Whatever is on sale.

I don't taste any difference anyway.
Can you? And why would you drink cola when there's coffee?

I do taste Diet very different from Coke (it has a very strong after-taste, like biting metal)... So for long I didn't went for the Zero...
Today it is my first try - it is not identical (feel less sweet), but do not left such after in my mouth as Diet did...

Definitely not...
(and no alcohol, coffee or meat)

Wow. I wouldn't even consider it, let alone try that. Too much temptation, too many good smells in the streets.
Can't say no to a kebab, and don't like mornings without coffee.
Religious origin for the diet, or just very disciplined?

Health - I'm religious, but Judaism do not forbid those - I have gout, which behaves very not nice if I drink alcohol or eat meat... Coffee is just something never tempted me - maybe because of the smell it had when my mom used to roast it at home...

I can see how that would motivate a lot to stay away from meat.

The smell of fresh baked bread and fresh coffee in the morning, with the sound of some bacon and eggs sizzling. A small piece of Heaven

I do drink alcohol from time to time, but rarely a lot and only when it's very sweet (although those are the most dangerous as they taste like lemonade )
Never liked coffee, never smoked, and I've been a vegetarian since I was 10
People often assume "the worst", that I'm some very serious straight-edge idealist, but I just never liked the taste (except meat, I just like animals more than people)

Coffee and smoking are acquired tastes; you have to persevere to learn to like it. It's good that you don't 
Sander Rossel wrote: (except meat, I just like animals more than people)
Depends a lot on the animal and the people involved. No to maggots, cockroaches and rats. Not as food, not as company.
Sander Rossel wrote: People often assume "the worst"
One assumes a zealot, certainly not a relaxed person. C'mon, no alcohol, no smokes, no meats, no coffee. If the doctor told me that, I'd ask for anti-depressants.

Ask the barman for a small glass of "43". I'll pay for it next time Ghost plays in Maastricht

It's stupid that you do!
People tell me "I didn't like my first beer/cigarette either" SO WHY TAKE A SECOND!? 
"Here's something that I know is bad for me (and costs a lot of money), let's put effort into using it."
And then there's society "This is bad for you, but we're still going to pressure you into using it because we were stupid enough to do it too."
People are weird

What did maggots and cockroaches ever do to you? 
Unless you've been attacked by Slipknot fans (who are called maggots by the band)

I don't feel like I'm missing anything
Ok, a few glasses of alcohol is nice to get loose, so I do that from time to time.
No smelly breath and clothes sounds fine.
I like the meat replacements better (and some even taste like meat).
I could really use coffee, I'm not a morning person, I sometimes mix it with hot chocolate, but coffee really tastes bad.
I'd ask for anti-depressants if I HAD to use them

Yeah, once drank half a bottle, fun night

I know it is in jest, but there are too many people who try to convince the other about the superiority of their own standpoint. I drank coffee as a kid, with lots of sugar and milk. Milk was being touted on TV as "the white engine" in those days, and sugar is simply a form of fuel.
Sander Rossel wrote: "Here's something that I know is bad for me (and costs a lot of money)
That's relative. I'm taking a lot of poisons, some over IV. Whatever keeps me moving, I'll take it.
Sander Rossel wrote: What did maggots and cockroaches ever do to you?
People will eat even rats before they consider eating maggots. Those are a sign of decay, and there's a natural barrier to eating food that's gone wrong.
Sander Rossel wrote: I don't feel like I'm missing anything
I heard a priest make that claim once too, and I'm very happy to not be a priest. Technically, you may be missing a bit B12, but that's hardly a worry nowadays; just take a supplement.

Pretty sure Starbucks has something coffee-related for your sweet tooth If not, there's this german instant-coffee that tastes like hot sweet vanilla-chocolate milk. I forgot the name, but will post it as soon as I see the sign again.
Sander Rossel wrote: I like the meat replacements better (and some even taste like meat).
Meat is lots of calories with little to no fiber and a good idea for those who have trouble digesting stuff. Combine that with the perception that some meats are delicious, and we have two extremists preaching to another.
I made my own seitan last year. Simply using flour and a (mushroom) broth cube. Easy, cheap, and tasteful on the BBQ. Tasted just like meat would taste. So, my assumption that you are "missing out" may be simply wrong
The taste of American style bacon is incredible; but so was the vegetarian pizza that a friend of mine made, and I haven't been able to come up with a better non-vegetarian version yet. No, didn't even contain fake meat, and I didn't miss the meat either.

Lots of coffee. Haven't drunk a carbonated beverage for years.

Go for 'Zero', you are already overweight. No that is not my speculation, you wrote that once in a post
Btw: I take zero because of diabetes

That weight over the desired the reason I try to move away from Coke... As I'm pretty addict, I was thinking to go for Zero first, and then remove it totally...

I don't see a reason to do this. But ok, if you like to do it, it is your choice.
