Diet Coke wasn't invented until 1982. Over 60 years after coke. Oh and coke use to have real sugar too... damn things tasted better back in the day!

Oh and this picture is of a diet coke 2 liter with a mentos put in it...

Wow, 1982. As for the mentos and diet soda I let my 12 year old daughter play with some last year. She had a blast.

The weird thing is diet coke is supposed to be worse for you than real coke. Not until 1982, it sounds about right.

I don't drink diet sodas as most have aspertame in them and that is bad for me.

If it's not real sugar I don't want to know what it is. Glad I'm a water drinker.
