“This is strangely written, but interesting. “

It certainly is... Like a translation into English

Like a translation into English, from Russian, by way of Hindustani.

Diet Coke tastes like salt water.
I miss the sea, but not that much.

My guess is it’s a Chinese person writing in English.

It's a Chinese with a speech impediment dictating to a hard-of-hearing Italian, then copy-edited by a dyslexic Pole.

I dated a gal 20 years ago who got me hooked on cranberry and Perrier. Probably have not drank more than a case of any kind of soft drink since then.

Switched to club soda for years because it was cheaper until I found salvage place that sells Perrier cheaper than brand name soft drinks.

Cheerwine was my dad’s favorite. You must be from NC?

Coffee stains ... we don’t drink coffee or anything in the car. When we trade in cars after 10-12 years they look brand new. (No kids, grandkids, etc. - LOL.)

I don’t think I drink coffee to wake me up, exactly. Without it I’m just not as overall alert as I should be - in a fog. And I do like the taste of strong, FRESH, black coffee. I guess you could say I’m a coffee addict. ;)

The only things I've been drinking these days is water, Luzianne iced tea and adult beverages occasionally on my non-working nights.

However, there's an Asian grocery store nearby that sells this:

Pretty good stuff.

That would be like drinking an 8 ounce cup of gin or vodka

That's silly. Every one knows that you drink 2 4oz glasses of vodka or gin, not 1 8 oz glass; unless you are an alcoholic that is.

When I was a little kid, my mom switched from Tab to diet Coke when it came out. I was a dedicated diet Coke drinker....almost as fanatical as this woman...for about the next 40 years. Then about 5 years ago I discovered Coke Zero which I liked even better and I switched to that.

Then after almost 40 years of being one of the Coca Cola corporation’s most loyal customers, two things happened.

First Coke decided it was OK to tell their employees to be “less White”. This kind of disgusting racism would not be tolerated if it were directed against any other ethnic group on the planet but its somehow OK to direct against White people?

Then Coke’s British CEO who is paid millions and millions of dollars per year came out against Georgia’s very mild (too mild) election integrity laws. Georgia isn’t even anywhere near as strict as several blue states like New York or like Biden’s Delaware....yet this ponce thinks it OK to whine about this after an obviously stolen election in Georgia?

That’s all it took. About 4-5 months ago I decided the part of my “Whiteness” I could get rid of was drinking Coke products. I haven’t had one since then. The good news is I discovered several other drinks like flavored water and sugar free Calypso lemonade that I really love. I’m never going back. They lost this customer for life all because they just had to inject their sickening leftist politics into everything instead of focusing on serving the customer.

I stopped drinking carbonated beverages twenty-something years ago. But it was a time when I was in the military and on swing shifts that I was forced to drink diet soda. In fact I drank diet soda to the point where regular soda tasted too thick and syrupy and just too sweet but diet soda filled the bill.

Now, how did I start drinking diet soda?

Midwatches. 6pm to 6am, Skeleton Crew all night long. The day workers drank all the regular soda so at about midnight when I wanted to have a soda with my sandwich, I would go out to the machines in the hanger and they were all out of regular soda but they had plenty of diet soda left so diet it was.

“I stopped drinking carbonated beverages twenty-something years ago.”

You and me both, but I think it has been longer for me. I don’t want the high fructose corn syrup or even cane sugar, and I don’t want any of the artificial sweeteners. I drink coffee and tea with stevia or no sweetener at all. I increased my intake of green tea when COVID started.

In West Virginia the children get crowns on their teeth from drinking Mt. Dew. It’s like pediatric meth-mouth. Now if I’m starting to fall asleep behind the wheel, nothing will do like the Dew for that last hundred miles. Myself, I prefer one can of ice cold Diet Pepsi a day. I have worked with people addicted to the Dew. They drank about a can every hour, and would carry a six pack in every morning while chugging it out of a big-gulp from Sheetz.

I have been trying for several years to switch to ecigs, but they burn my throat and make me cough. I have a whole collection of stuff, now... Thanks so much!

Reads like a translation into English.

I drink one Dr Pepper, every day. No more, no less. Should the apocalypse come to pass, I’ll be like Woody Harrelson in Zombieland, searching the world for stray cans of corn syrupy endorphin-releasing goodness.

Is the person who wrote this on crack?

Don't know about that, but if you tried to read the whole rambling mess, you'd need crack.

A room full of monkeys...

I can and do drink Diet Coke regularly, as in at least 5 nights a week right up until bedtime and sleep like a baby.
