[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get a craving for a Diet Coke regularly, you don't hate soda. If you find the act of drinking a Diet Coke enjoyable, then "tastes like something enjoyable." You are being weird about this. There's nothing wrong with enjoying soda. There are health reasons someone might choose not to drink it, or to limit how much they drink, but it's a sweet, fizzy beverage that was scientifically formulated to be enjoyable. You enjoy it. You're just like everyone else![/quote] I don’t enjoy it enough to buy a case and stock it at home.[/quote] That's different from "I hate soda." You like soda, you just don't drink it very often. People use soda as a class signifier. That's what is actually happening here. You don't think of yourself as the type of person who drinks soda (poor, uneducated, unhealthy) so you claim to hate it, but actually you like it. And that's why you crave it occasionally and then drink it and enjoy drinking it.[/quote]
