Grabbed one for a change of pace while waiting to check out at Wal-mart, read the label! OMG! Not better than regular 7-Up. Put it back, got diet PEPSI! 
I have turned into a nutrition label reading fool! I'm a Weight Watcher person, and I read labels, and whip out my app on my phone for WW points and calc stuff. Sometimes other brands are better than WW, depending on points and I also check the sodium.
I'm pretty sure I annoy a lot of shoppers when I'm hogging a spot in an aisle with my phone out and 3 or 4 similar products in my cart calculating all the stuff!  |
I do similar things. I was comparing two different peanut butters the other day and with protein bars (why are so many of them so full of CARBS!).
You just made me do a double take with the Sierra Mist. I have an empty can sitting next to me. I was thinking, "Oh my God please don't tell me I drank a regular one of those too." And no... it says DIET Seirra Mist.
If my vice is one soda (or two cans) a day and if I can get it to be caffeine free, then I'm good. I'll allow that vice. I actually prefer the taste of diet over regular too.
