diet coke

One of my favorite things to hear occurs when I'm at a fast food restaurant, like McDonald's. It's when a person (generally larger, but not always) will order a meal, supersize it, and then when the employee asks, "What would you like to drink with that?" the person responds, "Diet Coke." Ok, so some people might really prefer the taste of Diet Coke to Coke, but I'm willing to bet that most of the people ordering the Diet Coke are doing so to "watch their calories." HELLO. You just ordered a 1/4 lb. burger with extra large fries, and you really think the coke you would be drinking is the problem? Seriously people. Supersized meals and diet cokes were not invented to go with each other. In fact, I propose that all fast food restaurants eliminate diet drinks from the list of drinks someone who buys an extra large meal can order. I find it preposterous.
