OT: The M-Fing Food Thread

i don't get the diet coke appeal... that metallic aftertaste is thoroughly unpleasant.

 

[Preston]

Not everyone tastes that metallic aftertaste in those extremely dangerous carcinogenic diet beverages. I know a person who will drink a beverage and will immediately know if it has any sucralose or aspartame or any artificial sweetener at all. Even if it also has sugar. And they can't stomach any of it, it just tastes like battery acid to them. It's like a superpower. Whereas others can't tell the difference.

I’m surprised they still haven’t invented an alternative that will bypass my filter

 

[CH1]

Damn. My AI has never been so brutal

Anyone who likes Diet Coke, baked potato chips, and chicken breast sandwiches has apparently declared war on pleasure and is determined to win.

But it did add this

If you’re visiting LA again, lunch is low-stakes. For one thing, you know he isn’t going to judge you for ordering something indulgent. He’ll probably be genuinely delighted that you’re enjoying your meal while he happily eats his chicken breast. There’s something endearing about someone who knows exactly what he likes—even if what he likes happens to be aggressively unexciting.

My favourite fridge cigarette is the Zero Sugar Mountain Dew. Like cocaine to me.

Coke Zero >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Diet Coke

San Pellegrino aranciata rosa or GTFO.

I’m not a rum drinker but also question anyone that uses diet coke for rum & coke

So, Diet Coke is the best. I can't even take a sip of any other soft drink, especially regular Coke which feels like sugar syrup is being poured into your mouth.

As for chicken breast, it's maybe the thing I order least. I'm a big fish and red meat guy. Chicken is something that I just dabble in or have standing by at home. But the Harvey's chargrilled sandwich and the Burger King original chicken sandwich are legit top notch fast food options. Top notch. I had the BK one a couple of weeks ago for the first time in maybe a year or two and it did not disappoint.

Are those soda streams still a thing?
Remember my kids “needed” them when they first came out.

Does anyone here drink Pepsi or is that only for the blacks?

Sorry I'm not an expert on these cancer beverages.

Warren Buffett has been drinking multiple Diet Cokes per day forever and not only is angling to hit 100, but also finds time to make billions a year.

Hard to argue with those results!

It's for the Frenchies. That and Mae West.

Historically, Pepsi was cheaper than Coca Cola.

It's not bad, plus ingredients are pretty clean, although the Sicilian salt is a little puzzling.



But I'm easily distracted by my standby.

I know a guy that drinks diet coke who got cancer so I guess the jury is still out

So we established the odds are 50/50 then.

Next anecdote is the tiebreaker
