I Don't Get It, part 1: Diet Coke


Seriously, folks. What the fuck.

I can understand drinking cola sweetened with aspartame if you're worried about your sugar intake. I can understand drinking a cola with less calories than the regular version. Really, I can. But I will never, ever understand people who actually enjoy Diet Coke's flavor, who order it for the taste.

What is WRONG with you people?! </twilight zone moment>

Maybe I just can't handle the taste of aspartame, which turns everything it touches into a cup of medicinal-tasting goop, while everyone else's tastebuds are wired for it. And yes, cola is bad for you no matter how many chemicals they dump/don't dump into it. But still. Come on, y'all. This is a joke, right? All you Diet Coke fans are playing a trick on the rest of us. You can't possibly enjoy the stuff.

Comments welcome. I need to pick y'all's brains.
