it's diet dude diet soda doesn't give
you diarrhea there are some sodas that
are so popular you can find them
absolutely everywhere and diet coke is
one of them so let's check out 10
reasons why people are so obsessed with
diet coke it is the best the label of a
diet coke person you sure there's no rum
in that coca-cola we all know one and if
you don't know one you probably are one
everyone knows someone who is obsessed
with diet coke and that person can
probably be labeled as a diet coke
person meaning someone who loves diet
coke and has an unwavering love of the
soda no matter how many articles come
out questioning the safety of drinking
mass amounts of it or how many doctors
say that avoiding soda as a whole is
probably a good call a diet coke person
doesn't care yeah no biggie it has
become such a popular label that
internet memes have started to make fun
of it for example memes stating the most
intense kind of addict is a diet coke
drinker or those including images of
people sitting by the pool with their
bellies out with the caption me when i
choose diet coke over regular these
jokes have become a part of diet coke
culture and although they play on
stereotypes of people who drink it the
joking and ridicule will never be enough
to sway a true diet coke person away
from their one true love drinking diet
coke feels addictive
mmm that must be the sugar oh god that's
good
it's not clear whether it's the caffeine
that makes it so but people have
experienced withdrawal-like symptoms
when they have cut diet coke from their
diet some studies have shown that it's
actually the ritual and habit that cause
it to be mentally and physically
addictive a big part of why diet coke is
over consumed by consumers is that
unlike regular soda there really isn't a
risk to your weight or overall health if
you decide to drink a few cans each day
ah very nice despite diet coke not
having that much caffeine in it it does
give people a surge of energy that
sometimes replaces the buzz that drinks
like coffee and energy drinks provide
for those on a restricted diet
attempting to lose weight or cutting out
certain foods diet coke often enters the
picture because people want something
sweet to drink something to distract
themselves from over indulging on other
high calorie foods and drinks however
some people claim that drinking diet
coke actually makes them want to snack
on unhealthy foods more while others
drink it to fill in the gaps in their
day it has also been shown in some
studies that diet coke may be as
addictive as cocaine just with less
negative health effects and a less
severe withdrawal process one thing is
for sure people can't put this popular
drink down it's everywhere it's
everywhere these days
there are certain sodas you can simply
find anywhere whether you are in north
america south america europe africa or
anywhere in between you can get your
hands on a bottle a can or a glass of it
in 1982 when diet coke was first
released it was instantly the best
selling soda on the market money money
money money it soon went from america to
the uk to all over the world and in the
process its logo and design went through
many changes although its competitor
diet pepsi was introduced earlier than
diet coke making its debut in 1964
diet coke is the product that is now
notorious for being such an addictive
drink despite the two drinks providing a
similar offering the taste of soda
without the calories or the real sugar
most restaurants and or establishments
tend to opt for one brand coca-cola or
pepsi and this is why when you go to
restaurants or to theme parks for
example you will find that all of the
drinks are made by one of these two
brands meaning if they sell coca-cola
they will serve sprite but if they sell
pepsi they will serve seven up needless
to say you're never too far from a
coca-cola product which is a big plus
for diet coke lovers around the world
it's made for everyone give me a uh
literal cola diet coke is unique because
it doesn't cater specifically to one
demographic diet coke isn't a drink
meant only for older people teenagers or
children it's for everyone this is a
major reason why people are obsessed
with it there are no limitations to who
can enjoy it and it's easily accessible
to everyone as well also unlike other
diet drinks diet coke is not seen as
something only for women in the past
diet food and beverage products have
primarily been targeted towards women
because of this idea that women are
always on a diet or looking to lose
weight perhaps as society has evolved
this is no longer a stereotype that
needs to be enforced or alternatively
maybe it's because now both men and
women tend to try out dieting at one
point in their life it's important to
remember that diet coke actually doesn't
promote weight loss however it is
popular among anyone looking to replace
their regular sugar-filled soda with a
less calorie-heavy alternative which may
in turn lead to some kind of weight loss
down the line i love it it's simply
awesome it's advertising also remains
quite neutral in its messaging in fact
diet coke's original slogan was just for
the taste of it but has seen dozens of
changes since then some of those slogans
include do what feels good and the most
recent just because another notion
suggesting that there really isn't a
reason not to have diet coke in your
life and there are no excuses needed to
enjoy a can bottle or glass as we keep
moving on take a second to hit that like
button would ya thank you
next the style
so you are trying to block me huh that's
fine what's your style the diet coke
brand has gone through many different
design changes throughout the years
although we know it today as the sleek
silver fashionable can that we love to
hold in our hand and stroll down the
street with diet coke didn't always look
the way that it does now in fact the
original diet coke can was white with
red slanted lines and the words on the
can read diet coke and less than one
calorie soon after diet coke switched to
a silver can with an image of a glass of
diet coke and the words diet coke
written vertically this brings us to the
design that we see today the current
diet coke can is now seen as a classic
and globally recognized design it is now
silver with the words diet coke written
horizontally and it no longer features
an image of the drink in a glass the
current design is known as being sleek
discreet and fashionable perfect which
helps to maintain diet coke as a highly
recognized and respected drink in the
carbonated beverage industry this design
attracts every type of person once again
reminding us that sometimes judging a
book by its cover can help you discover
some great things it comes in different
flavors and versions try diet poke
exotic mango although not as popular as
the original there are different
versions of the popular drink that make
it even more appealing to the consumer
in fact in the past few years there have
been many new flavors launched some for
a limited time and some can still be
found in stores around the world some of
these flavors include feisty cherry
ginger lime zesty blood orange blueberry
acai strawberry guava twisted mango and
more in addition to these flavors
there's also a version of diet coke
called caffeine free diet coke as its
name suggests this version doesn't have
any caffeine in it making it a bit more
appealing for those late night drinkers
or those looking to avoid caffeine as a
whole excuse me that better be decaf
however this version of diet coke
doesn't taste exactly like the original
and most diet coke obsessed people will
always opt for the original because why
mess with something so perfect
celebrities drink it double endorsement
one sure way to get people interested in
a product is to have a celebrity
endorsement indeed indeed the most
recent major celebrity to endorse diet
coke was taylor swift who signed a 26
million dollar deal with the brand in
2013. other celebrities who have
endorsed diet coke include stars such as
elton john and shania twain among others
although we can't be sure whether or not
they actually enjoy the drink it doesn't
hurt to have their stamp of approval
especially when their audiences include
those of all ages who may then be
inclined to drink the popular soda the
drink is also featured in different tv
shows such as sex in the city and
friends these shows that rerun
constantly on our televisions remind us
that not only is diet coke something
that we should be drinking but that it
is an all-time classic that should not
be missed diet coke's constant
visibility in the media is so subtle
however that we don't even notice it's
there but considering how many people
are still discovering diet coke becoming
obsessed with it and sharing it with
their friends it's pretty reasonable to
assume that the coca-cola company is
doing something right coca-cola has a
great history where's my coke i need a
cocoa coca-cola was actually started
back in the late 1800s when in 1886 a
pharmacist named dr john pemberton
created the recipe and sold it from the
pharmacy he worked at in atlanta back
then it was sold for only five cents a
glass shut up and take my money which is
hard to imagine in today's economy dr
pemberton's version of the drink was
advertised as a drink that would act as
a medicine he suggested that it could
aid in healing individuals suffering
from things like indigestion headaches
morphine addiction and more it soon
changed to being a drink to simply enjoy
with no promise of any health boost or
curing powers it just was what it was a
delicious drink you may think that diet
coke was the coca-cola company's first
diet drink that they sold however that
was actually a soda called tab tab was
discontinued in 2020 however back in the
70s it caused a controversy as it was
sweetened with saccharin an ingredient
that was linked to cases of bladder
cancer in rats however this wasn't ever
proven to be the case in humans and so
the ingredient remained in the soda tab
became a lot less popular and
essentially fell off the radar once diet
coke was introduced you may be able to
find a rare can of tab in some places
but really is there a point in trying it
out when there's diet coke in the world
drinking diet coke becomes a habit i
can't live without them we wake up brush
our teeth shower have our cup of coffee
all of these things on their own are
habits that we have become accustomed to
over time just like these things that we
do each morning drinking diet coke can
become quite the regular habit for some
people who simply reach for the drink
daily when they're thirsty bored or just
looking for something to drink over time
the habit of drinking diet coke can
become so normal that eventually it
becomes an obsession and taking it out
of your daily routine feels like you're
missing something some people even have
co-workers friends and or family who
drink diet coke early in the morning
almost as a substitute to coffee it's
one of the only sodas that people will
reach for in the morning proving once
more how obsessed people have become
with it is that good it sounds bad
although building a routine around a
soda could happen with any drink it
seems that diet coke is the main one
that leads to habitual drinking and it
remains notorious for being a guilty
addiction by many soda drinkers around
the world the diet coke health halo if
you want zero calorie water try diet
water zero light the health industry has
a lot of opinions about diet sodas
there's a never-ending conversation
taking place asking what is better
regular soda or diet soda ah you tell me
the obvious issue with regular soda is
that it's chock full of sugar more sugar
than most people are aware of in fact a
can of regular coke has around nine
teaspoons of sugar in it and a can of
pepsi holding around 10. so diet soda
may seem like a great option for those
watching their sugar or who simply don't
like the idea of consuming that much of
it in a simple drink however a drink
like diet coke is sweetened with
aspartame which is a low calorie
sweetener used in many diet sodas it is
also used to sweeten things like
desserts and chewing gum and coffee too
however aspartame has spiked quite the
controversy in the past with some
believing that it may lead to cancer but
in reality aspartame has been studied
intensely and it has been shown to be a
safe additive to drinks but safe doesn't
necessarily mean healthy there's a limit
to how much aspartame one should consume
per day but you would have to drink
almost 20 cans of diet soda to worry
about the effects of it although diet
coke may not be healthy it's a good
replacement for those watching their
sugar intake or who simply prefer the
taste of diet coke over the regular
version that diet coke i think just
