Rick,
Are you serious? 5 bucks for a 12 pack??? Damn...

It's 5.99 for a case here. And I think that is expensive...

EDIT: OK all you Diet Coke Whores. How many cans a day do you drink? Come on, man up...

Yep... serious.
I can get the 24 packs for $6.99 though. Hard part is finding them.
I drink about 6 or 7 a day. My wife probably puts away the same amount.

Oh and Diet Coke in a can/plastic bottle is different than Diet Coke on tap.

It's all Aspartame in the can/bottle, but the fountain mix has a 50/50 mix of Aspartame and Saccharine. Seem Aspartame doesn't keep well in syrup form, so they had to add Saccharine to the mix to keep it sweet.

Pub/Bar Coke is a whole different thing. They get the syrup and add soda water. That's like night and day.

that is a hit or miss. if the blend is not right, forget it.

And if all they have is Diet Pepsi, I go without.

I think European sodas is all saccharine. Thats why I didn't care for Diet Coke in Europe. But then I got use to it in the 2 months I was there only to not like American Diet Coke. But now I remember why I didn't like the Euro-Coke. It's the saccharine...

A HUGE +1 on that brother. I don't like Diet Pepsi at all. Tries too hard to still be sweet...

I still got you beat. And that sale was for all Coke products. Barq's is yummy.:ROTF:

You have to love a Root Beer with cafiene...

I drink between 10-14 cans a day. Yep. Not kidding...

Thank God my wife likes Diet Mountain Dew. She leaves my Diet Coke alone. Which is good because that's grounds for divorce in my household...

I'm just a Ice guy and big coffee drinker. But when I want a soda it had better be cheap.:ROTF: My wife, rest her soul, was hooked on TAB.

[MikeStrat]

I too am a Cokeaholic. I've never had coffee in my life. I don't eat breakfast. I just grab a cold Coke and go. I love that burn!

[fett]

You never drank coffee? Yikes. Try a cuppa and you are history.:ROTF:

[ABSOLUT CHARVEL]

i could sure go for one now!

Where? I know Safeway has it for $5.99 a case right now. Just bought two of them the other day. And yes... they are both gone already. Need to get more on the way home from work.

Living in AZ, this may be a good time to back up the truck.:ROTF:

I usually hate diet drinks but I could learn to like it.
