    It's funny to me that you'd say Coke Zero is "Diet Coke for dudes." The local football stadium added Coke Zero to the fountain lineup this year. Early in the season, I went to the concession stand and ordered a Coke Zero. The old ladies behind the counter asked me "Is Coke Zero a guy drink or something?"

    I was kind of surprised by the question. According to the ladies working, nearly 100% of the people that ordered Coke Zero were men. Never really crossed my mind that "Coke Zero" was a man's drink. I just explained that it was a diet drink that tasted more like regular Coca Cola than Diet Coke.

    Anyway, I'm screwed. I drank Coca-Cola Zero to cut out sugar, but I've now given up caffeine for my blood pressure. No caffeine-free Coca-Cola Zero, so I'm limited to Diet 7UP now. I can't stand Diet Coke at all.

    Actually, it went like this:

    "Are you going to order something, kid?"

    "Um yeah, give me a Tab."

    "Tab, I can't give you a Tab unless you order something."

    "Then give me a Pepsi Free,"

    "If you want a Pepsi, pal, you'll haveta pay for it!"

    "Just give me something without any sugar."

    Remember, someone photoshopped a Gratefruit Crystal Light cannister?

    Thank you. Had a very nice Coke Zero and JD last night while watching baseball. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between regular and Coke Zero with the JD.
