It's a constant debate in our office. One side says Diet Coke is unhealthy for reasons A B C. The other side says too much sugar, etc. in Classic Coke.
I'm a Diet Coke drinker, and I usually lose out if only one case of soft drinks gets purchased. Oh well. I'll drink Classic Coke now and then, but it's too sweet .. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif
What do you prefer? Why?
And, yeah, I know, we should all be drinking bottled water instead of either ... but this question is not about SHOULD. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Diet coke tastes bad and it is destroying your braincells.
Remember, never give diet coke to children.

CocaCola Classic in a can (no plastic bottles puh-leeze!) over ice...the best ever.
DIET COKE SUCKS!

Martha, you have the best excuse http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
Kap, the best CocaCola is in the originale glassbottle. The can is not so nice and the plastic..... http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif

I agree wfe...the original glass coke bottle is the absolute BEST! More expensive than the other containers but worth it sometime. Martha I go back and forth...sometimes Classic is too sweet and I go to Diet and then back again...just depends on the mood.

I can't stand diet coke, it doesn't tast anything like coke. I can't stand any diet drink, artificial sweeteners (even splenda) always leave a bad taste in my mouth.
