Technically they have different fake sugar chemicals if you are the kind of person to sperg out over diet soda.

The equation for me goes "ASPARTAME TASTE BAD, SPLENDA TASTE GOOD". I think Diet Pepsi switched to splenda recently and it tastes way better. I think Coke Zero just had the same poo poo in it though???

You're thinking of that time Dr. Pepper put 10 manly calories in their diet soda.

It's less want to buy a manly coke and more don't want to buy the girly coke. There's some weird subliminal thing going on. In the end it's only like, a difference of 45% of diet drinkers are men vs 55%, and that the sales of diet and zero is stronger than diet alone.

Coke marketed Diet Coke to women in the 90s and it worked too well.

Budget the regular coke into your diet or don't drink it you fatties

Diet Coke shares the same flavor profile as New Coke, whereas Coke Zero shares the same flavor profile as Coke Classic.

The gendered marketing thing is also a thing, but they do in fact taste different, and not just because of the different sweeteners.

yoplait yogurt is explicitly marketed to women. i'm not sure why, yogurt is yogurt and it's delicious

it's a three- or four-day conference in NYC where people give talks about leftist issues. while that article was exaggerating the amount of lunatics that go there, probably for comic effect, they're not impossible to find. the panel descriptions range from "thought provoking" to "boring" to "batshit," and the majority of them are in the middle

a couple of years ago i worked at a nonprofit that offered a very steep discount to employees that wanted to attend the entire conference. one of the panels was about the intersection of disability rights (we worked with developmentally disabled people) and other issues. i kinda wish i had taken advantage of the offer, but eh

left forum is good and the policy of never refusing a panel is genius because it funnels the anger at the panelists and not the institution.

R. Guyovich has other interests, you know. His panel at Left Forum was about how schools should "teach the controversy" and have lessons on Lysenkoism

I've been to some very interesting panels at Left Forum in the past, the cranks who think I was the FBI because I was taking pictures of the going ons because I was covering it for my college communist magazine are just all part of the flavor. Still less awful than a gun show
