Does "diet" in diet soda mean anything?

Here's pretty much my take on diet soda
I don't think it means crap, soda is bad for you if you drink it excessively whether its diet or not
when they say diet, they just want to appeal to people that want to lose weight, blah blah
diet soda just has lowered calories, and sugar, and things that make your body gain fat and such, that's pretty much it
but i don't recommend drinking that, just find some delicious water, it's better!

Yeah, I agree with pretty much everything you said. Even if diet were different from regular, if you drink a gallon of diet soda, there is no point.

No, I don't think it means much of anything. It's almost an oxymoron.

There's a HUGE difference. It's got the word "Diet" included in the label!

Whoohoo!!!
