Today's Scare: Diet Coke Kills You

[Tax-chick]

Yep, that’s why I’m dead.

[bimboeruption]

I don’t know how people can drink these diet drinks. The taste alone is enough to kill you.

[RKBA Democrat]

The fact is, soda pop is deadly, nasty stuff. Drink beer instead!

[MUDDOG]

Coke and Pepsi taste good, but they’re not good thirst-quenchers.

That takes iced tea.

[Patriot Babe]

For me, the diet sodas taste better than the sugar sodas. I guess everyones taste buds are different.

[RginTN]

Diet drinks are un-natural. Drink the real stuff that has sugar. If you wanna lose weight drink sodas moderately

[ilovesarah2012]

And I don’t know how people can drink regular sugar drinks. I just can’t.

[Impy]

Cane sugar > HF Corn Syrup > Disgusting artificial sweeteners that are an affront to the Lord.

“Yep, that’s why I’m dead.”

Quit showing off, TC. I died from Diet Cokes weeks ago!

[butlerweave]

you think diet coke tastes bad ,my brother tried to kill me when he gave me a coke zero ,OMG bad stuff

[wally_bert]

I’ve tried a few and they were all horrible.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” HF Corn Syrup “

Overly sweet, and destroys the taste of everything it is in.

[minnesota_bound]

I use Diet Coke to polish my chrome bumper.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Give me cane sugar, or give me death!

[wally_bert]

I usually buy the sugar based ones in bottles when I buy sodas. These days I’ve tried to cut them out again.

[alloysteel]

Long Island iced tea.

That really doesn’t quench thirst either, but after a few refills, who the hell cares?

[Tax-chick]

Well, you’re older.

But seriously, if anything was going to kill us, it would have been Tab.

[Ken H]

I don't know about deadly, but they certainly aren't addictive like some claim.

Been drinking about 6 a day for 25 years and have not gotten hooked yet.

Cane sugar > HF Corn Syrup > Disgusting artificial sweeteners that are an affront to the Lord.

The switch from cane sugar to corn syrup ruined many a soft drink and affected the taste of candy as well.

I'm not advocating great consumption of either, but the fact is those things taste worse than they used to. You can thank our sugar industry and tariffs for that.
