Live Mega Doppler 7000 HD

So it’s raining in SoCal, and by raining I mean snowing, raining, raining cats and dogs and cpk pizzas. People it is raining here. And that means only one thing:

LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD

You heard me right, LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD. This is the “thing” the local ABC station (channel 7) uses to tell the weather. The weather man, Danny Romero, must have said LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD about a zillion times in 2 minutes. It seemed as though he was getting paid per mention of the LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD. This instantly reminded of the classic George Clooney vehicle, Return of the Killer Tomatoes. Wherein, halfway through the movie the producers ran out of money and had to take on sponsors, one of which happened to be HONDA MOTORSCOOTERS. Clooney and crew mentioned HONDA MOTORSCOOTERS about a zillion times as well, and I still don’t think they mentioned Honda as much as Danny Romero said LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD.

Apparently this “thing” (I just can’t bring myself to say it again) is so powerful that it can actually predict the weather! It works just like a satellite and a Doppler radar system, but it is SO MUCH BETTER. Does NASA know about this, Stephen Hawking, AL Gore? I am pretty sure that if anything could *spot* global warming it would the LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD.

Now, DDW’s mom doesn’t think posts like this are related to diet drinks, but they are and I can prove it. I know many of you don’t live in LA and don’t have the privilege to hear Danny Romero say, “LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD.” So this one’s for you mom:

Step One: drink your favorite diet.
Step Two: empty the cup.
Step Three: place the cup around your mouth, but leave a small opening on one side of your mouth.
Step Four: using your lowest and loudest voice possible say. “LIVE MEGA DOPPLER 7000 HD!”

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

DDW had a busy holiday. We spent Christmas with DDW's Nana ( my mom) and New Year's back at our home. If you had any doubts as to DDW's true dedication to diet drinks, let me put your mind at rest.

On Christmas day we took DDW's Grandma to Mass, and then......

WE WENT TO 7-11!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right nothing says Merry Christmas like 7-11. I got drinks for everyone and the 7-11 even had flavor shots. Diet Coke with a shot of vanilla - MERRRRRY CHRISTMAS HO HO HO! My mom was a bit horrified by the drink trip after Mass, but once she tasted her diet she agreed that it was totally worth it. The Double Big Gulps really helped the present-opening process go smoothly.

For New Year's Eve, I enjoyed about 5 Vanilla Coke Zeroes. Coke Zero really does taste more like regular Coke; I love the diet flavor, but it is not as close to regular Coke as Coke Zero.

I hope everyone in the DDW family has a great New Year!
