I am known for being a little bit of a Diet Coke head. I can definitely survive without it, but I would either need an alternative such as Coke Zero or a bottle of Advil liquid gels to help deal with the caffeine withdrawal headaches. I am definitely not at the point where I need pure American 20 oz bottles of Diet Coke injected into my body to function. I went to London when I was a teenager, and I enjoyed trying the different soda options that were available in the United States. Tasting British Mountain Dew was a life-altering experience. Why is nobody talking about how much more delicious British Mountain Dew is than its American counterpart? That is a thinkpiece for another day. 

An American woman recently went viral for smuggling tons of bottles and cans of Diet Coke into Europe because the continent allegedly doesn’t have it, and it must be seen to be believed.
