I used to drink diet coke a fair amount, I preferred it to "real" coke. I heard somewhere that that was because the artificial sugar was addictive, but maybe it was also the higher caffeine content?

Until I did my MSc I didn't like coffee. Actually I didn't like it much then, but when I was in the US coffee was free but you had to pay for diet coke, so I started drinking coffee. Now I quite like it (as long as has lots of milk and sugar and isn't very strong...)
