hoveringsombreroA discussion elsewhere brought this up.
I never was a big soda drinker as a kid,
few times I tasted diet soda I thought it was icky.
Plus the only people I knew as a kid who drank diet soda,
were tiny stick thin girls obsessed with their imagined fatness.
So over the years I got more and more exposed to it,
And eventually lived for several years with an avid Dr. Pepper drinker.
Hooked!
However about a year and a half ago it started to become clear
that sugar was becoming a problem.
Which seemed weird since I have never been a big sugar person.
I just don't like overly sweet things, they don't settle well.
I scrape frosting off of my tiny piece of cake.
The reason being is that once every 3 or 4 months
I'll eat too much of something with sugar in
This didn't use to be a problem,
I'd just get a headache for a few hours and be done with it.
but again, as of the last few years what would happen is
my body just shuts down,
it's a forced nap while my retarded body attempts
to figure out how to get the crap digested and produce insulin.
Which brings me to my point.
Very little actually offends me, but every time I see/hear
a comedian make a variation on that stupid joke,
I want to punch him/her in the head with mars.
Not every fat person who orders a DIET soda with the exact same meal that you ordered regular soda with,
is on some mission to somehow cancel out the food with the alleged "diet" nature of said soda.
You try being me for an afternoon and drink
a LARGE regular soda and then play the waiting game,
if you can manage to NOT give in to forced nap
while my retarded system
screams in funky horror at the sugar.
Or better yet,
try being PEANUT, and have a nice large regular soda,
I'll just sit here and hold your insulin till you cry pardon.

I love listening to people order a bacon-cheeseburger and a Diet Coke.
"I would like eight pounds of fat shoveled into my throat, and then
please bring me a Diet Coke ”I have got to watch my weight."
