On multiple levels, that diet stuff is bad.
I wouldnt have much cared and believed the conspiracy stuff, but having met some ex rocker types who, in their later years went totally sober and now their only vice was diet drinks..
I mean granted, they did A LOT of lines and joints and kegs and such when younger, so perhaps my variables are off, but these diet drinkers have a real 'borderline personality', quick fire trigger thing going. The chill is gone.
On-topic: I've found that the best use for diet dew is as a mixer with decent liquor. Now hear me out on this one, I drank a million bottom shelf bottles in my days and you always, ALWAYS know when youre hitting that stuff. That high end crap at the bar that tastes like water and sometimes hits you only as soft as water.. that stuff is tricky.
*TV advertiser voice starts* Thats why I choose DIET DRINKS! THEY TASTE JUST BAD ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU NOT HURRY TO YOUR NEXT SWIG! Diet drinks, sold at a store near you.
I know, its common knowledge. But the question was asked, and I think they're all pretty terrible and I had to throw out my .19 cents. I think 15 years ago, the two purple mountain dews were pretty crap. And white out was, too. Game fuel diet wasnt so bad.
