I don&#8217;t usually drink Diet Coke, but recently, this girl at a restaurant ordered a diet coke with FIVE SLICES (emphasis hers) of lime and I thought: Huh, that&#8217;s dedication! and then the next thing I know there&#8217;s Diet Coke with Lime on the side of a truck and in my local convenience store so I decided to try it.<\/p>\n<p>It tastes like Aspertame. But that&#8217;s why there&#8217;s rum.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Organ Transplant month!
