i used to never drink diet coke. i used to hate any kind of diet drink. i thought that they didn’t taste right and the artificial sweetness that they had was just disgusting. and so if you asked me about a year ago how i felt about diet coke, that’s exactly what i would have told you.

last night, i had some friends over and they were commenting that i had a lot of diet coke. it’s true, target currently has them on sale, 2-12 packs for $6. cheap! so i got a small stockpile of them in my refrigerator and kitchen floor. see, the thing about diet coke is that i used to hate it, but now normal coke tastes weird to me. it’s sad, but true.

whenever i was at christi’s place, she’d always only have diet coke available because that’s all she drinks. i really wanted some soda and that’s all she had, so i sucked it up and hated it. this pattern kept repeating itself until i slowly started to tolerate diet coke. now, it has become my preference. sad, but true.
