Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Notice I hedged my bets with the word "most" so as not to have to fess up I was talking out of my ass...so I won't.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I only drink diet (Pepsi, Coke) and hate the taste of regular - unless I'm mixing drinks. I just hate the taste of diet mixed with, say, vodka. Booze and regular soda tastes much better.

I'm still puzzled when a city decides not to floridate their water.
They don't want to contaminate their precious bodily fluids.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The government can't tell me what to do!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
One side effect of Nutrasweet is that it increases your appetite.

That's unproven. I have seen no credible evidence to support it as being a widespread side effect. If it happens, it's to a statistically small number of individuals, who should rightly try and avoid it.
Diaries and questionnaires
The 7-d food diaries completed 3 times during the intervention showed no significant differences between the 2 groups’ ratings of hunger, fullness, palatability of the food, and general well-being. Furthermore, mean scores for postprandial appetite sensations on day 4 of each dietary record showed no significant differences between the 2 groups during the intervention. There were also no significant between-group differences in the changes in the amount of physical activity or level of physical activity, as recorded by the subjects, after the 10-wk intervention

Aspartame, and other sugar substitutes as a group are some of the most unjustly maligned substances in my opinion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aspartame is a migraine trigger and people keep trying to sneak it into my system.
More important (could I be more off topic) than substituting for sugar should be making food less sweet, period.

Yes. Why can't someone make yogurt with fruit in it without dumping in either a bunch of sugar or artificial sweetners? Actually, I have found yogurt like this, but I haven't seen any for a long time.
Yeah, I know I can buy plain yogurt and add fruit. Too much of a PITA most of the time.
