I'm a Coca-Cola addict, I've been one for as long as I can remember. I try to resist it but I usually cave and buy some, especially during a long day at work. Something that really pisses me off is when I put my money in a pop machine, push the coke button and out pops a Diet Coke. DON'T TOP OFF THE COKE IN THE MACHINE WITH DIET COKE!!!!! If I wanted Diet Coke I would have pushed that button in the first place. If there is no Coke left simply let it run out so I can pick something else. Diet Coke is not a substitute for real Coke, it may taste similar but lets be honest I WANT THE SUGAR. It may not be good for me but its one of the reasons I buy the regular stuff.
The other reason is that I don't digest Diet Coke very well, it actually hurts me and makes me sick when I drink it. The other day I was at a bar and ordered a rye and coke, a few minutes after I drank it I started to feel like crap. I figured a bit more pop might settle it so I ordered just a coke. Half way through that I started feeling even worse, then I realized it tasted wrong. A quick chat with the bartender and sure enough they ran out of Coke and were substituting Diet Coke. If I had known that I certainly would have ordered something else. So I ended up going home and lying on the couch in agony for a couple hours.
So now I'm staring at the Diet Coke on my desk that is the result of my latest pop machine run. I'm tempted to camp out the pop machine and wait for whoever restocks it, then I can force a gallon of Diet Coke down their throat and see how they like it.
I think its time to see if I can find a co-worker willing to buy this Diet Coke off me.
Sigh.... this happens at least once a month.
