Ok - sorry about this everyone...but I need to rant...
You know what's wonderful? When your lunch break at work turns into a get yelled at by customers because you're eating at your desk because no one will let you take your break! Grrrr...I'm starting to hate Saturdays.
Ok, I'm done. I feel better now.

If you eat some of that free bread and drink diet coke with sweet and low, you will most likely get the same nutrition found in diet coke plus. :D

score!!!
so, anyone interested in dumpster diving in Riverbend will land themselves some delicious bread products in the COBS dumpster today...
I happened by at closing time, and got a bag of free goodies from the bakery girls before they chucked it all, but seriously, if you want fresh baked bread for free... dumpster!

Chris, I think you missed the part of the Diet Coke Plus that, I would think, would be most interesting to you. They'll be marketing it as "healthy" because "each 8-ounce serving of Diet Coke Plus provides 15% of the daily value for niacin and vitamins B6 and B12, and 10% for zinc and magnesium. "
Actually, the marketing behind all this is fascinating:
They will be promoted as "sparkling beverages." The companies are not calling them soft drinks because people are turning away from sugary sodas, which have been hurt in part by publicity about their link to obesity.
...
While the soda business remains a $68 billion industry in the United States, consumers are increasingly reaching for trendy beverages like fortified water, sparkling juices and bottled green tea. In 2005, the amount of soda sold in the country dropped for the first time in recent history. Even the diet soda business has slowed.
...
Neville Isdell, chief executive at Coca-Cola, is clearly frustrated that his industry was singled out in the obesity debate, and insisted at a recent conference that his diet products should be included in the health and wellness category because, with few or no calories, they are a logical answer to expanding waistlines.
"Diet and light brands are actually health and wellness brands," Isdell said.

Dude! That altered form of hemoglobin is what causes meat to turn green after being exposed to air for a long period of time! That's why you vacuum pack all meat that goes to grocery stores. That's pretty cool.
As for the Diet Coke plus. That's stupid. It's sweeter because there's more artificial sweeteners in it. And you can fortify anything. Why don't you just drink diet coke and pour sweet and low in it?
