[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, Diet Coke was launched at the height of Boomer (and GenX) diet culture. My MIL, age 75, still packs her refrigerator/freezer and pantry with low-fat, low sugar everything to include Diet Coke. Brands you forgot about: Lean Cuisine, Crystal Lite - if it’s a snack food with Nutrasweet, she’s buying it so that she can “save” her calories. She’s also tells everyone she “fasts” ahead of any big special occasion meal so that she can “really indulge, guilt free.” MIL likely due to aging is thinner and scrawnier than ever.[/quote]
