2 - 12 oz cans of diet A&W per day. I still drink plenty of water and get most of my caffeine from unsweetened iced tea.I don't know what "diet pop" is, but I do drink diet soda.
Once upon a time soda was called soda pop.
Some regions of the country shortened that to soda, while other regions shorten that to pop.
And in the Midwest, it's still soda pop.
I drink 2 a day - one for breakfast, one as an afternoon snack. Water was getting pretty boring.
I'm from the Midwest and I've never heard "soda pop" except in old movies.
Yeah, I mostly hear pop, sometimes soda, never both.0 -
I'd occasionally hear what sounded like "sody pop", usually as a joke
I drink about a 12 pack a week of Diet Dew. I drink a can each on my drive to and from the gym for the caffeine and alertness. It at least doubles when I'm working because I do 20oz bottles in the afternoon - for the flavor and also caffeine0 -

Thanks
Did you read the studies to find out?

Does my afternoon Monster Ultra Zero (no calories) count towards "soda?" It's fizzy and delicious, and gets me through the afternoon slump.2

Can you please post reputable (scientific) sources to back this up? Thanks. @Supawilkins1 -
I haven't drank any diet soda/pop in over ten years. GERD gone!2

Coke Zero and Crown Royal Black when I want Crown. Diet Tonic water when I want gin.3

My mother insists on calling it poison. She calls everything poison. Know what her favorite food is? Hot dogs! I remind her that hot dogs are one of the least healthiest foods ever. I believe pop...diet or otherwise...is okay in moderation. I like Diet Dew and Diet Dr Pepper. I don't drink it every day, but I have no guilt or regrets whatsoever about drinking DIET pop. I prefer it over regular because the regular is syrupy. All pop is bad for us. But we're all gonna die someday, might as well die happy.2

if I drink pop, it will be diet unless unavailable or someone in the family already opened a non-diet drink. I like it, and have been drinking it for well over 30 yrs. I think I am fine

No guilt.
It's my last little vice. I'm down a hundred pounds and I haven't had a cigarette in a year. A little aspertame never hurt no one.
im sorry. Did you say Vanilla Coke Zero?!?! What magic is this?!?! American magic I cannot get in Canada no doubt. You just blew my mind with the fact this exists
I love everything diet pop and likely won't ever stop drinking it. About 2 cans a day. More if I could get my hands on Vanilla Coke Zero

RIGHT?!!!!
I really want diet coke zero vanilla/cherry and halo top.
*sigh*
Want to know something infuriating?
Halo Top is available in Australia, but not Canada. I mean, what the frak?2 -
@cerise_noir I've heard halo top is trying but we have complicated dairy regulations. I have no idea what the Coke Zero hold up is0

What are these regulations? I've only been in Quebec for 10 years and had no idea there was such thing.
Yeah, no idea why. I have seen coke zero vanilla in stores for limited times, but never zero cherry.0 -

This is a crazy idea, but does your Sobeys have a "foreign" food aisle? Mine have it with Thai, Indian, Danish, German, and, yes, British. Sometimes I can find vanilla Coke in the British section. Haven't checked for flavored Coke Zero. I've been miffed there were no Jaffa cakes this year.

They have Cherry Coke, cherry diet coke and cherry 7up cans in mine there but they are $$$$0 -
Used to on occasion. Haven't been able to touch the stuff since one of the facilities for which I'm responsible had to replace a syrup pipe to one of the soda machines and I saw what that stuff did to the pipe. It was the straight syrup and the pipe was years old and we don't ingest it that way as the syrup mixes with the carbon, but OH ... MY ... GOD!!!! I can still picture it and smell it in my nightmares. It did not smell good.

I drank diet pop practically every day since I was 12 years old.
I finally stopped after I had a miscarriage last year. I figured there was no reason to risk it, anymore (even if the soda had nothing to do with the miscarriage, I just feel like it's safer not having it.).
If I want the fizzies, I'll drink club soda. It wasn't so good at first, but I kind of like it, now.1 -
I recently discovered Coke Zero. I don't really care for the taste of diet soda but Coke Zero is tolerable. When staying up late to game on Saturday nights, I'll drink 2 or 3 however I generally avoid caffeine most of the time because it affects my sleep so much.1

I have given up carbs with relative ease over the last year. Pepsi Max however you will have to pry from my cold, dead hands.1

I just had to replace the water heater in my house. You should have seen what plain water did to the bottom of that water heater over the last 8 years. omgzzzzzzz, rotted it right out.
Take a look at pictures of the Grand Canyon some time. Water did that too.
Dangerous stuff.5 -

I'm so sorry for your loss, no one will ever know why you miscarried and it probably had nothing to do with the artificial sweeteners in diet soda. But i can totally understand you not wanting to consume it whilst pregnant. I didnt even drink regular soda when i was pregnant, let a lone the diet stuff. Once i gave birth and stopped breastfeeding i went back to drinking regular coke, as then i didn't have to worry what it would or wouldn't do to my kids.
I really don't want this coming across as dem evil AS's will produce 3 eyed babies or whatever, i just didnt want to consume anything that I wouldn't feed my baby/kids i guess. I was just ultra conservative when i was pregnant.0 -

Why would you give up eating fruits and vegetables?4 -

I eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables, I guess I should have been more specific in what I said
