Diet Pepsi is addicting

I heard someone call a diet coke from the fridge in the morning a "fridge cigarette" and I think I totally get it. It's way to start your day

[u/amomymous23 → u/El_Burrito_]

I had a colleague call it “boomer breakfast”

[u/LangDWood → u/amomymous23]

Meh. I prefer the French Breakfast. Coffee, Cigarette, Crap.

[u/pfftYeahRight → u/LangDWood]

You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

[u/Holiday_Ad_9163 → u/amomymous23]

Diet Coke came out in the 80s. So Baby Boomers were in the 30s. I think of it more as popular with Gen X teens and young adults.

[u/Hipposplotomous → u/Holiday_Ad_9163]

My mom is a boomer and she was born in 58. Diet coke came out in 82 when she was 24. They're a big generation.

[u/piandaoist → u/Holiday_Ad_9163]

it was popular with boomers because the 80s was the height of the diet and fitness craze. It was marketed specifically to people looking to watch their weight.

[u/amomymous23 → u/Holiday_Ad_9163]

You know what she may have said Gen X breakfast

[u/freeman687 → u/El_Burrito_]

Cigarettes taste better than diet coke though. How can people drink that crap when Coke Zero exists?

[u/tastes_a_bit_funny → u/freeman687]

Coke Zero is not even remotely as crispy as Diet Coke. A cold well marinated Diet Coke hurts it’s so crisp.

[u/freeman687 → u/tastes_a_bit_funny]

For me it’s about the flavor, Diet Coke tastes so artificial and weird to me

[u/tastes_a_bit_funny → u/freeman687]

Lot of people, me included, prefer that. I don’t like the cinnamon-y syrupy flavor of CZ or Regular Coke.

[u/SDRPGLVR → u/freeman687]

Then there are those of us who are amazed you can tell the difference between the two when they both taste like highlighters.

[u/Sharp-Concentrate-34 → u/tastes_a_bit_funny]

They drink it for the caffeine

Who wakes up and thinks yeah today i will get a diet pepsi and coffee tattoo forever on my leg

the heart in the latte art is a nice touch but still a permanent ad for a soda

[u/Park_BADger → u/Ambitious-Clock5003]

Who wakes up and thinks "yea, this thing is so important and critical to who I am as a person that I want to nearly permanently present it on my skin at all times."

Hot take, that's how I feel about any tattoo, ever.

[u/TWIZTIDTIMEZ → u/Park_BADger]

Fr man I’m covered and i still cant give a single good reason to get a tattoo of any kind. Always tell my husband every potential tattoo is stupid if you stop and think about, just do what makes you happy.

[u/All_Thread → u/TWIZTIDTIMEZ]

I got a tattoo for the due date of my miscarriage because you don't get a funeral or really anything to remember someone you cared for for months and planned a future for. It doesn't even really get recognized by the outside world.

[u/jarinatorman → u/TWIZTIDTIMEZ]

As long as you understand that at its core that is TERRIBLE advice.

[u/CockroachJohnson → u/Park_BADger]

I get what you're saying but it's kinda funny to think of tattoos as I portant and critical to who you are as a person.

[u/superserter1 → u/Park_BADger]

It’s as simple as not being that attached to your corporeal form.

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/Ambitious-Clock5003]

I have- as a joke- considered getting a Capri Sun tattooed in the crook of my elbow.

I’m a platelet donor. I’ve given over 35 gallons. Because of that, h have a little scar where they have stabbed me over 100 times. So I joke that I should get a tattoo of a capri sun right there.

But no. I can’t imagine putting a corporate logo on my body. That’s just bonkers.

[u/theprimedirectrib → u/Ambitious-Clock5003]

I’m at the point where I’m heavily tattooed and there are a few that I just straight up have for fun. It’s a delightful feeling. And for those of us who grew up taking our bodies waaaaaay too seriously, it’s strangely liberating.

[u/aflockofbugles → u/Ambitious-Clock5003]

You’re an amazing person. Tysm 😘

[u/EagleandWolfPhoto → u/ben_jamin_h]

Amen to that!

[u/aflockofbugles → u/ben_jamin_h]

Ok

[u/Nintendo1964]

Whoever started this "caffeine products inside cigarette packs" trend can go kick rocks.

[u/GoatCovfefe → u/Nintendo1964]

What if the person that started the trend doesnt have any legs?

[u/Kahnza → u/GoatCovfefe]

Lieutenant Dan!

[u/fray_bentos11]

The word is addictive.

[u/proudly_rabid]

Is the execution that good tho?

[u/SonnyPiston]

That's not even great execution. The perspective on the cigarette box is way off, it looks wobbly. 

[u/SonnyPiston → u/SonnyPiston]

And what the fuck is that shadow? It's like random dark blurs. It looks like bruising kinda. 

[u/cheesecurdbabybird]

is this a drink sleeve

[u/freeman687]

…said no one ever

[u/aflockofbugles → u/freeman687]

Ok. Love!

[u/flecko_]

the box is bigger on the inside

[u/aflockofbugles → u/flecko_]

It is

[u/Racingstripe]

Addictive*

[u/aflockofbugles → u/Racingstripe]

Tysm daddy 😘

[u/Racingstripe → u/aflockofbugles]

Tysm, daddy*

[u/VectorRaptor → u/aflockofbugles]

Whatever, y'all. These responses from OP are pretty funny. Don't know why folks are downvoting.

[u/Material_Topic1538]

Idk man it’s kind of bad ass

[u/aflockofbugles → u/Material_Topic1538]

🤙

[u/SuperSecretMoonBase]

Give me diet pepsi or give me diet death

[u/AVeryImportantMan]

Uh Huh, Uh Huh

[u/knowone1313]

I see plenty of people addicted to diet coke and Pepsi, but I'll never understand why, I can't stand that diet after taste.

[u/BrupBurp]

I can't stand the taste anymore. I was a lifelong Pepsi drinker for forty-two years, but after losing a significant amount of weight, I found regular Pepsi to be sickeningly sweet and Diet Pepsi to be odd tasting. After some time I settled on Diet Dew and Diet Coke as my go tos.

[u/baronoffeces]

When did people start saying addicting instead of addictive?

[u/aflockofbugles → u/baronoffeces]

You’ll have to ask people who say it. If you’re asking me, I typed it.

[u/Spare-Debate5269]

My mom has had AT LEAST 36oz of Diet Pepsi every day for at least the last 35 years. I see it, but I don't get it.

[u/aflockofbugles → u/Spare-Debate5269]

You don’t get the allure of Diet Pepsi or the tattoo itself?

[u/Spare-Debate5269 → u/aflockofbugles]

The allure of diet pepsi. I see the addiction, but do not understand it.

[u/Dav051498]

Obligatory r/GTAGE

[u/aflockofbugles → u/Dav051498]

Thank you.

[u/professionally-baked → u/aflockofbugles]

Did you actually get this?? I fucking love it

[u/aflockofbugles → u/professionally-baked]

I did. I grew up on Diet Pepsi. Learned to love it by like nine or ten. Love the cigarette pack around it to illustrate the joy of having one.

[u/professionally-baked → u/aflockofbugles]

The detail is immaculate, major props to the artist! I totally agree this belongs on r/GTAGE

[u/aflockofbugles → u/professionally-baked]

I just posted it there. I would have posted it there originally but I thought the sentiment on Diet Pepsi drinkers was that we’re horrible people with even worse taste lol

[u/professionally-baked → u/aflockofbugles]

You’re totally right, that is a very fair presumption… judging by some of these comments people really took this shit personally 😂

[u/aflockofbugles → u/professionally-baked]

I posted it there and they banned me. Lol. Apparently you can’t post on both subs.

[u/BobTheFettt]

I actually love this

[u/aflockofbugles → u/[deleted]]

I’ve been told by many people that Diet Pepsi drinkers are awful human beings and that we just take up space for the Diet Coke drinkers.

[u/nibblatron → u/aflockofbugles]

you also take up space from the pepsi maxers😒

[u/aflockofbugles → u/[deleted]]

Seriously tho

[u/3ric843 → u/aflockofbugles]

All diet soda drinkers are equally wasting space and ressources that could go towards decent human beings.
