Lasting impression: I don’t think I’ll be choosing Diet Coke again as my first and only caffeine of the day solely because of its incongruity. That said, I was just picturing all that syrup and carbonation doing a tune on my stomach before I had a bite to eat. Plus, my teeth feel gross on account of all that (fake) sweetener.Ĥ:05 p.m.: Overall my Diet Coke did afford me the pick-me-up I needed, and it didn’t make me feel a whole lot different than drinking coffee.

To be fair, I haven’t touched another sip of anything else with caffeine in it, so it may not be the Diet Coke’s fault. ![]() But it does represent how my heart actually feels right now: bulging due to arrhythmia after all that caffeine.ġ2:15 p.m.: But it’s made me surprisingly awake, and not even craving another cup of something caffeinated, even at this time when I’d normally be dragging my feet to the coffeemaker for my second cup of the day.Ģ:01 p.m.: Well, there goes my buzz.

When tasked with trying Diet Coke as my first taste of morning caffeine, perhaps it was my already feverish mentality, but each sip sent chills down my spine. The caffeine settles in no more than 10 minutes later, leaving my lips puckered and asking for the next sip. It’s similar to drinking an Arnold Palmer, a combination of lemonade and iced tea, after brushing your teeth. I’m a rare soda drinker - if I opt for a fizzy beverage it’s of the alcoholic variety - and even that only happens after hours. 10:01 a.m.: The tartness of the Monster Rehab alone is enough to wake you up. 10:03 a.m.: While a morning caffeine boost is, needless to say, a lifeline, as the winter months drag on, it’s of primary importance for my morning quaff to have warmth to it. ![]()
