My co-workers husband works in management at McDonald's. I asked her what is the difference between McDonald's diet coke and DC everywhere else? She told me they refrigerate the syrup stuff. So that's why it's so refreshingly cold . . . as opposed to a room temp. syrup/carbonation water mixture poured over ice. And my apologies if someone already mentioned that. I think I only read about half your comments on this HOT topic.heidiramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622845004432537035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272160714315459088.post-72291153930914031922010-10-22T17:09:52.168-05:002010-10-22T17:09:52.168-05:00The comments were as good as the post!

I've been trying to lose weight and I've lost 18 pounds in 3 months. (Thankyouverymuch). I am so mad at myself about the fries though. I don't even feel good about it, so I'm kind of thinking I should "punish" myself if I indulge like that again with an extra 30 minutes of cardio or something. That'll be a good smack on the hand for me. <br />I think your original system was genius. You were diluting the intake of diet coke! <br />I heard McDonald's adds sugar to their food because sugar is addicting. No wonder they're so stinking successful. <br />Oh, I hope you don't mind my long comment, but can I add that those Monopoly pieces have been destructive to my family's overall health. My husband is so into those! He is seriously carrying around their Monopoly board in his wallet. He won a Disneyland ticket years ago and now he's obsessed.

When you don't absorb magnesium there are all sorts of effects. Restless leg syndrome for one. Also, insomnia, constipation, leg cramping etc. It's an important element.<br />2 - My father-in-law just lost 75 lbs by not drinking soda. 75 POUNDS. That tells me a) soda is super bad for us and b)my father-in-law was/is an addict.<br />3 - I had an uncle who after years of being addicted to Mt. Dew got to the point that he had to sleep with a cooler of it by his bed so he could guzzle it all night long. Also, he broke out in these crazy, nasty hives all over his body and his Dr. said it was because of the Dew addiction. He also died of cancer, but I don't know if that was related to his Dew habit - but I wouldn't be surprised.<br /><br />Then again my dad always says he'd be translated up to heaven like the City of Enoch if he didn't have at least one Diet Coke per day. That's why you do it right? ;-) Oi...I gotta stop drinking the stuff.Em-Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16451507780626179057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272160714315459088.post-33831022370862389732010-10-20T23:56:15.333-05:002010-10-20T23:56:15.333-05:00Welcome to my world, where cancer-laden beverages ...Welcome to my world, where cancer-laden beverages get me through the day without having to rely on hard drugs to push through without falling asleep at the supper table.

I pee'd a lot, and they couldn't write me up. I hated that job.<br /><br />Now, I've gone 4 days without any caff-cola. Missla was sweet enough to buy me a box of neutered Dr. Pepper. Before 5 months ago, I went 4-5 years without caff.<br /><br />I'd steer clear of the McFattys, because their food doesn't decompose: http://bit.ly/9rEEja They're definitely putting something in it.<br /><br />My vice is solder fumes.

i ha...thank you lauren, for the no-pressure intro.<br /><br />i have never even tasted dr. pepper, diet coke, root beer, or any other brown colored cola beverage. not because i'm super healthy, but because they are super unhealthy. i am not even ashamed anymore to act like a condescending, judgmental jerk when i tell people that there is no reason they should be drinking it. i suppose the occasional indulgence in any unhealthy yumyum is fine, right, since i ate 3 oreos last night, which is essentially the same thing, but the bottom line is if one feels like one must consume something such that it has become an addiction, then one must seriously consider giving up said yumyum. and after considering it, one must then do it. <br /><br />i'm sure you didn't even see that one coming.the wrath of khandreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124348938056284964noreply@blogger.com
