day. I hate the thought of it now. I’m sure it caused problems with my teeth.

nitgel · 01/09/2020 19:09

i eat rather alot of sugar free products and i doomed?

Cocolapew · 01/09/2020 19:10

I drink it from the can too and I'm not a fan of the new skinny cans.

oxrocker · 01/09/2020 19:10

Live on the stuff

uglyface · 01/09/2020 19:13

I have a can a day of Pepsi Max. It’s an addiction. I don’t drink tea or coffee though.

BlueJava · 01/09/2020 19:13

I love diet coke - ice cold with ice! But I limit myself to one fizzy drink a month (I always choose diet coke though!) as I've had real problems with my teeth in the past and don't want to risk it!

pinkbalconyrailing · 01/09/2020 19:14

very rarely a pepsi max ginger.
rarely = maybe 5x a year.
water or coffee/tea otherwise

MarshaBradyo · 01/09/2020 19:16

Not often. When I take the dc to lunch mostly.
