Advantages: almost Calorie FREE

Disadvantages: lots of additives

I love Diet Coke, although not as much as the full fat, full of sugar, original version. But I prefer to buy the Diet version so I don't feel so guilty drinking it and worry about putting on weight.

Some people say that you're not going to loose weight drinking Diet Coke, but that is not why I drink it. I drink it because it only contains 0.5 calories per 100ml and 0 grams of sugar. The taste is difficult to describe, a bit metallicy and syrup. The colour of it is dark brown and is carbonated. Perfect served chilled to quench your thirst on a hot sunny day.

Im a size 10 and not overweight, so by drinking the Diet version I can keep my weight the same and not put on weight and still enjoy the great taste! Still Im not saying Diet Coke is good for you, possibly worse for you than Full fat coke, because it contains a lot of additives, especially aspartame, which I think is dangerous. This is why I dont tend to drink it too often, only when I need an energy boost as it contains caffiene aswell and it really does the trick.

The packaging is Silver with the word Coke in RED and Diet in Black. It comes in all different sizes, 2litre bottle, 1.25litre share size bottle, Cans and mini cans so you can pop them in your bag.

Summary: a great drink but should not be drunk to often
