I used to get this when I worked at a fast food restaurant. People would order a burger with like 1/2 lb of beef, cheese, bacon, and then the mayo and toppings, with a poutine--which, for those of you who don't know, is fries with cheese and gravy---and... a DIET Coke. I used to think, "gee why don't you just live a little and have a regular coke"? lol But the truth is, every little bit helps, and some of them probably got the diet coke due to diabetes (although that's probably another reason to stay away from this kind of meal, period).

This sounds like me in the old days, but I prefer the taste of Diet Coke over regular Coke. It had nothing to do with the calories.

Fair enough jtammy! lol It always made me laugh though.
