Or the other end of the spectrum that is becoming increasingly popular, a mostly Millenial phenomena.

Taking steroids, claiming it's all boiled chicken and protein drinks.

Good song is all is as (sic) I'm saying.

WZ ftw. Lon Chaney walking and all that.

Hindu Love Gods.

Also, Little Village (no WZ, but also a great one-time supergroup).

It was acceptable in the 80's

What makes you believe this? I don't think it has ever been marketed as a weight loss drink. Would you prefer if they only bought the regular Coke?

No, but it always strikes me as odd when you see twenty stone/twenty five stone people in the supermarket with their trolley filled with shed loads of "Diet" fizzy drinks . . .

That's all.

I think some people may have developed a preference in taste for them over the regular ones so might not be related to the diet factor at all. I could be wrong, though, and they might genuinely see it as a conscious effort to control calories while still being able to indulge and get a sugary fix.

How do they push the trollies if they're made of stone?

If I'm in the mood for a Coke, I buy a diet one as well. Just don't like the taste of the full sugar one.

I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I buy one just in case I'm providing some apoplectic young neckbeard with ammo for another gripes thread #24512.

Diet Coke genuinely has significantly less calories than Coke. So its very logical in a weight conscientious decision. I drink it because I like the taste and why drink my calories?

TerrorFirmer · 15-08-2016 05:51PM

I also prefer Diet Coke and Pepsi Max to their full sugar counterparts....definitely nothing to do with the calorie count!

Just fill up a bottle at home using the tap.

Tap water ?

Simply leave a bucket outside when it rains to save on your water bill.

Or what about

"I just retain a lot of water"

Frequently said by people who 'retain' boxes of jaffa cakes in one sitting.

Bagging dog shoit and throwing in on the ground/hedge/someones garden.

Defies all known forms of logic.

Plenty of people, myself included, much prefer the taste of low fat milk over full fat milk and indeed the taste of Coke Zero over ordinary sugar-loaded, thirst-inducing Coke.

Same with tap water vs bottled. I don't like the taste of tap water, the smell also puts me off - must be all that fluoride.

Bottled water isn't perfect but at least it tastes like... nothing.

Paying for an expensive concert ticket...

Then observing the whole concert through your phone while recording.

And the final straw, never looking at that recording again ever....

Another uniquely American problem is the mysterious "throttle and brake reversal", where a car with a senile octogenarian will plow into a shop at 60 miles an hour and the driver will say " I pressed the brake as hard as I could but it just kept going faster!". Funnily enough teams of experts in automotive R&D labs have to date been unable to replicate this phenomenon whereby the brake pedal operates the throttle. The mystery continues...
