I've found that Diet Coke with Lime tastes much better when I think of
it as "diet lime soda with Coke added"

My mother used to make it, but I haven't tried it in years. It's raining
right now, but when the sun comes out I think I'll try making some. Thanks
for jogging my memory.

Regarding the Diet Cola discussion, have any of you tried this Diet Coke
with Lemon or Lime or Cherry? To me it tastes like floor cleaner. (I'm
serious---like floor cleaner.)

I have tried the Coke Zero but couldn't even drink it beyond a few sips. I
also don't care for the new Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda. I think those
who like the regular sugared Coke might like it, but I'm so used to diet
drinks that the Diet Coke with Splenda tastes too sweet. However, I like
the Diet 7-Up with Splenda.

Like some others of you, I used to drink Tab. I think I'd only be able to
get it here in the large bottles, but I think I'll try it again. I also
used to like Fresca but haven't drunk that in years. Maybe I'll try that
again.

Back in the mid-60s there was a drink that (I think) was no calorie and it
tasted somewhat like weak ale. It had no alcohol and was just sold on the
cola shelves. Does anyone remember what I'm thinking of? I think it may
have even had the word "ale" somehow incorporated in the name.

The lemon seems to no longer be available here. It was okay. The cherry is
good, but too sweet. I can drink one can on occasion, but then I don't want
any more for a while. Love the lime! It's what I usually drink.

I haven't tried the 7-Up with Splenda but I hate the Diet Coke with it.
Daughter likes it though.

I don't like Fresca the way I used to. The new cherry kind is good, but
again too sweet and I can't drink much of it.

Not sure what that would have been.

Here, you can't get club soda unless the place has a bar.

Well here ....if you go to any nice resturant it has a bar...so don't
usually have a problem finding it The nicest thing is if the bar isn't
completely closed off of the resturant there is no smoking...Most of the
nice places just turned themselves into no smoking resturant bars. I love it
....there is nothing worse than trying to eat when the room is filled with
smoke. I never realized how much I enjoyed it until we traveled through
Texas and the resturants didn't even have smoking sections.

he won't eat it again...picky Picky

May I suggest an experiement? Leave yourself some calores at snack time, and
set up 4 small glasses of soda, such as Diet Coke, Coke Classic, Pepsi, and
Diet Pepsi. Then spend some time sipping each, comparing and savoring the
difference. Notice the texture on your teeth, how it *feels* in your mouth,
and especially the sensation at your gumlines.

Then leave the room, have someone refill the glasses and shuffle them
around. Then try it again. I can pretty much guarantee you will be able to
tell the difference.

It would not surprise me My ex once taught motorcycle
basics to kids whose schools thought they needed to do
something 1 day a week apart from sitting in class doing
nothing. His first week set the pace. He left the room and
someone knocked a motorcycle off the table, another kid
jumped off a table hitting a ceiling fan with his head and
had to go to hospital and on a trip to motorcycle shops (who
we dealt with on a business level) one helped himself to a
lot of stuff which my ex only found out about half way home.
Every ten weeks there were a new group who displayed the
same "attitude" The stories my high school kids come home
from school with would be eligible for the Darwin awards!

I don't remember that the Cherry was made in diet here, only
"real" Coke. I loved the lemon but they discontinued it.
Currently I drink the lime one.

After living in CA and NY, I was used to the "no smoking" thing. And here
in WA, many places had gone "no smoking" before I left. Now they all are.
You can't smoke within 25 feet of the entrance. Since I have a child, we
usually dine at family type restaurants. Some have a bar. But many do not.

Hmm. Obviously you have considerable experience. When did
you develop this liking for drinking floor cleaner? Does any
particular brand taste better than others?

How does it affect your BGs?

I miss real soda fountain cokes. Way, way back when I was 12 years old (and
diabetic already!), I used to play D&D at a local game store. Halfway
through the Wed. night games, various folks would want drinks from the store
across the street. Since I was very broke, I'd go get the sodas and one guy
in particular, who became a great friend, would buy me a soda.

Real, soda-fountain with just enough cherry syrup added at the time of
mixing the carbonated water with the Coke syrup, combined with complete
time-wasting manic sword-slashing fantasy. Heaven.....

Mind you, we didn't have glucometers back then, and I was being naughty, but
given the manic tension I was exuding, I don't think it kicked my blood
sugar too high.

When I was 12..back in the stone age we would go to the local Drugstore
fountain and my brother would order cherry coke and I would order lemon
coke

He didn't say he intended to sue. If he did, it would be a frivolous
lawsuit. But to take his question at face value, the answer is yes.

If you SPECIFY that something harmful to you be omitted
AND they give it to you anyway,
AND it harms you,
THEN they are liable. (But of course you do have to be able
to prove all three of those elements.)

I didn't see the original post, just what was tagged to yours. My first
reaction was to say

Get the **** out of here with your STUPID money grabbing shite questions.
You're not dead, no one killed you and no-one harmed you. Get a life. Grow
up, learn something about diabetes before trying to make it a meal ticket,
or better still, **** off.

I don't think anything's likely to change that reaction either. I thought
YOU were being far too kind to him btw.

And there are two chances of that happening. Slim and absolutely none at
all. Thankfully.
