There was this one time when me and my sister were staring at a bottle of Diet Mountaindew on the table. Naturally, I went to grab it first but not until my older sister goes "You know, Diet Soda turns you into a skeleton if you're not fat." I was terrified and took a second glance at the Diet Mountaindew. Her little lie worked, unfortunately for me. I didn't drink any Diet drinks until I was I teen.
