    Diet Coke...

    Some bloke in the MEN drinks 18 cans of diet coke a day (42 litres a week apparently). The link to the article is below but here's a pic of the guy:

    What the hell would he be like if it was the proper coca-cola stuff!?

    mmmmm diet coke

    Strangely I often have a craving for diet coke after a run, I have no idea why but there you go. I couldn't drink 18 cans a day even if I wanted to, it's not 42 litres either, more like 6 litres. Still ridiculous

    edit - 42 litres is per week apparently.

    Sorry, meant 42 litres a week but I couldn't be arsed doing the maths anyway so that's why I put 'apparently'.

    Sod it, may as well do it now:

    18 x 330ml = 5,940ml

    5940ml x 7 = 41,580ml

    That's a lot of coke!

    Re: Diet Coke...

    If I drank 18 cans in one day I wouldn't be able to sleep for a month, I have enough trouble as it is remembering to go to bed

    I once worked with a young guy who came into the office after being out clubbing the previous evening. By 10am he'd sunk 10 cans of red bull and was 'buzzing'. By mid afternoon he was dying on his ass however and I enjoyed it greatly.

    Re: Diet Coke...

    I come past my local Tesco on the wayto school and there are always kids coming out, on their way to school eating things like doughnuts and crisps, well the other day a lad was coming out drinking a can of Red Bull so I went in and spoke to one of the managers about it, basically I aked him if he thought it was apprpriate that they should be selling this stuff to kids, he agreed with me that he though it was not but said there are no restrictions on the sale. I am going to takethis further and try to get them to stop selling it to kids as well as 'junk food' between the hours of say 8 and 9 am I realise it raises lots of issues but as a (primary)teacher I am appalled to think that secondary school kids can sit in a lesson having just had a can of this crap as well as a massive sugar dose, associated e numbers etc. As a parent I am also appalled that Tesco are allowed to sell this stuff t my kids at all, let alone before school. Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread but I would appreciate any thoughts or advice about how to proceed because I WILL NOT LET IT LIE!!!
    I'm gonna get that cwazy gwouse...
