one of my friend's mother used to only buy diet coke, never regular coke. she had by the case, so there was always plenty. since there was no real soft drinks, when we hung out at his house we would drink her diet cokes. she didn't like us drinking them, so she told us that diet coke gave kids under 10 cancer. we never drank them again.
