Haha! I know some one who smokes and drinks coke all the time. When he visited my mom and me, he put out his cigarettes in the coke cans. I didn't know he did this and yelled at my mom, "Why aren't you recycling these?" Then I could smell the cigarette in there and shoke the can and asked my mom, "Is there a cigarette in there?" Then she told me he always puts out his cigarettes in the coke cans.

I'm sure at nearly 30 I should've grown out of rotting my teeth away with pure nothing-but-calories sugar and E numbers, but I cannot stop drinking Coke and all its fizzy syrupy caffeinated relatives. I've given up a few times but there's always some excuse for just one (usually a groggy morning after not enough sleep, as I'm not a big coffee drinker) and then I'm drinking it every day again.
(And for people who don't really drink lager it's all too convenient, on its own or as a mixer, when you're out, as something you know the bar will always have, and then you keep drinking it, and then you don't sleep so well so the next morning you're loafing grumblingly around the flat and thinking "blah, what will make me feel more alive right now? man I sure could go for an ice-cold Coke", and then...)

I used to drink diet to get away from all the empty calories...I didn't know at the time but there's really nothing 'diet' about DC and in fact it may be worse for you than regular Coke. I dropped 10 pounds the month after I quit even though I didn't really change my diet in any other way; crazy.

There are theories that artificial sweeteners make you crave other sweet things or trigger hunger thereby making you eat more than you normally would. I'm not really sold on them though and in and of itself - DC is calorie free.

I love Coke, but I only drink it after I've exercized like a maniac for 2-6 hours, basically the only time at which it can supply your body with anything nutritious (replenishing depleted glycogen stores in this case).
I used to subscribe to the myth that mexi-coke >>> regular coke, but I really think that everything tastes better out of glass. I recently had a regular coke in a glass bottle and it tasted >>>>> than the very same coke out of can or plastic. it tasted almost* like mexican coke.
*almost! and 50%+ cheaper!

That's basically it...I've heard that it kind of prevents you from burning fat and that it can do other weird things to you. All I'm saying is that if you're a heavy drinker of any diet cola, try quitting for a couple weeks and see if you lose weight. I'm not really going to quit completely; I mean it's not THAT bad, but it's a good thing to try to remove from your daily routine. Lately I've been drinking the Arnold Palmers from Arizona Tea, which obviously aren't really good for you either, but they're a little better and less fattening. I guess as I get older the idea of really sugary drinks just doesn't appeal to me (surprise); I literally cannot drink an entire Mountain Dew anymore. I used to pound those things when I was 15.
