because I know you were wondering...

If you mix equal parts OJ and diet cola, it tastes just like fizzy OJ. Of course this is Safeway diet cola - results may vary with other, more expensive brands. But not likely.

I actually mix lemonade with diet cola in fast food restaurants, because I hate cola but also am not fond of sugar. And actually lemonade out of a soda fountain tends to be way too strong for my palate in any case.

you can do the same thing by adding seltzer, you know
and you don't get any of the nutrasweet oddness

I am strangely immune to nutrasweet oddness.

Plus, you know, seltzer isn't as good a diuretic as diet cola!

try this:

2 parts cola
1 part apple juice
1 tbl. lemon juice

I swear to God this tastes good. LOL Me and my cousin used to make these drinks when we were younger and would spend the night at my grandma's house!

What works for me is gin. :-)

They sort of frown on that in the eating establishments I frequent. I guess they're classier than the ones in Ohio.

Classier? Honey, gin is class in Ohio. Crass is Budweiser. :-)

so you're telling me you can walk into a burrito joint, pull out a fifth of gin, and no one will kick you out?

Re:

What's a burrito joint? We only have corn here.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

oooh, see, they pound the corn and make a flour-type thingy, and use that to make flatbread and wrap up meat and cheese and rice and beans!

Does it taste like apples? I like apples but not apple juice, typically, since it's so sweet.
