Diet Coke drove me to coffee...

Coffee is not an option, but I can easily imagine the process!

Try Coke Zero or the Diet Coke with Splenda. They both taste better than the regular Diet Coke.

I've heard that about the Splenda, but I'm looking for a drink I can be reasonably sure of getting wherever I go.

Maybe I'll just do the Splenda version when possible, and the non-Splenda the rest of the time.

That one problem with the Splenda version. The other problem I have is it only comes in cans or 2L bottles. I keep asking for the 20oz but I guess it's not popular enough yet.

Oh man. Diet Coke is my elixir. I would be so sad without it!

(Hi! I friended you because of Slacktivist. I rarely post there, but I read it all the time. And you are cool.)

Why diet? It still has caffeine.

That's why I'm drinking it, I want the morning caffeine. But every morning when I used to look forward to my first Coke, I look at the Diet Coke with a faint hint of resignation.

It really doesn't taste bad... just a little odd. But it's not the comfort drink that a Coke was.

Ah, I get it now. I thought you were looking for something sans caffeine. My mistake.

Yeah, diet is odd. I think it's the aftertaste. I recently tried Diet Caffeine-Free Dr. Pepper and actually like it. If you're a Pepper fan, maybe you should try the Diet (with caffeine).
