Coke Zero

I work near Penn Station in Manhattan. Frequently, there are free samples of products being distributed in front of Penn Station. As a bonafide schnurra (cheapskate), I always take whatever it is they are distributing. Sometimes, I even get multiple quantities of whatever it is they are giving out. Even though I don't have a dog and don't need 6 cans of dog food I take it. I think I get a "free" rush of some sort. Perhaps with a little push, I could be a kleptomaniac. I'm always trying to set new goals.

Anyways, yesterday as I was going home walking past Penn Station, I got a free bottle of Coke Zero. Like it's name Coke Zero has no calories. As someone who doesn't drink much soda, soda is a novelty. I took a few gulps and found myself getting thirstier and thirstier. When I got home, I dumped out the "undrunk" soda. I was still incredibly thirsty. I finally doused my thirst with a glass of orange juice.

I guess it's fine not to have any calories. But G-d knows what all the ingredients are in there. And surely to make money, the product has to make you want more.

Consumer Marty gives Coke Zero a zero. If you're worried about the calories, drink water.
