As much as i can't stand big business advertising, i have to admit they have done their job....at selling products to stupid people
Take diet coke for instance. In the mind of a normal person, it is just a shitty tasting drink that is supposed to be good for you but in reality doesnt do shit.
But it never ceases to amaze me the amount of people (generally stupid fat people) that think that diet coke is going to help them lose weight. The big coke executives did their homework nicely, and by adding four letters to the end of the name and removing 50% of taste, there is a new product that is "good for you"
Case study #1
In my younger years through high school i worked part time at McDonalds. It was here, working in drive-thru that i cam across some very interesting characters. But there was no-one more interesting, disgusting and down right stupid than the "fat family"
The middle-priced sedan would pull into the drive thru lane, and i could already predict the order by looking at them. Mum and dad, two kids, all morbidly obese. All sweating in the middle of winter. The order: "4 large double quarter pounder meals please, and 4 extra cheese burgers" ***pause to pant for air after effort of speaking*** "oh, and make the drinks diet coke"
What the hell? they are about to eat half a cow in burgers dripping with greasy oil...but never fear, a diet coke will make your chubby ass thinner. I am sure that their definition of vegetables would be not taking the pickles off their burger.
Case study #2
I work on an IT helpdesk. Another breeding ground for fat asses and stupid, stupid people. As you would imagine, sitting at a desk all day isnt the best exercise in the world. But never fear, you can eat all the crappy greasy junk food you like, as long as you drink DIET COKE. I am sitting here, right now at work watching a colleague demolish 2 hamburgers, but his 390ml of diet coke will save those clogging arteries. No doubt that these are the same jerks who will be suing McDonalds or Pizza Hut for selling them fatty food
New advertising slogan: "Diet Coke...excercising is for chumps"

Well, I'm a huge fan of the saying "if it's not food then don't eat it". All forms of soda are satan. But some people get sorta addicted to the taste of diet, it is SUPER sweet. They go into aspartame withdrawl if they can't get it.

It's like the girls are saying - diet coke doesn't have all of the extra calories. Piss or no piss...it's 105 fewer calories (and that's just in a single can).

Once you make the switch to diet, there is no going back and who really needs the empty calories.

Doesn't have much to do with it but...I recently discovered why Sprite was the only goddamn pop that didn't advertise (or didn't advertise as much) their diet version.
BECAUSE IT TASTES LIKE CAT PISS!
I've tried both.

But cat piss is higher in calories.

The "Double Cheeseburger and a Diet Coke" thing is so overused that you just pushed me over the edge with this post. I'm going to go club baby seals to death all day long.
AND I LOVE DIET COKE

Yeah, diet coke is crap. But there are no calories, so for people who do eat smart, it is better.
No empty calories.

I drink diet coke all the time no matter what I'm eating. Once you make the switch to diet, there is no going back and who really needs the empty calories. Maybe you should just shut up and fill the order.

Ok, so you're about 19 and working at an IT helpdesk? That's not a helpdesk. You're a script reader. STFU. Oh, and your writing is pretty fucking atrocious.
==================================
script reader? in all honesty, a lot of the clowns here are certainly that. i am not. i WRITE the script mate, as well as fix actual problems. I am not too worried about writing style thanks champ

That said, Diet CAN help you lose weight. A guy I know has lost over 50 pounds just by cutting out his usual 120 oz of regular pop a day and replacing it with diet.
