Sneaky diet soda!

I love orange soda, and I always drink diet Orange Crush soda. Now, thinking that it's diet, I just always assumed it was 0 calories...but the label today happened to catch my eye, and it's got 15 calories, not 0! I know that's not a ton, (and i don't drink a ton of it either) but still...:grumble:

Lesson learned...just because it says diet, read the label anyway.

If it says diet, avoid it. There is evidence that artifical sweeteners actually make you hungry and cause you to eat more. The "diet" industry doesn't want you to lose weight or they lose a customer...bad for business you know. Good luck.

I just found Zevia and actually purchased the orange flavored. no cals, no sugar (and naturally sweetened with stevia) no sodium and I believe no caffeine. www.zevia.com for store locations and info!

Just know it's not as flavorful as other orange sodas, more like orange sparkling water. I just made cupcakes w/ it, DELICIOUS!
