Stan Says: Diet Coke Makes You Gain Weight

My friend Stan's brain is filled with little tidbits and factoids that he picks up here and there, and he likes to trot them out whenever he can in order to impress and amaze. His most recent burst of trivial knowledge was last night, when he insisted that Diet Coke actually makes you gain weight.

Not surprisingly, he's right. Stan is one of those people who doesn't open his mouth to make an assertion unless he knows 100% for sure that he is correct.

So if you drink Diet Coke, your body is indeed more inclined to gain weight, even though Diet Coke provides you with no calories.
