Just don't give me any of that Diet Coke or Pepsi Max type shite. The diet varieties are a con in that they're generally less healthy aside from the fact that they taste like toilet cleaner.
In summary:
Sugar > sweeteners.
Absolutely this. I slightly prefer Coca Cola to Pepsi, but it really doesn't bother me that much.
Diet drinks, Coke Zero and Pepsi Max are all awful and I often wonder if adverts making them look cool have actually brainwashed people into thinking they're nice. Otherwise, I'm simply baffled as to why people like them.
I don't drink Diet Coke because I think it'll have office workers drooling after me

I like it over regular Coke because it doesn't taste like someone's poured a bag of sugar into the can. Regular cola drinks are just too sweet tasting for me.

When do you reckon I'll die, Atreyu?
Sooner than you would if you avoided chucking that stuff down your throat, good sir. And in the meantime you'll be more overweight and generally have worse health than if you avoided it entirely. #AtreyuPredicts
Is it massively more unhealthy than all the other crap we stuff down our gullets (crisps, chocolate, pizza)?
Another thing is that I also workout too so, you know... Proto's gonna cop it before me, yeah?
I haven't had a can in *months*.
