*****

The Coca Cola Company says: The most popular sugar-free drink in America, it’s the one that started the fun with its clean, crisp, refreshing taste and stylish can. The original drink for people who want great taste without any of the calories, Diet Coke is a classic.

We say: The Imbibable.com office is staffed with a horde of Diet Coke lovers. Plus, we were born of the loins of Diet Coke lovers, so there’s really no way for us to deny the attraction to this stuff. During Washington DC’s horribly humid Augusts, Diet Coke offers an unmatched morning buzz, one not weighted down by milk, or calories. However, Diet Coke does have some unattractive side effects: wearing away of tooth enamel and yellowing of teeth! Not good.

For this reason, we limit ourselves to one can per day. This ensures that we never get tired of the biting, acidic, nearly gut-wrenching kick Diet Coke provides. And we ever get tired of drinking it, the soda is always perfect for a rousing mentos-involving experiment:




Oh, 2006, you were a fun year

Naked Juice says: Okay, so our OJ is just OJ, as defined by: Just the gorgeous, pristine, oh so sweet juice of the amazingly perfect orange, with tons of Vitamin C and sensational antioxidants to ruin a free radical’s day. It’s also just O-J, as in 9 oranges just picked, squeezed, bottle and rushed to your eager, orange-juice-loving but preservative-loathing self. So just shake, just chug and just say “I just love this stuff.”

We say: We had a brief moment of worry upon consuming 9 ORANGES in twenty minutes. My God, if the people who ran those eating competitions also allowed juicers, we might be able to beat the Black Widow of competitive eating, Sonya Thomas. Of course, if she also had a juicer than the edge would be moot.

While it seems a bit cliché to rate the first drink review a 5-star drink, we have to say that the only way you could possibly get better orange juice would be to travel to Florida and drink freshly-squeezed juice. Oh, you say that you can make better fresh orange juice at home? Well, you are wrong because it is not possible.
