Hump Day Poll

Good day to you all on this last Wednesday of August!   We have been in the declutter mindset but many of you know I get overwhelmed by where the heck to start because of our small, less than 1000 sq ft abode.  I've gotten help from things like sliding baskets in cabinets, little things that help with space like mug stackers for mugs,  and of course little pantries to be able to stock up on stable stuff when sales roll around.   Those things help when you've got a home in mind but for me, it's how to mentally push myself to start because it all looks so untacklable.  (New word alert.)   One of the best pieces of advice I ever got on that front was from my friend who said to tackle one small section at a time.  Like, say in your kitchen - do 1/4 of the total countertop area.  If you do more than that, all the better but you don't have to do anymore than a 12" space at a time.   I've also heard setting a timer for 10 minu...

Food Review: Fiesty Cherry Diet Coke

Diet Coke has been pretty jazzed about their newly redesigned cans as well as new flavors, and it might have you intrigued.  I'm not a diet soda fan at all.  You don't want to know what I say it tastes like but that's neither here nor there.  The Mr doesn't care for it either but he's been known to drink a Diet Dr. Pepper on extremely rare occasion so he was curious to see if the Fiesty Cherry Diet Coke tasted similar.


The can is snazzy, as intended.

Here are the nutritional facts:


A peek at the actual ingredients.


So what did the Mr think?


It tasted nothing like Diet Dr. Pepper and he said there was an aftertaste, which I think is present with anything containing aspartame.  He asked if I wanted a sip so I took one.  I handed it right back to him.  Wasn't a fan before and not a fan now but again, I don't drink diet soda to begin with.  Anyone who is a diet soda drinker may think it's the bees patellas so don't take our word for it.  They have a myriad of flavors like Ginger Lime, Twisted Mango, Zesty Blood Orange, in addition, to Fiesty Cherry.

Do you drink diet soda?  Have you tried the new flavors?

  1. I was a 5 bottle a day diet comer, quit 3 years ago and now it tastes like chemicals to me.

  2. I definitely fell for the marketing on this one. When they said "they nailed it" in the commercials I thought maybe they had finally found a way to make it taste good without that diet aftertaste - but no, it pretty much tastes the same to me, maybe slightly muted aftertaste.

  3. I can do diet pop with the "clear" pops, like Sprite or Squirt (my favorite) and flavors like orange and root beer. But I've never liked diet Coke or Pepsi.

  4. I have tried all of these. I drink soda rarely, but on occassion just need the caffeine. I don't drink coffee. The only one I would do again if needed would be the ginger lime. It had enough of a bite to drown out any other after taste. But as a whole, they wont make me knock a kid down to get to it.
