I saw a comic once that was pretty funny. The customer is at the register and orders a skim milk decaf latte with Sweet’n'low and the cashier calls the order to the barista as “One Why Bother”

I love that comic.

Kind of like someone who goes into a Pizza Hut, orders a medium pepperoni pizza and Diet Coke then sits down by themselves to eat it, huh?

I worked at McDonald’s in high school. There was a regular patron of ours that came in who would order two quarter-pounder-with-cheese burgers, with an extra patty and bacon, an extra-large fries, and an extra large Diet Coke.

I never understood that. Canceling out the calories from dark chocolate with white chocolate, I get, but….

Aside from being diabetic, I’ve always ordered diet Cokes because I preferred the taste over the regular. (And have you seen what 32 grams of sugar looks like in just a 12 oz can of the stuff?!)

Anyway, glad to hear the Starbucks change, but you can already get the stuff with sugar-free syrup. Nobody thinks to ask unless they’ve got sugar problems, though.

And Kate, I’ll match your order with a triple Venti s/f-vanilla soy latte, double splenda.

Yay for Starbucks! That is awesome. I always order SF syrup anyway but now it’ll save me the breath of asking…

Or cause me more to ask if they REALLY use SF or not…

Good point, Elizabeth!

Jae, I usually can’t stand diet drinks. Like you, VH prefers their taste, but I’d rather have water than a diet soda… unless it’s TaB. Or Coke Zero. Love that stuff.

Wg, you can cancel out calories in dark chocolate? Do tell!

I’m to the point now where I rarely drink any kind of soda at all. Water and milk are about all I take any more. I made the mistake of having a diet mt dew a couple of nights ago around 5 p.m. and was up until 2 in the morning. Unfortunately it’s about the only soda I can stand anymore because it’s not too heavily carbonated.

sigh

jae’s last blog post..Looking back

VH is a huge diet Dew fan, but I’ve forbidden him to bring it home because he insists on the full-caffeine version. Last time my little boy got hold of a can of that stuff he was bouncing off the walls until the middle of the night.

I made VH stay up with him.

Yes, I’m certain that white chocolate and dark chocolate cancel one another out. Or if not, they should.

If you guys wanna try something really fun, try taking some of that non-dairy creamer that they give you for use in coffee, set some of it on a non-flammable surface in a well-ventilated area, and light it on fire. It’s explosively flammable, which is one major reason why I don’t ingest it.

Oh, and Jae - I’m firmly convinced that aspartame is eeeeeeevil. bleck.
