Diet coke really is a woman's drink.

Diet Coke = for Women

Both are the same drink, marketed differently.

:rolleyes:

Coke Zero tastes like fooking dunnes cola

diet coke ftw

I prefer Diet coke to regular, but it has to be very cold... Diet Pepsi is even better.. I used to find it hilarious working in the cinema, you'd have these people coming up to the food counter who had obviously eaten a few too many pies in their day, and they'd stand there asking for 2 hot dogs, a large popcorn with extra butter (which was melted down stork margerine) and a big bag of malteesers and a large diet coke! I'd feel like turning around and saying the diet coke's not going to make a difference you fat *******! Funny though..

I must be mental so, I think it's nice!

Tesco '7 up' type drink, the one that costs 13c or 20c or something, is what I imagine white spirits would taste of. :eek:

First off, sorry to burst you bubble folk but AFAIK there's no such thing as sugar free coke. If they contain caramel, and I've yet to see one that's found another way to give it the brown colour (hence the AFAIK), then they contain roasted sugar. I know someone who used to work in the Coca-Cola factory and this is how they made it. This would also be why any form of coke drink will leave a surface it's spilled on sticky. Basically they're using semantics to say there's no SUCROSE (table sugar), however there is still sugar (as in members of the chemical family sugar), which your body will still accept as such and treat as such (converting it to fat if there is no need for the sugar), diet coke of any form is just removing the use of sugar as a sweetening agent.

but then why are they both separate products both of which are still on sale?

You mean like Sprite and 7-Up here in Ireland?:p
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_%28soft_drink%29

In Ireland and Canada, Sprite and 7-up are interchangeable and, when asked, a person may say Sprite or 7-up to mean the same drink.

(if I remember correctly it's something to do with the same crowd produces both drinks here)

100% Male here

Drink Diet coke All the time

*It dosent cause problems to my tonsils

Goddamn it! What about all those sales of Mentos and Diet coke? You're not telling me that it's women that are the cause of that consumption?:p

Coke Zero > all. Nuff said.

Coke Zero doesn't leave your hands or a surface sticky if you spill it. Also, it comes in manly black cans and bottles, and tastes pretty damn good. Not as good a real coke but not far off, and it tastes a million times nicer than diet coke.

Still contains caramel as the colouring though if you wikipedia it, ergo still has sugar in it.
