Default Ever stop to think about WHY you love that diet soda?

Think about it. Despite all the scary stuff it does (and, boy, does it ever) you can't let it go. There are a lot of us who would recognize that in ourselves as being a big warning of addiction. It seems to make you feel good, doesn't it? Better than water? Lemonade? etc

Why? Because it speeds up your brain the way nitro does an auto engine. Saw you were a NASCAR fan. Run one engine nomally and another with a nitro kit - how many miles will each rack up before turning into scrap?
