On my desk at this very moment is a glass of ice water.
Something happen to my taste buds OR coke did something to diet coke. I don't know
which or what happen. All I know is diet coke started tasting very bitter and almost like
alkaseltzer to me. I kept buying cases thinking that perhaps I got a bad case, an old
production or some such. Whatever the reason, it was a good thing because I don't
even want a soda any more.
So for those of you out there addicted to soda, don't think you can't turn off that addiction,
you can.
I really think it's more about what you get use to and what you get into the habit of doing.
I'm working on my next monkey hugging my back and that is SWEET ice tea. I don't drink
as much of it any more but when I do, I still like it sweet.
If I'm not mistaken, that bitter taste you describe is due to the artificial sweetener (poison) they allegedly put in diet soft drinks.
People should never drink this s...... stuff It's strong enough to clean toilet bowls sparkling clean and fresh and get rid of the worst stains (this is true!), so imagine what this does to your body, and now they include dead babies in them wow........
It's sad but I know some people who drink at least 2 or 3 x 2L bottles DAILY of this, i kid you not
I drank diet coke for many years. Usually at least one daily.
However, for some strange reason, recently, they started tasting very weird to me.
Have you ever bought a fountain soda at a fast food joint? If so, do you recall getting a bad one that
taste very carbonated and maybe even bitter? Well, that is the way these diet cokes started tasting to
me. I don't know why but they taste awful to me now. I'll stick to water for the most part and to be
truthful, I'd just as soon have water out of a glass with straw, as I would anything else.
I've noticed the bitter taste and change of taste, but I have not touched carbonated soft drinks in years, I am now health conscious, lost 60+ pounds, and went from obese to being my normal optimal weight just from removng the sodas and the bad sugars from my diet.
I think they changed the way they make them, maybe that's why .... whatever it is, companies are now scamming people by telling them their product is low fat, low sugar, no sugar, diet, etc, it's all a pack of lies. They remove the sugars and fat but instead add chemicals that are more harmful than the sugar itself lol.
Any type of drink that is strong enough to clean the dirtiest of toilet bowls within seocnds, or scrubbing the floors clean and eating through steel never comes in this house lol.
Companies who make this sh..... are responsible for the epidemic of type 2 diabetes and to think I used to be a frequent drinker (soft drinks that is
) back in the days, and drinking that sh....stuff makes you more hungry and makes you crave MORE sugar.
If people want to lose weight without extensive diets - start by slowly removing the colas from your equation and excessive sweets, sugars, etc, and you will see the pounds drop.
You might as well pour some maple syrup inside cool, carbonated water and add a packet of splenda lol, and it will be healthier than the POISON these multi billion $ corporations sell you !
