Let’s Talk About the Diet Coke Commercial!
Which Diet Coke commercial is your favorite? Are there any awesome ones that I missed? (link to them in your comments)

What about the ‘Just for the taste of it … Diet Coke’ (Whitney Houston) commercial/jingle — Not really for the performer, just that I love-Love-LOVE that tune!
Those were good ones too. I couldn’t find a good video of all the commercials so I just used the ones that I could find (and the ones I remember the most.)
