DPR Hits DC
Hello my fellow Diet lovers. I come bringing news of my where-a-bouts. I am blogging from DC. Less than 2 miles from my main man Barack. Because I am poor and do not own a USB cable, and did not bring my friends to DC, I will not be able to post any pictures. But I am excited to say that I am in DC as the voting for the healthcare bill is coming out. It is an exciting time, and exciting Diet is...

Grading Inflation
As you all know, times are hard today and economic inflation has certainly impacted my scoring system. This is why it may seem that some of the Diet is getting high scores while the notes are saying otherwise. I would like to first point out the fact that the Note section of each entry is there to help describe my Diet Experience (the DE) and may not always reflect taste, quality, and quantity...

Product - Diet Pepsi

Portillo's
February 5, 2009 - Portillo’s (1500 Butterfield Downers Grove IL 60515)
Product - Diet Coke -10
Presentation - Styrofoam
Availability - Low
Taste - Above Average
Notes: Tired of saying the same old song, but I guess it’s partially my fault. Again Portillo’s wrecks their Diet by blowing their wad with ice. You may ask, “Why Don’t you just ask for no ice Diet Pepsi Reviewer?” and I...

Buffalo Wild Wings
February 3, 2009 - Buffalo Wild Wings (6450 Route 53 Woodridge IL 60517)
Product - Diet Coke
Presentation - Hard Plastic
Availability - Low
Taste - Fair
Notes: The term refill must have been excluded from the Wild Handbook, seeing we never seem to get serviced twice. If it weren’t because of Jack we would never get serviced at all. I guess putting the pressure by walking up and refiling...

Bennigan's
January 25, 2009 - Bennigan’s (495 Airport Road Elgin IL 60123)
Product - Diet Pepsi
Presentation - Glass
Availability - Fair
Taste - Above Average
Notes: Bennigan’s has always been very near to my heart supplying me with a burger oasis. Although the burgers are in a league of their own, the Diet was not nearly up to “born again” Bennigan’s. For starters the ice...

November 22, 2008 - BD’s Mongolian BBQ (221 Washington Ave Naperville IL 60540) Product - Diet Coke -10 Presentation - Glass Availability - Good Taste - Moderate Notes: Way too much ice; really watered down the Diet.

The Rules
Hello everyone, and welcome to Diet Reviews where I will take you through my Diet experience and hopefully….you will learn something :)
I will try and review as many places where I discover Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke and compare the tastes to the control, which is Diet Pepsi straight out of a can.
Judged on:
Availability of the drink
The presentation of the drink
The taste of the drink
