This woman with two children and four nannies is Angelina Jolie arriving for a "family" holiday in the Galapagos Islands with Brad Pitt and the rest of their army of children, security and servants. The picture above was posted on twitter and it's hilarious to see how they really look when travelling when they're not expecting to be papped. What no happy faces and hand-holding with all eight of the family in shot? Below is one of their set-up pap shots. Quite the difference isn't it? They are now staying at the five-star Royal Palm Hotel Galapagos and rather than staying with the cerfs in the main hotel building, are booked into the exclusive oceanfront residence Escalesia, in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island. It has three ocean view bedrooms, infinity pool, whirlpool, steam bath, sea front sun deck and bar, total privacy, unobstructed views of Academy Bay and Santa Fe Island and a little house in the garden with two double beds and two single beds- which they can put the four nannies and two security in. Do you know that when Brad, Angelina, Maddox, plus Robyn his nanny and two security guards went on that first holiday to Kenya in 2005 when they were first christened 'Brangelina' (picture above) that Pitt nearly got his new family arrested? A source at the hotel they stayed in says that Brad had been seen smoking dope by the hotel pool and someone had smelt the strong smell of the hashish he was using and alerted the local authorities that drugs were on the property. Local's wages are very poorly paid in the African country and any cash is always particularly welcome so many Kenyans jump at the chance to make extra money from tipping off the Police about illegal activity, particularly when Western tourists are involved. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Kenya are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. Bribes are frowned on and local authorities would rub their hands with glee at the opportunity to arrest a high profile American celebrity and make an example of them or perhaps make him pay them off with a juicy bribe. Pitt had already left for Ethiopia as part of Bono's ONE campaign when the Police turned up to raid the Alfajiri Villas - along with two truck full of gun- toting soldiers. But Angelina, along with her employees and, worryingly, Maddox were still there when twenty Kenyans carrying guns swooped on their rooms. "The Police turned up and told hotel staff that they had received information and had warrants to search the guests rooms," says the former employee of the hotel. "They said they had reason to believe that drugs were being used on the property. They searched the rooms after seizing everyone's passport they went through their suitcases. Angelina looked frightened to death- clutching her son in her arms and telling him it was something to do with one of her films. Eventually they found nothing and gave their passports back and left." The police and soldiers eventually left empty-handed and a visibly-shaken Jolie and her entourage flew back to the UK. The shocking incident was kept out of the headlines with fans who were salivating over a made-up story about the new couple having such loud sex that hotel security thought Angelina was being mauled by a tiger ("never happened" says my source) having no idea how close Maddox's new daddy came to being hauled off in front of the youngster to a grubby Kenyan jail for questioning. Well played, Brad, well played.

It must be wonderful to be on one long vacation.
They are so close to "Columbia"…..Just sayin. Isn't it funny how these people travel very close to the biggest drug cartels in the world……….in their private jets, they don't have to go through security, and their private jet gets sit in a very secured hanger…. Yea, I am sure that Jolie's little promotion doesn't have anything to do with how "useful" she has been. What better way to cover an apparent smuggling operation, when you have the best front ever, 6 children. Remember Brad's statement? "I made a deal with the devil to get my movies made". Probably the first time that guy has ever been truthful.
I think he might be referring to the Rainman, when he's speaking about the "deal". Many artists refer to him in their songs…
The butch Asian nanny who Jolie took as her date last year in Croatia is there too I see.
interesting comment on the bathroom? because he looks like he doesnt' shower?
I would love to go there. I want to be rich people
He's lucky they didn't put his name on the "search at the airport" list.
i can just see Shi running aound the Galapagos catching lizards
Before I got to the end of this I was thinking of the story when they were burst in on my soldiers because of their loud sex noises. And now we know the truth….Hopefully we'll get more of these revelations as they plummet….
Love all your posts on the Brange — please keep 'em coming!! This couple has absolutely fascinated me from the beginning. And to hear these truths coming out now is both horrifying and totally compelling. Now, if someone (like YOU, Bomo??) could write a screenplay (or a book) revealing the true story form beginning to end….well now THAT would be a blockbuster. Love your blog!
one question bohomoth why does brad always get away with things?? tell me has ever understood how he treated jen and was he truly sorry for it? amongst they many other little things he gets a free pass on. it just feels like such an injustice, because i believe jolie will get what she deserves but he wont.
Hi Bohomoth, I am totally fascinated by your articles, too! They are so different from anything I've read in the mainstream media. However, one sentence in the post above made me roar with laughter: "… and a little house in the garden with two double beds and two single beds- which they can put the four nannies and two security in." I think it's sort of unkind to force every two nannies to share one bed, but hey whoever in the world would have been prepared for the size of their entourage?
Also, I think it's funny that Brad left the smell of his hashish behind without being around when the Kenyan police raided the place. Lucky guy – imagine he had made the headlines for all the wrong reasons! He's soooooo image-conscious this would have given him a heart attack – there's no accident in the fact that people still think Jen didn't want his babies and Angie was the evil home wrecker. It is because he seems so protective of himself he wouldn't say he left because he wanted to and not because it's somebody else's fault.
I have a question: I know this is an old story but what do you think caused the split between him and Gwyneth Paltrow? I have seen all sorts of stories, including the one where she cheated on him and I can't imagine what broke them up. After all, he called her "my angel, the love of my life" right when he got his first and only Golden Globe. Did their love go cold after two years? Did she discover he was cheating on her? (Recently she said she used to have a boyfriend who cheated on her all the time and she was stupid enough to trust.) Or did she get tired of the fact that he didn't shower that often? I know I seem to expect too much from your knowledge but your insights are fascinating, so no wonder I've ended up with high expectations. As for the story that Gwyneth cheating on Brad, somehow I don't buy it and that's because I think it lets him go off scot-free one more time.
I work in West Africa and drugs and gays are not tolerated. AT ALL. respect the local culture people. Believe me, you don't want to do time in a jail in Africa.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
why do you spit so many lies?? who pay you to spread lies without even sign YOUR NAME, journalist-for-one-day?? if this is true why don't you put the name of your "insider" and present PROVES and DOCUMENTS?? it´s ease to spit trash lies, without responsibility??
the police receive a tip?? they search the house?? Angie was scared?? so many BS?? it´s incredibly that you still have a job?? why nobody have report that in local news?? the police, the hotel staff, the paparazzi, nobody see nothing to report??
go work for a fiction studio instead a poor Site of trash lies??
why don't you sign your name?? it´s better do not have a face when you spread lies?

"I had a destination wedding and we had a reception when we came back. Since the wedding and reception was in the winter, I wanted to do a winter wonderland theme in red and white. This invite was exactly what I was looking for! I have had so many nice compliments on these invites."
"We chose this card in the moss green color. It is such a charming invite. We chose the card for it's lovely design and simple elegance. It inspired us to plan our cocktail party around the colors of the invitation, green and white. Lots of pine boughs and white candles. Will definitely order from Tiny Prints again. Superb quality!"
"I could not be happier! Our invitations arrived very quickly. Everything was done extremely well, from the packaging and invoicing to the quality of the invitations. I have never had such quick, professional service and will definitely be using Tinyprints again! Thank you for making this part of the party stress free!"
"This is a very nice design that required little alteration from the original sample. I did change the party details from red font to green as the red was a little hard to read and the green helped it stand out a bit better against the black background. I really like the size of these invitations as they won't get lost in the mail and are easy to read. The design was also an easy match for stock Avery address labels so it was simple to create affordable matching labels."

text: I found a Japanese Chin in December and no one ever claimed him so I ended up keeping him. I took him to the vet and had him checked out and got his shots in January and she thought he was between 3-4 years old. He is one of the best dogs I have ever had. I have three other inside dogs and he gets along great with them. My question is, he is more like a stuff animal. I bring him to work with me and he stays in his bed about all day. Even when clients come in he does not get up. He does not play much with the other dogs, when he walks he walks really slow and he never shows any emotions so it's hard to tell if he is happy or not feeling well. Do these dogs not show any emotions or should I take him to the vet and have some blood work done on him?

LANDOVER, Md. — Jason Garrett may yet be canned, but to his credit and that of his players no one on his watch has raised the white flag on Captain Jerry's yacht, the S.S. Interesting.Nearing the conclusion of his third full season as Cowboys head coach, we know what this team does well under Garrett: Try hard, stay with it, and be relevant.Sunday's entertaining (good show, Jerry) 24-23 win against the Redskins gives the Cowboys yet another win-and-they're-in season finale. Unlike the previous two years, Garrett was always going to return regardless of outcome in those games in 2011 and 2012.Despite reports from ESPN's Ed Werder that this whole staff assumes it will be fired if the Cowboys don't win the NFC East on Sunday night, or the ranting from Fox's NFL analyst Terry Bradshaw that Garrett is a yes man, the reality is no one knows.We don't know because Jerry doesn't know. He plans on winning; there are no contingencies based on losing. Not such a bad way to approach life."I haven't taken a breath since July not thinking that I can still walk out in the Super Bowl," Jerry said.Whatever you think of the Cowboys, or Garrett as a head coach, this is a hard team to kill, and a hard coach to fire.Sunday was another piece of evidence of both.Play smart? Not always.Play well? Sometimes.Play hard? Other than that dog against the Saints earlier this year, nearly 100 percent.This creates a serious problem for Jerry. It is hard to fire a coach when the players have not quit on him, but a bit easier when the results are not there.The irony is the reason Jerry hired Garrett in the first place was the perception that his intellect would make for a brilliant game manager/play caller. In reality, Garrett's best attribute has been his ability to lead, inspire and motivate, which have compensated his sometimes disastrous play-calling and game management."I focus on doing my job as well as I can do it," Garrett said. "The emphasis that's been placed on players and coaches in this league for a long time is, 'Do your job as well as you can do it each and every day.' "Somewhere in there is an even greater emphasis was placed on 'Win.'Only a few hours after Bradshaw ranted on air that Garrett, "Is no head coach [who] never should have been hired in the first place; he's a yes man for Jerry Jones" the team rallied for its most inspired performance in his tenure.(C'mon, Terry. Dave Campo, that was a yes man.)Similar emotional highs and lows this team has endured on Garrett's watch have killed other teams (the Giants this year), and coaches (Mike Shanahan comes to mind)."I'm really proud for him," Jerry said. "I thought he did an outstanding job of getting this team from the obvious, and that is having a tremendous disappointing loss against Green Bay. It was a killer, and it was something that was a real challenge for a coach to get them to come back and play well."Sunday was Garrett saying he is not going gently into any goodnight.That was never more apparent than with the Cowboys down 23-14 with 9:07 remaining in the game. They faced a fourth-and-1 and lined up to go for it from the 35. The old Coach Process would have settled for the long field goal.Even after Cowboys tackle Doug Free was called for a false start, the team went for it on fourth-and-6 and converted it for a season-saving, career-extending first down.Even after Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray comically took a 9-yard loss on third-and-goal from the 1 to fourth-and-the-season, there was faith.If we are going to kill Garrett for his play-calling against the Packers, he deserves praise for his team keeping the faith against the Redskins."You have to have a stronger belief in yourself than the doubt of other people," quarterback Tony Romo said.The run/pass thing is maddening, the football IQ may range from perplexing to drunk to stupid, but the effort is usually there. His guys play, and at least verbally they get it."In the huddle, before the last drive, we said the season was on the line," guard Ron Leary said. "We were not ready to hang the season up. We looked at each other and said, 'It's on us.' "Now, if we can disregard Sunday's win was against a team that has not won since Nov. 3, is on their backup quarterback, and now has the second-worst record in the NFL, pop the cork.It is the 17thweek of the NFL season, and the Cowboys can win the NFC East and host an NFC playoff game.Jerry's planning on both, and for Jason Garrett to remain his head coach.As to the contingencies, we are all merely guessing.

The Mingana Collection is made up of over 3,000 Middle Eastern manuscripts in over 20 languages, which include Arabic, Syriac, Ethiopic, Georgian, Hebrew, Samaritan and Armenian. This unique and rich collection was brought together during the 1920s by Iraqi priest, Alphonse Mingana, who had settled in England.
The collection came to be cared for by the University of Birmingham Special Collections when the Selly Oak Colleges merged with the University in the 1990s.
The 26 illustrations here can only give a flavour of the riches available for research or consultation.
The value of the collection to scholarship is enormous: the Syriac section with its 662 manuscripts rates third in the West after the British Museum and the Vatican Library; the Christian Arabic section is surpassed in the West only by the Vatican Library and the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris.
The collection is made up of:
There are also examples of Armenian, Coptic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Persian, Samaritan and Sanskrit manuscripts.
The whole collection is also important from a palaeographical perspective in terms of the use of different media: vellum, parchment and the early use of paper; for examples of early bindings showing Middle Eastern binding techniques, and of how a book is put together – the book as an artefact, a work of art.
The collection has been 'Designated' as being of outstanding international importance by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). Find out about the Designation Scheme (now administered by the Arts Council, England).

Favorite Diet Sodas?
- David Kahn Jul 10, 2006 12:31 AM
What are your favorite diet sodas?
Right now, I'm really liking Stewart's Diet Black Cherry Wishniak (whatever that is). It's on the edge of being too sweet, but it has a really nice, rich cherry soda flavor, and it feels almost creamy in the mouth. Very nice stuff.
Any other really good ones out there that I need to sample?
re: makalive45
My tasting mechanism throws fits when it detects artificial sweeteners of any kind whatsoever. For some reason, the black-cherry flavor of Dr. Pepper masks that taste almost perfectly, and so that's the only diet soda I can abide. I might try some of the other black cherry kinds to see if they do the same.
Someone below mentions Schweppes Diet Tonic water. The only cocktail I've ever poured down the sink was a G&T I'd made with that by mistake.
re: Will Owen
I find that saccharine and Equal both bother me in drinks; Splenda less so, but only if they don't overdo the amount -- and commercial soda makers usually do overdo it. At home, when I make fresh iced tea or soda of my own, I find that a mix of equal parts Splenda and superfine (bar) sugar works well, or else equal parts of Truvia (stevia), Splenda and superfine sugar or simple syrup. Even then, I use a light hand and typically even out the flavor with a squeeze of fresh lime. I even put fresh lime in Stewart's key lime soda over ice and in Dr. Brown's cream soda, not to mention my favorite brunch drink: blood orange juice and Pellegrino with a lime and a splash of Rose's grenadine, over ice. Yum!!
re: makalive45
Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper
but the berries n cream tastes like cough medicine!
re: calabasas_trafalgar
re: makalive45
Diet Mountain Dew is what Warren Zevon turned to when he stopped drinking alcohol.
re: Darren72
Great thread. (How could I have missed this?) Thanks.
re: Non Cognomina
There's a bonus for drinking Diet Rite: These are also low-sodium (key for those that are on the Optifast diet.)
re: Non Cognomina
I believe Diet Rite sodas use splenda, which some people seem to much less sensitive too, myself included.
Diet Mountain Dew. I also find that on a hot day when we are sitting at the pool I put some in my dog's water bowl and she laps it up. Keeps her hydrated.
You may not get this in the States,but my favorite diet drink is Presidents Choice diet Green Apple. It's a very strange colour,but it tastes just like a green apple, not sour,very refreshing and natural tasting. Their pomegranate diet is very good too, but the Green Apple is best!!!
I love Stewart's Diet Black Cherry too! FYI, Stewarts sodas are on sale at Bristol Farms this week for 2 4-packs/$4 (so 50 cents/bottle) in L.A.
Diet A&W Root Beer, Diet Vernors (hello, Detroit!), and (don't laugh) Tab. The part-aspartame, part-saccharin Tab of today has a nice cinnamony note.
re: biscuit
That reminds me: I forgot diet Cricket green-tea cola, which is quite good. I wasn't aware of the Hansen's ginger ale -- I'll have to seek that out. Sometimes the inability to have a "real" spicy ginger ale almost makes me regret this whole diabetes thing.
re: Bill on Capitol Hill
I have had diet Blenheim ginger ale which is very good and spicy.
re: wyf4lyf
won't touch coke zero
They re-released the No-Cal brand, which may have been the original diet soda even before Tab. The Clementine flavor is my favorite with the cherry/lime a close second.
Not a big diet soda drinker - but in the UK Schweppes has "slimline" tonic - basically diet tonic water. I've only been able to find diet tonic water in 2L bottles here (not condusive to stocking the bar for the occaisional G &T. Anyone know of a manufacturer who does it in cans or small bottles?
re: Sam Ottawa
I've seen Schweppes diet tonic water in both 1-liter bottles and six-packs of 10-oz glass bottles here, in New York and in northern California. You might ask the manager of your market if he or she can order it for you.
re: PseudoNerd
I totally second the hansen's kiwi-stawberry, I had one with lunch today! The first soda I ever liked as a kid was Crush Strawberry (This was when i was 12 or something) and it tastes just like i remember
re: Neta
I saw this in another post and I'm wondering about the Barq's and heavy cream mixture. Does it work? It reminds me of milk and pepsi. Ewwww. What kind of ratio are we talking about? maybe 80/20 or 70/30? Hopefully we're going for an egg cream flavor/consistency.
Inquiring minds want to know.
re: Jolie
I don't know where you're located (looks like in Fl), but here in NY, with a big Brazilian population in Astoria, many grocery stores around there carry guarana sodas. The biggest market is Rio Bonito by Northern blvd.
I read there is a big Brazilian influx in Southern Florida, you may want to find your closest Brazilian enclave.
re: Cinnamon
Third the Fresca
re: biscuit
That _does_ sound good! I'm off to Bev-and-More to check it out. (Just in case, how much for that habit?)
re: The Ranger
I think it was on sale for a buck sixty-nine or thereabouts. Not a cheap habit by any means, but a nice, occasional splurge.
The only diet I drink is sparkling water with a splenda sweetened syrup, like Monin's O'Free line or Torani. Add a bit of cream to a vanilla and its perfect, but not totally diet.
I like Pennsylvania Dutch Diet Birch Beer. It only comes in 2 liter bottles as far as I know. I don't know if it's available all over the country. I live in New Jersey and I believe it's distributed by Pepsi.
Diet Dr. Enuf! It's somewhat local to TN, but I pick up a case or two whenever I pass through. It's quite good, and quite odd... your average lemon-lime soda, but with a little bit of a spicy kick.
Other than that, I also like Diet Vernors, though it can be a bit pricey.
If you can find it (I've had trouble recently) diet Cricket Cola is really exceptional enough IMO to warrant the high price. There are a few markets on the westside of L.A. that have it. It has a light tea flavoring but mixed with the cola is extremely refreshing and actually better than their sugar version. For cheap, I actually prefer Diet Pepsi vanilla. Diet coke in France (when I was there in March) was incredibly better than the diet coke they sell here, by the way. Coca-Lite in Mexico is also much better than the Diet Coke sold here. Why in the world do they have different flavors in different countries?
Water is better for you!! (but I tend to forget that every time I eat lunch in a restaurant)
re: gnosh
Cricket Cola is a U.S. product. http://cricketcola.com/
Don't know about the Orangina though, sorry.
re: asiege2
I knew Orangina was originally European and I thought maybe it was Italian in origin, but apparently it originated in...of all places, Algeria, and then became French. It is now owned by Schweppes. I imagine you can get it in a lot of markets but not sure specifically about diet Orangina. I don't think I've ever tasted it.
re: ThatPat
Thanks. I am going to write to Schweppes. All this discussion of it has turned a mild craving into a mission!
re: gnosh
Well, I just found a web site that sells rare and hard to find soda, including many diet sodas. Alas, it does not carry Orangina of any kind. But here it is, for seekers after other unusual sodas: www.sodafinder.com
Most of the prices are normal, but there are some rare collectable sodas that are vv expensive, i.e. $500 for a 12 pack of Pepsi Blue!
COKE ZERO!!! I'm amazed that not more people wrote that. It tastes almost exactly like Regular Classic Coke.
I really like the diet Sierra Mist - a shame that we can't get it here in Canada. Diet Cherry Coke is awesome as well - also not available here. At home in Toronto, it's usually Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale for me.
My favorites so far, and the list keeps growing are (in no particular order!) :
1)Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
2)Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke (prior to this, I was not a big diet coca cola fan)
3)Diet Frostie Root Beer
4)Diet Stewart's Root Beer
5)Diet Dr. Pepper
6)Coca Cola Zero
re: EricDH
Yeah, Diet Vernor's is great!
Faves for me... it's a tie between Coke Zero and Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, slight edge to Coke Zero. I also like Diet Pepsi, Fresca, and the Diet Rite varieties. I even enjoy a Canfield's Diet Chocolate Fudge soda once in a while. I'll admit I've liked most diet sodas I've tried except for the Hansen diet sodas.
I am totally addicted to Diet Pepsi. The colder the better. Diet Coke just does not compare. I cannot figure out why though.
I am also a big fan of Fresca.
Love Diet Vernors but cannot get it in NE, so my current fave is Diet Cranberry Canada Dry Ginger Ale. When I want a super sweet diet soda I have been buying Pepsi Jazz Strawberries and Cream.
re: ML8000
If you only drink diet, your palate gets retrained. Except for the occasional swig of Seven Up, I have't had a regular soda since 1977.
I hate Diet Coke, but love Diet Coke with Lime. But my favorite is Fresca, regular Fresca. It doesn't taste like a "diet" drink, or a low-cal version of something else; it just tastes like Fresca.
Of course, nothing compares to the fantasticness of Tab, but I can no longer find it anywhere. As a "substitute Coke" it's nothing, but if you take it on its own terms it's marvelous -- much better than Coke or any of the other "real" soft drinks.
re: himbeer
I agree with everything himbeer says. These to my palate are the very best. Once in awhile, I'll also try a Diet Squirt (who knew, I thought it would be terrible) or a Diet Dr. Pepper, like at a friend's house if that's what they have.
I like the Diet Creme Sodas in the glass bottles at Trader Joe's. the same brand (don't remember the name... sorry) has a diet Root Beer flavor and diet Black Cherry flavor as well. I didn't like the Root Beer flavor and haven't tried the Black Cherry.
As one of my syrup solutions to using soda club (http://www.sodaclubusa.com/), I started making a crystal light lemonade (and pink lemonade) soda. I just mix up the crystal light in a small cup, and then pour 1/2 into the liter soda. It's tasty, and I'm happy. But I knew that I was really onto something when I bought a fancy schmancy ceramic-pop-top 750 ml bottle of Lorina sparkling lemonade for $3.00 - and it tasted exactly like the crystal light soda I've been making... nice bottle, though...
re: amandine
Coke blak struck me wrong. I like the concept, but the flavors didn't meld for some reason. In Great Britain I had Pepsi Max Cappucino (AKA Pepsi Max Cino). Max means it was diet and it had coffee flavor in it. It was a regular size soda, not the shot glass of blak. It was really good. At my QT (a gas station) sometimes I'll mix a little of their frozen coffee in with my Diet Dr. Pepper and get decent results.
Diet Dr. Pepper is my fav. The new flavors like cherry van are not good IMO, and I've noticed a few places replacing plain old DDP with the new stuff.
Diet Sunkist is good as well, and Giant store brand diet cola is actually better than Diet Pepsi and Coke.
David, allow me to explain about wishniak or vishniac. You are holding in your hands the very soul of Eastern European Jewry, my friend, or at the very least its' quintessence. Vishniak can be bought as a kosher wine made from sour cherries or can be made as a liqueur. The soda pop is a tamer American version of this hanukah beverage that can knock you on your tush. Easy to make. Two cups pitted cherries, two cups of sugar, two cups of vodka, macerate for three months, filter and enjoy as is, on ice or with Coke. For a modern take, serve in a flute glass, on ice with spritzer and a twiste of citrus. If you're feeling chic, you can buy the Maraska Croatian Wishniak brand or the Binyamina Vishniac from Israel at a fancy liqueur store. As they say in the old country, Mazel Tov!
On a scorching hot day, I am a huge fan of ice cold diet coke (but from a can...the bottled doesn't taste right to me. Mind over matter?). My second favorite would be Miller Light, since everybody at Fenway Park (my local baseball venue) swears it's not really beer....
re: synergy
Heck, YES!!!! Doc Brown's diet creme is the best. Diet Vernor's Ale is great, but I can rarely find it in Chicago. Vernor's Ale of either kind used to be very easy to find; go figure. Also agree on the diet IBC root beer -- no off-taste like may others.
Diet Coke!!
But I also love Diet Vanilla Coke, Diet Cherry Coke and all the Root Beer and Cream Soda brands!!
I want to try the Diet Chocolate-Strawberry flavor by one of the lesser knwon brands, through!
Diet Coke. In a bottle, seldom drink out of a can any more.
I like it over ice with lime in it sometimes.
No Diet Coke Lime, or Coke Zero or Diet Cherry Coke.
And never, ever, ever Diet Pepsi. Friends don't let friends drink Pepsi.
Every once in a while a Fresca, but Diet Coke every single day.
So maybe this doesn't count, but I love to get a nice, clear juice -- pomegranate, apple, kiwi -- and mix it with pellegrino. It's fewer calories than juice or regular soda, has nutritional content and better than either.
My favorite is plain old Diet Coke. I've been drinking it ever since it came out circa 1985. I do occasionally enjoy other flavors of Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Pepper. I don't care for Diet Pepsi, but will drink it if there is nothing else available, such as in a restaurant that carries only Pepsi products.
I have lived in several countries (France, Turkey, and Benin in Africa) and the Diet Coke available there does not taste the same as the Diet Coke in the U.S. They must use a different artificial sweetener. I much prefer the American kind. In fact, in Turkey I started drinking Pepsi Max after a fellow American tipped me off that it tasted more like American Diet Coke than did the Turkish Diet Coke! I found he was right!
I hope my last soft drink on earth is a nice cold can of good old American Diet Coke...
Believe it or not, I still like TAB. Others on the list include:
Diet Dr Pepper
Diet Rite Cola
Canfiels's Diet Chocolate
My new diet soda binge is MASH
Boylan's Diet Orangesicle (or is it Orange Creme soda?), Diet Ruby Red Squirt
re: Doctormhl1
Absolutely. IF you can get it.
My fave is RW Knudsen's light Tangerine Spritzer. Not quite as sweet as a traditional soda/pop, and 90 cals rather than zero cal, but they're made without artificial sweeteners.
It's not a diet soda per se, but it is so lo-cal that you could make a case for Q Tonic. Man, is that stuff good! It is true tonic WATER, not that syrupy stuff you usually get. It's hard to find though. I have to get mine at Fairway, though I am thinking of asking my local beverage joint to order me a case...
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it, but pink grapefruit soda usually isn't as sweet as regular soda, and I'll sometimes drink that instead of diet. Fizz makes a very nice one. When I was a kid, Squirt and Canfield's 50-50 were my favorites -- grapefruit, lemons, and limes: no surprise there -- but the diet versions have too much fake sweetener in them to taste good -- so instead I'll cut the regular version with a bit of lime-flavored seltzer and a wedge of fresh lime. That usually does the trick while reducing the sugar intake to almost nothing.
ps -- here's a treat if you don't mind a bit of sugar: you can get really good fruit syrups from Poland or Hungary at ethnic delis. I've found that the best sour-cherry syrup comes from Hungary, tho some Polish syrups come close (look for sour cherry, not Morello, Bing or black cherry). Also, Italian syrup made from amarena cherries or true maraschino syrup is great. Just pour a tablespoon or two into your favorite plain or lime-flavored seltzer, over ice, and garnish with a twig of fresh spearmint, sweet basil, or lemon or lime thyme. Also: Swiss, German, French or Polish black currant syrup and/or Swedish lingonberry syrup are great in seltzers and iced teas.
Finally, for something different, pour a bit of sugar-free hazelnut syrup into your diet cream soda -- tasty!!
re: lindygal
I love Diet Rootbeer!
Honestly, I think I like almost ALL diet sodas! To list my favorites: (all "diet") A&W Root Beer, Big Red, Sprite, 7-Up, Dr. Pepper (and variations), Diet Rite, and A&W Creme Soda. Some of these are also either caffeine-free, or available in caffiene-free versions. There are some recent additions to the "orange" flavored drinks, including Orange Crush, Sunkist, etc., which either have several calories, or contain caffeine. What I drink the most of is Diet A&W Root Beer. It's a little higher in sodium than some of the diet drinks, but that is required in root beer (a 12 fl.oz. can has 100 mg Sodium).
I rediscovered Fresca this year after using it to make palomas. Now I buy it just to drink straight every once in a while. I'm trying not to end up with a big soda habit again (used to drink multiple Diet Pepsis a day) but an occasional Fresca is good.
i am a diet coke in a 16-20 oz. bottle fan: not as sweet as regular coke (i just prefer the taste).
i don't do coffee in the mornings so diet coke is my morning caffeinated bevvie.
the colder, the better.
also? i am surprised no fellow massholes have chimed in on diet polar sodas....
i grew up in the late 70s-early 80s with a diabetic family, and we used to LOVE the diet polar sodas, like orange dry and cranberry dry.
they have a little bit of juice, which balances any artificial sweetener taste.
fresca is also good, but i have only tried the old-skool version, not the peach.
