So a guy comes in and orders triple scoop cup of chocolate ice cream
with hot fudge. Then he orders a DIET COKE! I just ask myself, "Why?"

[Grumpy]

Only in America. . .

Can you order a DOUBLE DOUBLE at In & Out
A large order of French Fries

and. ..a DIET COKE. . .

[GMC]

hmm, i wonder if he knows that lady that i had to move the turnstyle for today, just so that she could get into the station.

My guess is the person is diabetic. It takes food a while to break down but soda with sugar goes right into your veins. Might as well use a syringe.

Over at Burger Invasion, I had a guest order a Double Cheeseburger with NO CHEESE! She was a blonde...

He was watching his girlish figure.

[TheManator]

That sounds like something my dad would do.
People actually believe that drinking Diet Drinks does something; my dad has been drinking diet colas for a long time, and he's gained a lot of weight since then too.

When I was growning up my mom was a diabetic and I grew up drinking diet soda. After drinking that for so long I'm unable to drink regular soda because the taste is so thick and way too sweet.

I'm among the "guilty" who drink diet sodas with junk food. Hey, I'm not kidding myself, and I don't think the diet drinks offset the bad stuff. But I don't mind the taste of them, so why add to the junk by drinking a full-sugar cola?

[Lilo]

I'm not a stick, but I'm not really large either, and I love junk food. I almost ALWAYS get diet cokes or whatever. I'm not dilousional (sorry, can't spell), but I really just prefer the taste of diet. Regular colas are a bit too sweet for me.

But those people who are obese and get a jumbo supersized triple cheesebuger with extra fries, and think a diet coke will still help them loose weight... that's absurd!

Yeah, those are the people that just make us cock our heads down, and shake them.

Don't even get me started on Atkins diets ... Here's a good rant about it.

I've always been in good shape, tho I love ice cream and other goodies. I never order a soda with ice cream tho, but if I did, I'd order diet just becuase I acquired the taste for them years ago, :lol: and now can't stand regular sodas (except root beer and Squirt).

I saw an interesting LARGE guest last year. My wife and I got married in the park and in the morning we were having fun, going on rides. We were in the SAP line going into Pirates and ended up waiting for 45 minutes while no boat left the doc. Came to see (as people in front of us gave up and left in disgust) that a HUGELY fat woman was trying to get seated in a boat. I say TRYING, because she was so fat <chorus of "How fat was she?"> that her ass hit the top of the seat back, and her prodigeous belly hit the back of the seat IN FRONT OF HER, and she couldn't get any further down into the boat, and couldn't even touch the seat! After another 15 minutes of attempting to shoehorn this Hostess Ho-Ho hippo into the ride boat, they finally gave up and with the help of two construction derricks and Hercules himself, they hauled her 1.5 cubic acres of useless flesh out of the boat and back onto the dock.

The result? CHEERS FROM THE LOADING DOCK! THE GUESTS ALL DID A WAVE!!!

One would hope the shame of that encouraged her to diet...

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants).

Metabolic acidosis for those of you that don't know, hampers the discharge of hydrogen, and you will gain more weight than if you drank regular cola.

[GMC]

So that's why you gotta order diet coke with the super biggie wala bing bang. regular coke won't fat you fast enough.

in regards to the title of this thread... Is Jenny Craig in fact dead, or perhaps liying very still in her chose burial site...?

[coldfire409]

But if you are a diabetic then you have no choice than to order the diet coke insted of the regular. Remember you don't know why somebody is ordering a diet soda.

[lady ulrike]

It's true a diabetic does need diet soda, and being overweight can cause you to be diabetic, so that could be the reason.

But, on a side, yet related note. I was watching T.V. some show about all these people who had lost lots of weight. One of the ladies had gone to Disneyworld and couldn't fit in a lot of the rides (Rockin' Roller Coaster being one of them, I assume since she said something about a coaster that went upside down) So she decided it was time to lose weight so next time she'd be able to go on the rides. See, we're like a public service. :)

[leftcoaster]

And just think....

All those calorically challenged people really just beat the disease called Anorexia.

Hahaha thank god someone called me on that, I was wondering if you were going to accept such an outlandish tale.

I had to wonder if you really bought that -- but then I've seen people fall for a lot dumber stories.

Honestly, I keep the Snopes website bookmarked because I have a relative who repeatedly needs fact-checking. He'll mass-forward one of these "informative" emails, I'll reply with the Snopes article debunking it, and he'll say sorry. But then not too long later, I'll get a new mass mailing from him. <Sigh>

mmmmm......... Double-Double! Has any tried to eat a 4x4 at In-N-out?

:lol: Looked @ your post & reread a few xs. Decided not to comment because you are new & NOT abrasive. :) :)

I have a mother-out-law and sister-out-law that do the same thing.

They send out a mass mailing, and I hit "REPLY TO ALL." First words I say in BIG LARGE BOLD RED letters: URBAN MYTH! Then I cut and paste most of the snopes article, and also provide the link.

Usually I don't have to talk to my mother-out-law and my sister-out-law for several days, since I guess it makes them look STOOPID. And they are college educated people too. Then again it's "I read it on the internet, so it HAS to be true!" :roll:

[Agent_Orange]

I love reading Snopes, almost as much as I love reading stupid guest tricks.

Same here. I can sit and read random articles for hours. Have you seen their "Lost Legends" (fake) page?

[GMC]

no

I love that! I went thru the same a few years ago with my home email. As an IT guy, it really frosted my poptarts to keep reading these idiotic forward that the sender obviously hadn't looked into themselves, or else they'd have known it was bogus. I'd do the same thing - Reply All, but usually skipping the person who sent it to me, then ROAST THE SENDER'S A$$ to a crispy brownness. Didn't take long to get me off'n those people's email lists!

Exactly. This is why, when we get diabetes education when we're diagnosed, we're told to get a non-diet soda if we are hypo-gleicemic without glucose tablets or a piece of hard candy.

[smart1hermione]

of course i would never order a triple ANYTHING...

but i have to admit, i only like diet soda.

Probably.

We all know Fanta Orange is a nazi soft drink. It's a toss-up for evil beverage of choice.

When my nephew was 14 he announced to his mother that if he drank a bottle of Mountain Dew every day he couldn't get a girl pregnant. This resulted in an instant birds and bees discussion. I think there was also some oral hygiene thrown in for good measure.

[felinefan]

That thing about aspartame I saw on quackbusters.com; they say the same thing about aspartame breaking down over 86 degrees. It's also been blamed for Gulf War Syndrome; they have pallets of aspartame sweetened soda sitting out in 140 degree heat, and they drink it constantly. Sugar is Generally Accepted As Safe; your body breaks it down in nothing flat. Saccrine and other artificial sweeteners make you fat because they interfere with the breakdown process. Nobody got fat from drinking soda when they were made with sugar, now that sodas are made with corn sweeteners, people are getting fat from them; corn sweeteners also screw up your body processes.

With corn being used more for biofuel, they should go back to sweetening soda with sugar; we would all benefit from it.
