You know, looking at a diet soda can it occurs to me that it might not be so wretched to me if the cans weren't so unpleasant

Like we know that things like color play a role in how our brain perceives things, and I realized looking at the can that they're always this bland but at the same time nasty looking silver and it just... it looks foul and I think that compounds with the fact that I also just plain don't like diet soda

My point here isn't to say anyone else shouldn't like diet soda, just how I never realized how much of an impact the can has on me not liking it... there's just something offputting about it to me

#I don't ever drink soda these days #like I drink so little soda that root beer is basically something I treat like a dessert at this point #and it's funny; cause I drank nothing but soda when I was a teen #it was just kinda like a switch flipped one day; no idea on why #which is a shame; cause I've known people who really really wanted to stop drinking soda and... I wish I could tell them what I did #but... I kinda didn't do anything; I just changed #would love if I could give practical advice #now; you'll never hear me shitting on people for drinking soda; or have me sitting here telling people how awful it is #we all know what soda is; I mean man... you wouldn't have helped me if you lectured me back when I was drinking nothing but soda #in fact you'd probably have held me back from whatever clicked to make me stop cause you would have annoyed me #...but I don't miss it; now it's so damn sweet to me cause I got sometimes years without drinking it #nah... occasional root beer at a specific pizza place or with dessert; that suits me just fine #anyway; what my real point was is take my thoughts on diet soda with that grain of salt that I don't like regular soda either #I'll take regular over diet any day cause I prefer the sweeteners... like... if it's gonna be a once in a blue moon thing #I know which sweetener I'd rather taste; and it's not gonna be that big a deal to me either way cause I have it so rarely #but yeah; when I make this observation know it comes from someone that never drinks soda #so it's not like my input is that important or useful #...and yet... I'm not gonna go look up how to spell it; but you know barques... barks? you know that one root beer has a silver can #and that wasn't as much of a problem though... I think that even though I liked it the can was a hang up for me that spoiled it a little #really I just like all the brands of root beer; they're all different; but all good in their own way #I should go to Japan and preform as a masochist for them; since my understanding is the general consensus there is #that root beer tastes like medicine; let me put on a show as a weird american who drinks the thing they think is bad and enjoys it
