*Diet Coke… But Wait! There’s More!

Check this advertisement for Diet Coke Plus out:

What a genius idea! People are worried about the health concerns of drinking diet coke, so lets just throw in a few vitamins and call it healthy! In their defense, maybe you are getting a few extra vitamins here and there from drinking this… but come on, lets be real. Diet Coke? To get your vitamin fix? Now that makes me laugh. 

The sad thing about this is people actually buy into this stuff! The added vitamins distract consumers who may have had second thoughts about consuming diet coke. I’m sure they won’t think twice about drinking it, or drinking too much, because they are getting vitamins from it. Here are the real health facts of the product:

Mwahaha! This cartoon is titled “Diet Coke, You Are Insulting My Intelligence.” I love it. At least someone has enough sense to see through Diet Coke’s marketing tactics.
