And a Diet Coke | comment |
When a character (usually a Big Eater, scarfing junk food at an alarming rate), pauses to make one tiny concession to health. Bonus points if they act like this counterbalances the calories they've just consumed. This is a standard comedic effect used in various media to emphasize the overindulgence that came before. In various talk shows that featured exceptionally obese people, they would often show a fast food customer ordering an exceptionally large meal including multiple sandwiches/fries/desserts, and concluding with, "and a Diet Coke." Despite being a staple joke on obesity and hypocrisy (especially the trusted "Americans are fatasses" routine), it happens in Real Life for various legitimate reasons. Diabetics may not be concerned about their intake of savories but must watch their sugar. Some people might also just prefer the taste of diet sodas. For instance, Diet Coke has its own distinct formula, and many people prefer it over regular Coca-Cola for being less sweet. Finally, even from the much-mocked calorie intake standpoint it actually does make sense — a 1,000-calorie gut bomb with a diet soda may be silly on its face, but it's still relatively better than a 1,200-calorie meal with a regular soft drink! A heavy soda drinker can see a tremendous benefit from cutting those calories, as soft drinks are the biggest source of sucrose and fructose in fast food. Also, unless the comedic effect stems from the juxtaposition of ordering large number of sugary foods and a sugar-free soda, a large meal with 'diet' drink is common among people working on muscle building, who tend to eat a lot of fats and proteins while limiting the intake of carbohydrates. Variations of the trope may include 1.) having the dieter eat so many of the low-calorie or low-fat foods that it adds up to the same calories or fat as the regular meal would have been, and 2.) having the dieter eat the low-calorie or low-fat entree in addition to, rather than instead of, what they normally eat. Related to Hypocritical Humor, and also overlaps with Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking. A specific example of the Perfect Solution Fallacy. |

The Simpsons: The joke is taken a step further when, after Homer orders an assortment of fried foods from Krusty Burger and the clerk offers to deep-fry the bag. He accepts the offer, and then asks for "a Diet Coke. Deep-fried." While at an ice cream parlor, Homer is on his health-kick, so he orders a low-fat vanilla topped with a bunch of bland-named junk food and candy products. In an early episode Homer goes on a diet, so Marge introduces him to rice cakes. She tells him they're only 35 calories a piece, but he can add a little something for flavour. Homer piles the cake high with toppings and then says "mmm, only 35 calories!" When Homer first meets the wide pride advocates, they have a table with several fattening foods and cans of Diet Coke. The beginning of "Homer's Triple Bypass" shows Homer eating full unhealthy meals before bed including a bottle of diet cola. |

Garfield Occurs in this strip. Inverted in this one, in which Garfield is given a lasagna that's low calorie and one-third fat. He requests two more. In this early 1990 strip, Garfield looks over Jon's cereal wanting it. Jon retorts that Garfield's already eaten 12 donuts, 6 pancakes, 1 pound of ham and a quart of milk. Garfield asks just what kind of point Jon is making. In this strip, the "healthy breakfast" at Irma's Diner has four eggs, pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, ham, fried potatoes... and a sprig of parsley. |

Not Always Right One story is about a customer at a movie theater concession stand who asks for enough artificial butter in his popcorn to make it start swimming, and then says "Lemme have a Diet Coke. A small one. I’m trying to watch my weight." In another one, the customer orders a giant sundae but asks them to hold the cherry on the grounds that cherries are fattening. This customer makes deep-fried Oreos... and so, gets the sugar-free Oreos so they'll be healthier. Sister site Not Always Working had a case where the customer had a Diet Coke with their meal. The employee mocked the customer along the "health benefits" lines of this trope...which, in this case, was not only rude (and thus a bad move in and of itself) but wrong; the customer really did prefer the taste. It ended badly for the cashier (and, by extension, the restaurant) when the cashier persisted in being rude. |

Stargate SG-1: In "Upgrades", the team's metabolisms are vastly accelerated due to alien armbands they're wearing, so they break out of the Mountain in search of protein. Jack orders three steaks and a baked potato, Daniel orders the same but with four steaks, and Sam orders the same again (so, four steaks with baked potato) but additionally with french fries. Oh, and a diet soda. Seeing the looks Jack, Daniel and the waitress are giving her, she protests "I like the taste better!" | |

Bravely Default: one Party Chat has Edea describing an Eternian Special Parfait in loving detail (five scoops of ice cream atop a fluffy pancake) before the rest of the party points out that she'd put herself on a diet. After Agnès guilt-trips her by claiming if she won't, then she clearly can't, Edea insists that she's back on her diet starting NOW... and removes the cherry atop the parfait. | |

In Teen Titans, Cyborg does this at an entirely meat based restaurant. He orders multiple combo meals in rapid succession, then stops and asks for a diet soda. But when told they do not have soda (only meat), he simply asks for a cup of meat juice. Being a cyborg as well as in shape makes this lesser than most examples. | |

Occurs in not one but two episodes of Sons of Butcher. In the first one, Ricky orders most of the greasy spoon diner's menu, deep fried (even the friend chicken!), but adds a diet coke to watch his weight. The other time, he orders a very processed cheese-heavy meal from a fast food restaurant with regular cokes. But when Doug points out the fat contents, Ricky agrees... and switches his cokes to diet. | |

A similar situation was depicted in a Beetle Bailey strip in which the already-corpulent Sergeant Snorkel piled one sinfully indulgent treat after another from the Camp Swampy cafeteria onto his tray, and when called out for it defended himself by saying that everything in the cafeteria was low-fat. This prompted Beetle to point out that the only high-fat thing in the cafeteria was Sarge himself! | |

Family Guy: While driving Lois' pregnant sister to the hospital, Peter stops off at a drive-thru to order several cheeseburgers, but vacillates on the fries: "If I have fries, is anyone else gonna have any? I don't wanna be the only one eating 'em. I'll feel like a fatty." They later did a straight depiction of the "heavy woman drinking diet soda" gag, and they were even nice enough to explain the joke. The very first episode had a variation of this joke, where Peter, believing himself to be rich, decides to treat the family to the most expensive meal they've ever had. He takes them to a drive through and orders "six thousand chicken fa-ji-tas", to which Brian adds "and a 'so-sage' McBiscuit". |

Friends: In "TOW All the Kissing", Joey walks in on Chandler having a very girly bath (he doesn't know Monica's hiding under the water so that Joey won't see her), he asks Chandler if he wants anything from the take-away. Chandler orders for Monica but finishes the order with "and a Coke" then squeals in pain as Monica secretly objects to that last and swiftly corrects that to "And a Diet Coke". Monica tends to worry about her weight a bit because she used to be fat, but, considering the amount of take-away Chinese and pizzas she eats, the Diet Coke isn't much of a calorie saving. | |

Sister site Not Always Working had a case where the customer had a Diet Coke with their meal. The employee mocked the customer along the "health benefits" lines of this trope...which, in this case, was not only rude (and thus a bad move in and of itself) but wrong; the customer really did prefer the taste. It ended badly for the cashier (and, by extension, the restaurant) when the cashier persisted in being rude. | |
