Pop, soda, fizzy drinks.  They are nice to have but by no means a necessity.   We don't have pop in the house very often but when we do we only ever buy Coke or Sprite.  With trying to diet I have been avoiding all pop as they are useless empty  calories.  But while I was having lunch out this week I really wanted something other then water to drink so I picked up a Coke Zero.  And surprisingly it wasn't bad.  It didn't have the metallic aspartame taste that turns me off of most diet pops.  So we'll pick up a few cans today and have them on hand as a no calorie tasty treat for the week.
