Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / October 2006Diet soda
I haven't spilled a diet drink yet, does it leave a sticky mess like a sugared drink?  SignatureYou are living somebody else's dream. The whole world, laws and way of life; not your dream. Clyde Crashcup My best suggestion is spill some on the counter and see if it is sticky. My question is why do you care? Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. My better suggestion is to spill some in your CPU. > My best suggestion is spill some on the counter and see if it is sticky. > My question is why do you care?

Nope. Susan No.... it's the sugar that's the sticky part. When I started working I worked producing radio commercials. If you spilled a soda into the mixing board (very bad) the first thing they always screamed was "Was that diet or regular!!??". Regular was very very bad. Diet was just bad.

SignatureSee my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm It's a blessing in that way. Had my twin grandsons knock over a whole large bottle of regular coke, hit the floor and basically exploded. It took forever to get all the sticky stuff gone off chair legs, floor, etc. Now, I only serve diet drinks to all of them. No regular soda at all here anymore. :-) -- Cheri Julie Bove wrote in message ... >> I haven't spilled a diet drink yet, does it leave a sticky mess like a >> sugared drink?

I keep a couple of "real soda" around for emergencies or to give to service people or an occasional visitor who won't drink diet soda/water/tea. I rotate them every few months by giving them away -- at least once to the firemen doing some sort of building inspection. When I was diagnosed, I had a whole case or two of Coke -- I took it up to the firehouse, along with some other no-longer-for-me goodies & they were happy to take them off my hands! bj >> No regular soda at >> all here anymore. :-) [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >hands! >bj We keep a couple of real ones in the fridge too - but I intend to try to persuade SWMBO to discontinue the practice for two reasons. First, the labels look almost the same as the diet versions on the brand we drink and that led me to accidentally drink them a couple of times. Secondly, I am uncomfortable offering a food that I now consider dangerous to any guests. As I've learnt more with time, certain foods have taken on a new dimension to me. Not to the point of the anti-aspartame or anti-iron or anti-meat kooks, but these days I can see absolutely no redeeming value apart from hypo correction in foods like sugared sodas, fairy floss (cotton candy), mars bars and similar. However, I don't intend to start a campaign about it except in my own home and possibly my own family.

Mine are too hard to reach when I intend to, being stashed at the back of the fridge -- no way I can grab one by accident! Also makes it hard to lose leftovers to go mouldy too far back on the bottom shelf. :) > Secondly, I am uncomfortable offering a food that I now consider dangerous > to any guests. I figure I can't change what people like just because they're fixing my faucet (or whatever) & I try to be nice to these people! The last batch of people were the ones fixing my basement carpet (after flooding from next door); given a list of what I had, they opted for water -- not everyone will choose soda when offered. My only problem that day was finding cold bottles I hadn't opened & used, but they didn't mind the room-temp ones. bj > I keep a couple of "real soda" around for emergencies or to give to service > people or an occasional visitor who won't drink diet soda/water/tea.

I never keep regular soda in the house, but I will buy it specifically for someone who is coming over that I know drinks it. For example, the girl my nephew used to date. When we move, I always supply drinks for the movers. The last two batches of movers didn't drink regular soda. They all drank either water or diet soda and a few of them drank Gatorade. So this last time when we moved in, I bought only a few regular sodas, tons of water and some Gatorade. Turns out they all drank regular soda so I had to send my dad to the store for more of it. Any leftovers were sent home with them along with all the pears they wanted to pick from my loaded trees.

You get so used to certain things, one being spilled drink = stickiness, that it stands out when it isn't the case.

Diet or regular?" And why? >I haven't spilled a diet drink yet, does it leave a sticky mess like a > sugared drink? |
