re resp:29 no. Don't drink Pepsi One. I like my aspartame. ;) Actually
it's more habit and availability. I can count on Diet Pepsi being much
more available than Pepsi One in vending machines, or at
restaurants/movie theaters, etc. I would rather have a primary drink
that was available.
re resp:30 The Plan includes cutting back on my caffeine intake, but
slowly. Good to hear that the caffeine free version of my addiction is
pretty good. :)

coke Zero and Diet Coke have drastically different tastes. Coke Zero tastes
a lot like regular Coke. It has that classic coke "bite".
Diet Coke does not.
I hate Diet Coke, and I do not drink it - ever. I'd rather have water. But
I do like Coke Zero, and I usually have one every morning.
Coke Zero is for people who like coke. It is NOT for people who like Diet
Coke. Most Diet coke drinks I know are not fans of Coke Zero.

I switched from Pepsi to Diet Coke 8 years ago when I started work at a
company who gave employees free pop. Diet Coke tastes a lot more like
Pepsi than Diet Pepsi.

IIRC, Diet Coke was formulated at a time when Coke was starting to lose market
share to Pepsi. So they purposefully made it taste more like Pepsi (which
I hate).
Based on the popularity of Diet Coke, and the continuing decline of the market
share of Coke v. Pepsi, the Coca Cola Company reformulated their flagship
product to what we all now know as the New Coke. New Coke was fabulously
popular in all the marketing tests they did. The taste tests were great.
Everyone liked New Coke.
Of course, market testing isn't everything.
Coke market share increased dramatically after they reintroduced the original
formula as Coca Cola classic, and while Coca Cola Classic still dominates
Pepsi today, both companies make a lot more money off their Diet brands.

I never drank regular Pepsi, growing up it was always Coke. Then when I
was in my teens somewhere we started getting Diet Coke for my mom and I.
She still drinks Diet, but prefers hers flat.

When I was a kid, it was a big deal to walk up to the local party store
and buy a Pepsi. I think they cost fifty cents or something like that.
My dad would sometimes give us money for a pop and we would walk the
half mile to the store. I almost always bought a Pepsi which came in a
half liter glass bottle. I miss Pepsi that was made with sugar and came
in glass bottles. But, since pop isnt really good for a person, it is
just as well because if they still sold that kind, I would probably
drink more of it.

In the spring, around Passover, in some areas, you can get coke that's
made without corn syrup. It still comes in plastic bottles, tho. I
don't think I've seen Pepsi like that, however.

Why is it with some diet coke that when you pour it onto ice in a glass then
it makes a ton of foam and leaves no carbonation or bubbles left in the
beverage?

I think that sometimes has to do with leftover detergent in the glass.

We wash our glasses with dish soap..no detergents. I'm curious if the
icecubes themselves maybe have a chemical from the tap that causes the
carbonation to fizz out?

re #42- the Plan is simply a means of living healthier- eating better,
getting more excercise, etc.
And yes, she's weird. I had to inherit it from somewhere....

rainbow sherbet. Thick, tall ones.

Re resp:45: Most 'soaps' of any description are detergents.

re #47 why would you mix DIET squirt with sherbert or ice cream?
Doesn't the sugar in the sherbert render the lack of sugar in the soda
a bit irrelevant? I'd think you'd logically use regular Squirt for
that.

I was just curious why not Vernors or Canada Dry or something a Detroit native
would appreciate more unless its all about the "lime".
