You Have to be Joking

I do not want to make a habit of posting critically opinionated blogs, but on this I can’t resist. Plus I actually have this item in my refrigerator so it’s somewhat hypocritical/comical. In case you can’t read the print on the bottle of Diet coke, this is Diet Coke Plus. It’s aim is to be a sugar free vitamin enhanced carbonated beverage. While I am in agreement that this drink is sugarless and packed with vitamins, I am bit slow in believing that this can actually be healthy. Please believe me when I say I do not drink diet coke because I think it’s better for me. I just don’t drink regular coke because I don’t like the affects sugar has on my body. The most comical of all the statements coke has made about this drink however is that it is actually a good source of hydration. To this I say let’s experiment. Let’s have 100 people drink only diet coke plus for three days. At the end of the three days, we will have them run three miles and see how they feel.  But I still really enjoy diet coke.
