So I like Diet Coke.
We know this, right?
One of the myriad reasons I love Cottonwood Heights, our current city, is that ever since we've lived here, I've always been able to find Diet Coke on sale. And not those lame 2 liter jobs. I mean a solid 5 for $14 12-pack sale.
I'm not kidding. Like every time I go shopping, there it is.
(Utah - land of addicts? Yes, I know.)
Well, the fun ended a couple weeks ago. This week when I went grocery shopping, there was nothing on sale. Nothing except...wait for it...Shasta.
If you, like me, have not had Shasta since you were 7, and even then you only drank the strawberry kiwi flavor, let me now assure you that it is horrid. Especially the diet flavors, which are all sweetened with Splenda.
Splenda!
Who thought of Splenda? Worst fake sweetener by a long shot.
So here is my question tally for the week, for those of you keeping score at home:
1) Why Winter?
2) Why Splenda?
3) Why Rachel McAdams movies post-Mean Girls?

I've been wanting to try Zevia - a soda you can get at health food stores that is sweetened with Stevia. It's pricey, though, so I'm not sure I want to like it. :)
And you're right. Splenda is the worst idea ever. It comes off all "hey I'm made from sugar" but forgets to tell you "hey I got passed by the FDA in a really sketchy way - I probably cause cancer!"
Gross.
Not that my (our) love of aspartame-laden diet coke is any better... but ya know. DOWN WITH SPLENDA!
