Ever hooked on a diet drink? If not, you probably know someone who was having terrible headaches and ended up being told to give up the diet cola, and if they did (which was very hard to do) they felt much better, and probably began to tell others, "Hey, maybe that diet soda ain't such a good idea." But the media tells you: "Ain't so, Joe! You NEED this! You'll be slim and sexy in no time! People will want you. They will desire you. And those that don't will hate your guts because you are so, so, so sexy and slim and gorgeous!"
You've heard that these new-fangled sweeteners cause tumors to form in the brain. Hey, info gets out. It is downplayed, assuredly, the info, it is laughed at and jeered at, and probably Snopes.com does an "investigative" piece on the info. Matter settled. Now give me my diet soda, cuz if I don't get it, I don't feel too well, in fact I know the soda makers are good people, they are anointed, because I have come to rely on that metallic aftertaste, the one that tasted so WRONG when I began drinking it, but now tastes SO GOOD. Mmm-yeah. POW!
