Attack of the Diet Cokes

I was reading a Newsweek article the other day and found an interesting story entitled, “Attack of the Diet Cokes.” The story discusses America’s love for diet soda and focuses specifically on Diet Coke and the new version of Diet Coke with vitamins.

Did you know?

Aides to Harvey Weinstein are expected to have cans of Diet Coke ready at all times. A constant supply of the fizzy stuff is always kept in his limo as well.

Bill Clinton was known to order a large McDonald’s fries and a Diet Coke. He’s cut out the fries but still loves Diet Coke.

Jeffrey Katzenberg always starts his day with the liquid breakfast of Diet Coke.
Elton John has starred in two Diet Coke commercials and always drinks it at his concerts. You can his commercials here and here with Paula Abdul.

Victoria Beckham hates the taste of water so she drinks only Diet Coke.

John Caly’s caddies must not only carry around gold clubs but cans of Diet Coke on the course as well.

Remember this Diet Coke commercial where the women in the office go bonkers for the construction guy drinking Diet Coke?

This article sort of reminded me of my post about the Cult of Diet Coke. I’m interested to find out which celebrities prefer Diet Pepsi. Once I find out, you’ll be the first to know! I’ll be bringing you some awesome Diet Pepsi commercials next time. Hello, does anybody remember the hot Cindy Crawford commercial?
