Dear Diet Coke,
The first time I tasted you on my lips. I will never forget. We have been through a lot together.
Early morning drop-offs.
Holding on to every inch of life the morning after a night downtown.
My afternoon pick-me-up.
My after-dinner drink.
My tummy hurts for no reason.
A five a.m. hurricane evacuation.
I need to get through this day of work without getting myself fired.
Long afternoons in the carpool line.
Thank you for being a constant. This world is always changing. But you stay the same.
You have been with me through celebrations, stressful moments, and ordinary days.
I know you have gotten a bad rap in the past. But you are making a comeback. I promise to stand up for you against all the haters. We have grown stronger as a community.
You are no longer just a drink, but a personality trait.
Diet Coke is cool again.
I am proud to sport the silver can.
So thank you for that tiny moment of joy that comes with the first crisp sip.
Yours Always,
A Diet Coke Diva
