in Introduce Yourself
Hi I just joined the site a couple days ago and looking for people to befriend. I am stunned that anybody actually bothered to make a Rum & Diet Coke and frankly i have a hard time believing it. You're kidding, right? If you use Diet Coke in your Rum & Cokes, maybe we shouldn't be friends. Finally I found a serving of Bacardi Light with Classic Coke and the recipe is like 6oz of Coke and a 1oz shot of rum. Are you serious? I don' t drink that often but when I do it's a special occasion and I'm not going to ruin a perfectly good celebration with a tiny little shot of rum in some Diet Coke. And then hurry up and come post it online. LOL!! This is so tragic to me. So if you are able to diet without going over the top with ridiculous things like that, PLEASE add me so I can post cute little snarky status updates about it, and get your feedback!! kThx .....

    I don't get what's so ridiculous. Someone doesn't want the added calories and sugar of regular Coke, what's the problem with using diet?

    The point is. It's absurd that someone who is drinking would have a "conscience" and choose diet coke. If they were really that concerned they shouldn't even be drinking in the first place.

    They don't want the added sugar from coke, yet they will take the added sugar from alcohol. Yeah, that sounds about right.

    6oz of cola 70 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 140kcal
    60z of diet cola 0 calories. shot a rum 70 calories. total 70kcal.
    you can easily save 350 kcal in a night of drinking.

    Some people prefer the taste of Diet Coke to regular Coke. I, for one, think regular Coke tastes nasty. Diet coke has a better taste, so I would drink Diet Coke. It isn't about the cals.

    If you don't drink much then have 6 drinks in one sitting it saves alot of calories in one day.
    It also allows me to drink without going into a sugar coma :)

    That being said, I do enjoy the occasional Tia Maria with milk, yum!

    Hi I just joined the site a couple days ago and looking for people to befriend.

    Well, this would be a good start until:
    I am stunned that anybody actually bothered to make a Rum & Diet Coke and frankly i have a hard time believing it. You're kidding, right? If you use Diet Coke in your Rum & Cokes, maybe we shouldn't be friends.

    I think it's more sad that you come online, state that you are trying to make friends, then make fun of someone that is trying to make changes in their life in some manner. It may not be the way you would think it's best to go about it, however you making it the topic of your first post shows how insensitive and oafish your actions are,

    Good point :)

    I actually think Crown mixed with Diet Coke tastes better than it does with regular Coke, but do not like the flavor of Diet Coke otherwise.

    Either way its irrelevant because neither is good for you, I do miss soda. 9 days and counting.

    Additionally, I don't see the appeal in having someone added to your friends list who rates people based upon their mixer of choice.

    I couldn't give a **** what anyone thinks. I drink captain and diet coke with a twist of lime. I really don't give a **** about calories when I'm going out to party. Nor do I give two ****s about the amounts of sugar in it. Most good rum is made from SUGAR CANE anyways so wtf?!?! You're gonna get a hangover anyways, drink up! I just happen to like the taste of the diet coke over the regular coke when it's mixed with rum. It tastes a little like vanilla coke and I ****en like it!

    Oh yeah one more thing. The only time I'll drink rum and coke is after I've already ran the bar out of Johnnie Walker Black on the rocks. That is and always will be my favorite.
