>Once you start with diet pop, you can't stop. Growing up for some reason I always equated the taste of Diet Coke with toothpaste somehow, but when I moved in with my girlfriend and that was all she drank, I got hooked.

I was very healthy in my younger days and that is how I got started with diet pop. I am not so healthy anymore but I still prefer diet pop.
Do you guys refer to soda as pop in Iowa?
