Diet Coke instead of coffee in the morning?

How about chugging a Diet Coke with a ham & cheese omelette, pancakes, or fruit salad with cottage cheese first thing in the morning? The idea of D.C. with breakfast makes me wince. I had a boos once who used to drink a Coke with a Cinnabon sticky bun for breakfast. I could feel the high fructose corn syrup rush just sitting next to him.

Don't get me wrong. I love my Diet Coke, and am a bit addicted, but Starbucks will always win the battle for the breakfast drink on my table.

Nice try folks. I think I'll save that chilly Diet Coke for lunch, dinner, or afternoon siesta.
