I nearly wet myself 5 minutes ago.

Ian Wright is fronting a show on channel 4 which aims to help overweight kids get fitter. This is an obvious attempt to re-create the success of Lispy Oliver's campaign altough Ian Wright's suitability to front a show which requires knowledge of a particular topic is steeped in peril. The following exchange was broadcast moments ago;


Ian: 'So what do you normally eat'
The Child: 'Coke and Crisps'
Ian: 'Do you drink regular Coke?'
The Child : 'Yes'
Ian: 'Would you be willing to drink diet Coke and low fat crisps'

Ian Wright ladies and gentleman, prophet, nutritionist and diet Coke drinker.

lol

I liked it when he cried at the end

[Sidders]

What's wrong with Diet Coke?

[Lucie]

*sigh*. Oh Sidla!

[Mafro]

Diet Coke is for girls and Ian Wright should be banned.

[kendra k]

diet coke is one of the foulest things on the planet. my boss is addicted to it. when she goes through caffeine and aspartime withdrawls, it's ugly. then again, i'm a huge dr pepper drinker so it could be a matter of taste.

it's definitely a girls' drink. i'm tired of seing dudes drink it. they're usually fussy, whiny, and concerned about their girlish figure in the laziest way.

[Sidders]

Diet Coke tastes so much nicer than Fat Coke.

[Mafro]

Tastes like bile.

[kendra k]

anything with artificial sweetner tasts like bile.

The best thing to do with Diet Coke, I find, is drown it with Bacardi. That works.

No, fat Coke is far far better. Think Coke is sh*te... Although Pepsi is better than Coke any day.

Or better still, vodka - and it also works with fat Coke.

An opinion can't be wong. You can feel the sugar rotting your teeth away when you drink normal coke. Pepsi Max is the best.

Reminds me of when I used to work in a histopathology lab. Our job was to prepare tissue samples to be sectioned and examined microscopically - in order to do so, the tissues had to be impregnated with wax. This was fine with soft tissues, but we would occasionally get pieces of bone or more often teeth to deal with. We had all sorts of uber-nasty chemicals which we had to handle with full protective gear and full cover goggles and face masks because they were so corrosive, but with teeth, they really didn't work very well - we used to leave them for about a week (its supposed to work in 24 hours) and they still weren't soft enough to let the wax soak through at all. However immersion in Coca Cola worked brilliantly - 5 hours in Coke and the toughest hardest tooth or bone sample was as soft as an overcooked carrot.

Scary.

What about coke zero.... diet coke for men?

Really? I saw an experiment where a tooth was left in a glass of coke for 12 hours and it had no effect (apart from turning it a bit brown).

Fat Coke is the best by far - Pepsi is too sweet for me and diet coke is the devil of soft drinks!

[kendra k]

What about coke zero.... diet coke for men?

coke zero is totally just diet coke for men. my boss, the one addicted to diet coke, thinks it's stupid. she won't drink it. some ultra hip dude tried to get me to drink it, and it was minging. i'm a fan of dr pepper though.

Yep, we really used to do it. Don't know what they used when you saw it tried, but it worked damn well for us. Someone from the medical biochemistry lab said it dissoves kidney stones too, but I don't know about that, never tried it.

[kendra k]

it's because it's got carbonic acid. acid does wonderful things.

It's exactly the same as Diet Coke if you look at the ingredients.

Yes - its like re-branding, without withdrawing the original...Does anyone else like Cream Soda, or is it just me?

[stevotrash Esq.]

..did anyone actually get the joke that normal coke and diet coke are probably equally as bad for you in big doses?

[Yudster]

No I didn't get that joke - I thought it was a fact! Silly me.

How do you figure?

[MK Chris]

Sidders, are you being serious?
