This is the first time I've seen 55 as the year. So where have you been, 1955, 2055, or other?
If I live to 2055, I wonder if I'll remember this.

Looks like I just traveled seven hours forward in time.

I don't know if that's true. Artificial sweeteners are not metabolized, which is why they have zero calories. Furthermore, studies have been done that show mice given low calorie diets lived longer, so extra calories might not be good.

Artificial sweeteners have given animals cancer, but they were given ridiculously high doses. I don't think there's any evidence that they have ever given a human cancer.

And regular colas now are not sweetened with sugar,...

A diet cola is actually unhealthier than the normal one, it has a lot more chemichal sweeteners than sugar, and chemical sweeteners are worse for your metabolism than pure sugar.

Splenda's okay for me, AFAIK. I haven't noticed any side effects from it.

I have diabetes so I have to rink diet coke and diet pepsi for the most part. I've grown accustomed to the taste and even like it.

Nothing beats crystal light, though. Especially classic orange. That stuff is amazing for being sugar and calorie free.

I just noticed that the yogurt FO bought is sweetened with Splenda. I'm not surprised, because I kind of noticed that taste about it.

Jello is the best sugar free product out there, IMO. It tastes as good as or better than regular and the whole product, however many servings it is, comes to 40 calories. I drink diet softdrinks just because I've been conditioned to want something sweet to drink with dinner and it's a hard habit to break. As far as taste, I've ditched the lemonaid and tried sugar free fruit punch. That stuff is awesome.

I can't drink diet cola. The aftertaste makes me want to hurl. I've tried different ones that people promise "are really good this time" and in the end, I dumped about half a can out because the aftertaste hit before I was even done. If I'm going to drink pop, I'm going to go unhealthy all the way and drink the regular stuff. It's bad for me either way, so at least I might as well enjoy it. Besides, the calorie difference between diet and regular doesn't seem...

I was just talking about the rise in price of soft drink on another forum. I don't know exactly when it happend, somebody in the thread laughed and told me it's been going on for awhile now. But I bought some Mountain Dew Game Feul not long ago for 99 cents. Now the 2 liters I see are 1.60 or so. That will probably discourage me from buying them unless they're on sale......

.... then again it will probably encourage me to just buy another soda brand that's on sale if...

Most of the times when we eat out, I only drink water, too. I usually only drink water at work.

I have to drink some juice, though, because otherwise I wouldn't get enough Vitamin C. I can't stand oranges or orange juice, so I almost never eat anything that has enough Vitamin C in it.

There's a joke about how people eat a lot of unhealthy food, and then get a diet cola.

There were at least two jokes like that on Beavis and Butthead. In the first, a lady self-consciously orders a bunch of health food (salad, water to drink), then says, "What the hell!" and gets two apple pies, too.

In the other one, a lady orders tons of food - so much that I didn't get the joke at first, because I thought she was ordering for a family, not just...
