An ideological dispute has broken out in the blogosphere about the various merits of Coke Zero and Diet Coke. As Eric Cartman would put it, you can follow this debate hyah, hyah and hyah.
This is a subjective call, hence my certainty that Jonah Goldberg is correct and Matt Yglesias should go back to Tab. Diet Coke is an excrescence, a vile concoction that leaves a sickly, Rumsfeldian taste in the mouth (his company created Nutrasweet), and deyhdrates the soul. Coke Zero is a diet drink that simply doesn’t taste like one. The fiance orders it in large boxes, which fill up the bottom third of the fridge. If I have to, I drink it as well. But I’m a Coke Classic man myself. So who’s the real conservative now, Jonah? Huh? Yeah?
