Probably because they don't want the extra sugar. That's the only reason I ever drink diet soda, is because I'm trying to lower my sugar intake. Besides ordering a meal like that now and then is ok. Everything in moderation.

They try to even it out with one item that is supposably healthier xD

Because they love that stuff. No wonder McDonald's, Burger, King, and other fast food restaurants are so popular.

Heck, I would order a Pepsi. But you are right. The diet pop of any kind is actually worse for your health.

Must be part of their diet.

The diet coke lowers the overall calorie count so we can justify the extra meat

Maybe it fits for their taste. :)

Because even though both options have a lot of calories, the diet coke option has hundreds fewer -- especially if they're ordering large portions and getting refills

double cheeseburger and large fries from BK: 990 calories. Large coke: 380. Going from one large diet to one large regular coke increases caloric consumption by just under 40%. Getting a refill on the coke almost doubles caloric intake vs getting a diet and a diet refill.

The burger and fries don't necessarily have to be from a fast food place. I would think that a restaurant like Red Robin or Applebees would have a better quality burger, although I'm not sure what the calorie and fat comparison would be. Someone just might be really hungry that day too. Doesn't mean they eat that way all the time.

Gave up that crap years ago soon as I realized the dangers of Aspartame and what goes into your Burger! I would sooner eat a fried rat than a burger from MacDonald s or BK.

Because that is what is offer, don't offered they will not order it

Because that equals about 150 less calories in that meal. Every calorie counts and if they wish to take those 150 calories to deduct from a 325 burger patty that is their choice. Some people prefer to eat their calories rather than drink them.

Could it be that alongside the 'large fries' they are possibly 'large idiots' into the bargain?

I guess that is because it was like a set meal to start with.

I get the large meal order in order to get the large diet coke. I eat the burger but not the fries. Its cheaper

IDK.. but the diet coke will kill you faster then the burger or fries.

I think they like the taste of the diet drink. One can get addicted to the diet coke flavor, though it is unpleasant for some when first drank.

Haha! I don't know. Maybe they somehow manage to think that getting a diet coke will makeup for the rest of the fatty fast foods they get when clearly a diet coke won't make any difference. XD

getting a real coke would.

reply
cali to Narcole... 2011/08/04 15:38:25

But you're still getting calories. If you're gonna eat a double cheese burger and large fries what's the point of getting a diet coke?

reply
Narcole... to cali 2011/08/04 15:58:00

because a big real coke would do more damage than just the cheese burger.

No I shouldn't be getting the cheeseburger, but guess what? If I don't eat something and go into low sugar then I'm really in trouble.

cali to Narcole... 2011/08/04 16:24:15

A big coke? Wow. Cheese burgers can cause heart attacks.

Narcole... to cali 2011/08/04 16:33:49

and a real coke has sugar.

Don't you know? If you get the bad food you are required by law to get the bad drink too, you have no choice.

I don't know, but that is so wrong!

A single hamburger, large fries, and an iced tea is the way to go!
