I have been seduced by the Dark Side
I never thought it would happen.
If it did happen, I never thought I would publicly admit it.
I have been drinking diet sodas for about a month now pretty exclusively, even though I have always hated the things.
This morning I found I still had a regular Coke stuck back.
I iced it down and took the first glorious swallow of what I felt I was craving: the real Real Thing.
I could barely drink it. It was nasty. It felt like I was drinking flavored corn syrup.
I actually prefer Diet Coke to regular Coke.
Thus, I have been seduced by the Dark Side.
They've planted their memes within my poor brain. Who knows what comes next? Conformity? Church? Becoming a Republican? WEARING A SUIT TO WORK?!?!?!?!?
Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!

I used to drink.....
"Tab"
Good on you, James!
I can't drink a regular Coke for the life of me
It's Diet Coke all the way.
When I gave it up for my pregnancies, Man, I would fantasize about a cold frosty glass of Diet Coke with beads of water running down the side and those little fizzies popping and sparking at the top.... ahhhhhh

Re: I have been seduced by the Dark Side
Hey, I remember that big discussion on sodas---that was a pretty rousing one. All I can say is that I'm darned happy for your change and I admire your honesty in making this public statement. It might help others who would like to try cutting down on the sugar a bit. Great news!peeplj wrote:I never thought it would happen.

I know plenty of non-Republicans who drink diet sodas or none at all. I even know non-Republicans who wear suits to work . You know, I am actually getting mixed up here. Surely many church-goers drink regular sodas, don't they? I'm not getting the connection between these things. Where would Birkenstocks fit in?

I don't think I've ever drank mostly sodas....
