Even my Catholic guilt couldn't overcome the satisfaction of that Whopper, but everyone knows that roadtrips require extraordinary nutrition and that the calories and fat don't really count.

>>I always have the Diet Coke too, mostly because pure sweet Coke is just too sugary for me.<<

Dale -

I was shocked recently to learn that Coca Cola not only has a ton of sugar in it, but also some salt. It has to have as much sugar as it does to mask the taste of the salt. The purpose of the salt is to keep you thirsty.

Nasty stuff.

I can't drink the Real Thing anymore, either. Have to have the diet version, to which I've become so accustomed that a regular coke tastes awful to me. But I suppose the diet coke also has a salt.
