Three Steps to Sprite Conversion

I overheard a "Do you know how much sugar is in a Sprite?" conversation this morning and thought I'd chime in. Sprite has 35 grams of sugar, as much as in a Snickers bar. So logically if you want to save a few calories, you'd switch to Diet Sprite. However, if you want to go the extra step and lose the sugar AND lower your cost, you'd try the Publix Diet Lemon Lime drinks. They taste great, but I would not jump from regular Sprite to the Publix in one fell swoop because the flavor is different. Take your time and get used to the flavor of Diet Sprite. I'd say a month. Then, one day, casually drop a 39 cent can of the Publix stuff into your basket, let it chill in the fridge and grab it when it's cold for a test sip. When you're ready, go back to the store and buy the 12-pack, which is about half the cost of a twelver of Diet Sprite. Try that for a week. When you've totally made the switch, celebrate the sugar you've NOT eaten and the money you've saved by taking me out to dinner.

Where did everybody go?
