To think that Tesco's should be able to get hold of 2 lt bottles of Diet Coke?

[LovesBeingWearingSkinnyJeans]

Went to tescos on Sunday and no 2nd bottles of diet coke in stock, it's quite a big one so was very surprised even with an offer on. Fast forward to tonight and I have just got back and they still do not have any.

So as there was no-one queuing at customer services thought I would ask why (yes I'm that sad), she double checked her computer, and it said no unavailable. She went and phoned a friend asked someone else and mystery solved....they've not been sent any. Although she did suggest I went to another supermarket and that would tell me if it were just them or everyone.

AIBU to think they can stock it within a week and not tell me to go to another supermarket?

Diet Coke is foul so yes, YABU!

they might have fallen out again

Fallen out? You mean my diet coke is being held to ransom

Think of your bone density LovesBeingWearingSkinnyJeans and step away from the fizzy shit...unless it's going into a well deserved, vodka with ice and a slice, of course

loves it is poison, sadly. Look on Mysupermarket and see if any others have it on offer; that's what I usually do.

Or drink squash instead

Tis not worth them stocking it since I stopped drinking it :)

It's bad stuff really but delicious :(

I don't drink anywhere as much as I used too but do like one glass in the evening. Dh guzzles the rest.

Anyway I wisely invested tge £4.50 in two very nice bottle of cider. Sound very posh don't I

Anyway the elderflower and line Kopparberg is very nice and I might drink the strawberry and line one as well

How much do you lot get through a day?

None, now.

Previously I could sink a litre a day, possibly more.

I still miss it. Calorie free and delicious.

Me a glass a day now, sometimes don't even finish tgat.

What the actual fuck - is this a spoof thread or a thread about a thread?

I didn't think it was either.

I used to be addicted to it. I mean a serious addiction as in getting through two bottles a day. My brother was too. When Iceland started doing home delivery he used to order in 60 bottles of diet coke and have them deliver it. Bet they loved him!

Tastes like cack in Sweden tho so now I'm on anything I can get my hands on frankly.

you are not being unreasonable imo. Any shop is being hugely stupid to not have it in stock and big companies like Tesco can have it moved from one store to another in the blink of an eye.

Ask for the manager and tell them how inconvenient it is to travel to another store and would they please organise for some to be delivered for free?

You don't know til you try.

I'm an addict too
Tesco are doing 8 cans for less than £2 at the moment. Perfect for in the car.

Winkly One sip made me blow up like the Hindenburg and as I was cheap 'n' cheerful even back in the 80's (was all only cans then) and as you couldn't close a can I never bought the damn stuff...

My bones are probably still heading for osteoporosis, fizzy or no, but at least I was never an addict

Panda Cola was pretty shite the lowest of the low as far as I can remember

Me and DP could get through 6 litres a day, but since the price went up 20p a bottle, I refuse. My shopping bill per week has dropped. Considerably...

How has anyone on this thread got a tooth left in their head with all this fizzy shite they're drinking?

It's diet, Compos, no sugar. But I am a bit worried; I drink about 2 litres a day and wasn't aware that was a bad thing

I'm ashamed to say I only like the full fat version, the diet stuff has a weird taste to me. On the subject of Coke though I've always wondered why they don't make a caffeine free version (apart from the diet stuff) I can't drink it after 9 at night.

Well I can tell you why it's a bad thing since I did it myself:

Your skin goes horribly dry or pasty
You're permanently semi dehydrated despite the amount of water in the coke
If you get spots they never truly go away for the above reasons
Your concentration is affected
You can feel bloated a lot of the time
It can make you constipated or have irregular movements

I had terrible spots for two years and went to the doctor for help with it. He prescribed something called Eumobase or something like that and it did absolutely nothing.

Soon as I stopped binging on diet coke and having juice instead my spots went away and never came back.

Mmmmm, lovely Coke. I know it's filthy disgusting shit but a cold can straight from the fridge = bliss.
£1.92 for 8 cans in Tesco? Rude not to.

They do have a caffeine free full sugar coke... or maybe they stopped making it?

I tried the caffeine free diet coke for the reasons I stated above and it just didn't taste as refreshing although I could drink it.

Sugar or no sugar, the acid will still bugger up your choppers.

I gave up completely last year, it as awful. But my skin improved, I lost weight and bizarrely I always used to suffer terrible chapped lips but now they are fine. I also noticed my sleep pattern greatly improved.
