If the adverts are to be believed there are a number of benefits to a Diet Coke break.

Good flavor isn't one of those benefits. Every diet soda out there tastes vile - a bizarre metallic taste that approximates sweetness, but only enough to make you realize that it isn't sweet. I'll stick with seltzer water and the occasional Mexican Coke made with real sugar.

Remember Tab? Better off drinking old dishwater...
