Shanti1 said:

but it's got little rainbow letters on the label!

Anx said:

Be careful..I think it is a marketing ploy.

Shanti1 said:

nooo, font design influences flavor!

Oh, goody -- there's nothing better than having mineral-rich pee.

Anx said:

I do not care what font design you make for the letters DIET - it is all yucky to me.
Why mess with nature- give me my real sugar!

Sure enough, the soda coolers at the gas station across the street had some bottles of "Diet Coke Plus." I dislike diet soda and almost never drink it, but I figured I'd give it a try.

The taste doesn't seem any different from plain old Diet Coke. And the added "healthy" stuff is pretty insignificant IMHO:

• Niacin -- 15% Daily Value
  
• Vitamin B6 -- 15% DV
  
• Vitamin B12 -- 15% DV
  
• Magnesium -- 10% DV
  
• Zinc -- 10% DV
  

I already get 100% DV of all of those (except magnesium) from my daily multivitamin. And what's up with 15% DV of Vitamin B12? The DV of B12 is a whopping 6 micrograms, and AFAIK, one can safely consume many times that amount. (Check out the label on a B12 supplement bottle.)

The thing is, you will probably absorb none of it because Diet Coke (not being actual food) contains none of the co-factors needed for your body to assimilate vitamins or minerals. This is particularly true in the case of B12.

rainbow font = tastes artificial

ZombieKitten said:

no, it means it tastes like friendship and peace!

Anx said:

you are literally making my side hurt from laughing with your posts on this thread. the deadpan "the label looks gay, I'll try it" sent me into a coughing fit from laughing!

matt said:

id rather drink it with this shit in it than not tho.

Sdldawn said:

What for? It's just gonna go down the toilet in an hour.

This is nothing more than an attempt on Coca-Cola's part to make people feel better about all the crappy soda they swallow all day. It still isn't good for you.
