„After about an afternoon of "soaking up the rays," I found myself bored to tears, and would hop on a flight to a big city like Tokyo, which is where I ultimately got busted for counterfeiting the art work of a well known American artist named Mark Kostabi (and that landed me, the golden boy from the suburbs of New Jersey, in the slammer). But when I was really low, all I could do was lay in bed, watch television, talk on the telephone and drink Diet Coke. The constant "cycling" was driving me insane and the psychiatrists all believed that ECT would put an end to these cycles. I put my life in the hands of these silver-haired doctors.“

CoffeeGeek - Notes from the Road - a Coffee Trip (#)

„The Barista comes with one of those spring loaded nightmare portafilters, guaranteed to spit out something that looks just like crema, no matter how crappy your beans are, how badly they’re ground etc. The first indication that this stuff isn’t crema is the fact that it disappears faster than the head on a warm Diet Coke. The second indication is, of course, the oh so bitter flavor of the beverage. This is in spite of ultra fresh beans (three days old) and a good vigorous tamp.“

BBC NEWS | Business | Coca Cola ad drive seeks sparkle (#)

„Coca-Cola's new campaign will focus on promoting Coke Classic in the US market. The brand is vital to the firm's success: sales of Coke Classic and its variants, Diet Coke and Vanilla Coke, made up 60% of the drinks giant's worldwide total last year. Coca Cola is reportedly hoping to portray its brands as young, hip and down to earth at the same time. Penelope Cruz reportedly burps in one advert.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Fat Tracker Daily Diary : 90-Day Diet & Exercise Journal (#)

„By listing Fat, Protein, Carbs, and Fiber separately I was able to see clearly where my normal diet had been terribly lop-sided. By checking off my water consumption and using the optional boxes for my Diet Coke consumption I was able to see clearly the tremendous inballance in my intake and how much money I really spend on Diet Coke on a daily basis. Scary.“

Amazon.com: Books: 24/7 : Living it Up and Doubling Down in the New Las Vegas (#)

„Part of what makes 24/7 enjoyable is the fact that Martinez is no down-and-out gambler, but a former lawyer with an Ivy League pedigree whose main vice seems to be an addiction to Diet Coke. He takes to his exploits with the intoxication of someone released from dull routine, without ever falling down on the job. As a result, he's never too delirious to note the weirdest details of this desert mirage.“

JAMA -- A Simple Observation, May 17, 2000, Devonshire 283 (19): 2498 (#)

„The doctor is balding: wisps of hair spring back across his scalp like stray thoughts. His long white coat hangs open, a half-liter bottle of diet Coke weighing down one pocket, shifting the coat to one side. He doesn't seem to mind the imbalance. As he breezes by the low-walled bunker of the emergency department staff station, the doctor chimes, "Hey, nice tie," to a resident in surf-green scrubs.“

„Dave Kushner chronicles the saga of video game virtuosi Carmack and Romero with terrific brio. This is a page-turning, mythopoeic cyber-soap opera about two glamorous geek geniuses—and it should be read while scarfing down pepperoni pizza and swilling Diet Coke, with Queens of the Stone Age cranked up all the way.” —Mark Leyner, author of I Smell Esther Williams“

„In fact, I'd end up going to another coffee stand in a far off part of the building if I wanted something different. So you'll appreciate now why I needed to quickly break the worrying Diet Coke cycle with the new shopkeeper. Nip it in the bud, if you like. I'm careful now to vary what I buy anywhere and everywhere to stop such situations occurring .“

„It may be my imagination, but it almost seems like cans of pop get colder in this product as I drink them! Last night (as I type this), I had a diet coke in it. It started off cold, but not that ice ice baby cold I like. But by mid drink it seemed colder, and the last few sips were icy.“

„Posted January 10, 2005 link I don't really get that either.  I love the people that wash down their super sized big mac with a diet coke and think they are doing something to help themselves.  Just use the real stuff in limited quantities and you will be fine.“
