Free sodas are a dime a dozen around here. But a free Diet Coke freshly poured over Denny’s ice in a Denny’s cup with a descriptive little note? A find like this this doesn’t happen every day. This one occurrence alone is nearly a miracle.
Now, let me start by saying that I prefer regular Coke. Although, this isn’t to say I won’t drink Diet Coke. I just figured I’d mention it, on the off chance someone intentionally left this for me.
Now, unless this particular Diet Coke fairy was periodically returning to add ice, based on the temperature and “watery-ness” of this Diet Coke, I assume it was approximately an hour old. A little riper than I prefer my diet soda but still refreshing.
The fake sugar was clearly still intact and it tasted almost as good as the real stuff. And though the bubbles had begun to slightly decrease in population, it was still bubbly enough to keep me slurping and making that “ahhhh” sound.
The reduction in bubbles and noticeably watery nature of this Diet Coke result in a deduction of 3 plastic forks. But the fact that I LOVE drinking out of straws compels me to add one fork back. But because this Diet Coke didn’t come with a straw and I had to search for one I am forced to take that last fork back. Final score - 2 out of 5 plastic forks.
