I Googled "Surrender" which led me here http://surrenderdorothy.typepad.com/surrender_dorothy/my_people.html and I saw her mention of falling in love with you over your Diet Coke post, which led me here. Now I know why. As a die-hard Diet Pepsi addict, I share your passion for the no cal, brown bubbly drink. (Okay, you're on the wrong team, but I'll overlook that.) In fact, I've led brief seminars on how to make the perfect Diet Pepsi Slushy. (Leave it in the freezer just until you see the crystals forming. If you overshoot the mark, bang it on the floor to smash the ice inside... then wait a good 5 min. before opening.) Should have known you come from advertising, because you know how to punch it. And isn't it fun to write something that's all yours, not mutated by a client/acct. team? You're inspiring me, sistah! Here’s what happened.

I've tried them all and I SWEAR they put Lysol in some of them. The vitamin crap lost its fizz in 24 seconds flat. And yet I am so forgiving, too. Perhaps an intervention with the little bugger would help. I can’t begin to express how much this post hit home. I’ve tried them all and I SWEAR they put Lysol in some of them.

Here was my thinking back then: NO sodium, NO calories, NO aspartame, NO caffeine — nothing but chemicals, which I am sure will keep me well preserved into my dotage. But the siren song of caffeine was irresistible once I stopped producing and feeding babies, so I dumped Diet Rite flat and headed straight for DC. No looking back. How else could I blog until 2 or 3 in the morning? I’ve recently revived my relationship with DC, after years with Diet Rite.

If I didn't have DC I would curl up & die. It is the nectar of the Gods. They really should make a patch so I can get off the stuff.
