Well, you have to 'save' calories where you can :) I don't know if I could order a regular as I'm so used to diet ones

Well, I don't get a double burger or large fries, but I get Diet Coke because I prefer the taste. And, really, a 12 oz. diet coke, instead of regular coke eliminates like 240 calories.

No matter how little, isn't that still better than a double cheeseburger, large fries, and a REGULAR Coke?

Some people just have gotten used to the taste of diet coke. I'm one of those people--I hate the super-sugary taste of a lot of soft drinks.
I wouldn't go so far as to get the super size, but I do sometimes get a burger, fries and diet soda.

Because for some people like me, I have one day a week that I can eat things like cheeseburgers and fries (as long as I am sensible about it), but having a regular cola will through the calorie intake over my limit for the day.

I worked at mcdonalds and my favorite order was the double quarter pounder with cheese super sized with a diet coke.....if you're gonna eat all that fat you may as well just go for the regular coke.

I guess they think the diet Coke will counteract the fat in the other stuff. I always wondered this myself. I see people at break all the time get a chocolate bar and a diet drink....

I have been drinking diet soda since TAB and Fresca were the only diet sodas on the market. Now that is a long time so drinking diet soda is a habit and i really do not like the syrupy sweet flavor of regular soda.

That's known as brain derailment or self delusion. Anyone knows that drinking diet coke helps you lose weight. Of course, to balance what they're taking in they would have to drink several gallons of it ....
But it is laughably common, isn't it?
Just a thought -- do you suppose they like the taste of it? Nahh. Couldn't be that.

I have to admit, I go to fast food places and get diet coke....but I like the taste of diet better than regular!
