or should i say byodc? meaning of course, bring your own diet coke.

i've mentioned that one of the many reasons i love my job is the coke fridge in the break room that is typically stocked with dc.

we ran out today.

it was hard on us all. i even drank a coke zero (i know, i know). usually, nothing can take diet coke's place. when you want one, you want one. you know? reminds me of a time i was out to eat with a friend who feels similarly at a place that only has pepsi products (how could we not have known?). when my friend asked for a diet coke, we were told that the closest thing they had was diet pepsi. looking up solemnly, he replied,

"just this once."

i was shocked at his defection but it did give me the strength to venture out and order one as well.

i just read this post. i think i have what some members of the medical community may call a "problem."

if so, someone call dr. drew. i might be having some crazy withdrawal side effects tomorrow.

Diet Pepsi is the antichrist.

I know, that doesn't make sense. But it sort of does at the same time... yaknowwhatImean?

Oh goodness. How do you figure out how to do all of these things on your blog? You're so smart! DIet Pepsi is not good! Seriously, not good. It isn't good. Did I say that already?

I used to drink a ton of soda but was able to wean myself off and now have mostly water all day...although every once in awhile the craving kicks back in!

I noticed the other day that there were only about 8 DCs in the fridge, and seriously thought about taking 2-3 of them and stashing them at my desk, but I thought I'd be considerate and let the chips fall where they may. I took the risk of coming in to work and not having any DC, and now there is none left. That's the last time I think of my fellow men. What I don't understand is, why doesn't our employer order a lot more DC than any other drinks? I think they can stop ordering Barq's altogether and replace it with DC.

And as far as Diet Pepsi goes, I took the chance and got one at Gandolfo's the other day because they don't carry Coke products, and I took one sip and had to throw the rest out because Diet Pepsi tastes like mold and Robitussin. Blech!
