For stuffed peppers I think you're better deconstructing them and just having the filling with a side of peppers you've grilled or sauteed, or raw as a salad if that's your kink. Stuffing doesn't actually do much except making it look like you tried, goddamn it, at least you tried.

That's what my brother calls "pepper stuff" (as opposed to stuffed peppers)

Yeah, I've never understood it. Like, no matter how terrible the gigantic pile of food I'm getting is, it has 1,000 fewer calories if I drink a Diet Coke vs a Coke.

A Five Guys burger with a family fries might be a billion calories, but that's still less than a billion and a thousand.

Isn't that basically why Coke Zero exists (and also because it sounds manlier)?

It's all just flavor for me, I know drinking piles of sugar is terrible for me but I would rather forego having a soda than have to drink artificial sweeteners.

I feel the same about stuff like butter vs. margarine, my body just craves the real, full-flavor, terrible for you stuff. I'll have to eat less of it to avoid some bad effects on my body but I prefer decadence in moderation to more plentiful compromise. But I certainly wouldn't make fun of anybody for making the healthier choice, especially if they enjoy it equally.

Haven't we long established that margarine is much worse for you while still being equally calorific?

The manly brand was Dr Pepper 10. Coke zero remains the best form of coke.

Why? It's conclusively known that the common artificial sweeteners are fine. Caring about them is the same as caring about loving crystals and 5G in your tapwater. Not liking the taste is one thing but the dreaded aspartame is not going to hurt you, or turn your kids gay.

Yeah that's what I was saying, it's just the taste. It's the other way around, I know that sugar is objectively worse for me.

Trans fat health discoveries have not been kind to margarine. They've started responding by trying to formulate it out but the name (and taste) have been mud for long enough they have a hill to climb.

But you can generally assume any fat that is room temperature solid is going to be bad for you so your fat goals are vegetable oil and fish.

A coke isn't a 1000 calories. Are you drinking it by the gallon?

It's hyperbole but it's still a valid point that a couple thousand calories of burgers and fries is less than a couple thousand calories of brugers and fries + a few hundred from a non-diet conke.

Anyway Diet coke has a nicer more refreshing flavor than coke zero. Coke zero tastes closer to the real coke, but the real coke sucks after you've trained your taste buds to be correct by drinking a lot of diet coke.

if you are a habitual soda addict i feel like you just drink whichever you grew up on, which for me is coke because i am from a part of the country where a lot of the time coke is just a generic term for soda.

If no Coke Zero, then unsweet tea. If there's no Coke Zero or unsweet tea then that probably means I've made it out of the south and should have something a little more celebratory anyway.

Thread-relevant but no pictures: Squirt used to be my absolute favorite too. Until I left an open one behind in the motel room during a Florida vacation with my grandparents when I was like 10.

Mouthful of ants ruined it for me.
