Fast food and a vape

[LadyPamela]

I stopped for dinner on my way home and pulled up to the window and was vaping in the dark of my SUV. The young man handed me my soda and when he handed me the bag he said, "Did I see something glowing purple?" I said yeah and showed him my 510. He said, "What is that? Oh, is that one of those e-cigarettes?" He wanted me to show him how it works so I took a couple of vapes (luckily I had just topped it off and there was lots of vapor). He then called over another guy and told him what it was and asked that I show him. The second guy was amazed too.

That's the first time a stranger has said anything about it. People at work have asked me about it. But then, I don't vape in public much except outside at work.

Thats great to hear LadyPamela.. I too have had some delightfully inquisitive people ask me about my PiLOT m401.. the blue LED leaves them in awe.

The irony in this thread's title made me think "fast food and a diet coke."

Back in my smoking days I pulled the "Vitamin Water and a cigarette."

I had the same thing happen to me a few days ago at a drive thru. The gentleman and his co-worker both were interested. I gave them each a Nhaler card that I wrote the forums web site on. Would be nice if they joined us.

when I was going to college I worked at a fast food place where the only diet soda was diet 7-UP. People would order burgers and fries and when told that the only diet was 7-UP they'd say, "Then I don't want anything to drink."

Inside I would be rolling my eyes.

On our local news a while back FDA ran their famous article finding of the ecig. Everybody I had shown the ecig to who was planning on switching told me after the findings they would not switch. It was very difficult to explain all of this to them. Most of them decided against the ecig.

Everybody just looks for the bad and if the FDA says it that it must be so.

Yes i'ts amazing how many sheeple there are. I thought I had 2 people ready to start, was going to let them try all my mods, juice etc.. then both of them said no way not after what the FDA has said about them. I tried to explain but some people just don't want to hear it and or they are too lazy to check out the facts themselves. The government must know what's good for us...RIGHT???

That is funny and I'm one of those people that drink diet coke with my 2000 calorie fast food.

My husband was a diabetic and it was just cheaper to buy one kind of cola (regular vs diet) to keep at the house. I just got used to the diet coke because that's all I had around. Now regular coke tastes like pure sugar.

It doesn't really have anything to do with the calories, it's the taste you get used to.

I can just see their drive-thru time being over by 10 mins and having to explain to their boss why their drive time was so high the next morning lmao

Well, then they learn that next time, they need to pull the boss to the window, too.

+1 It's even in their AD campaign "Just for the taste of it!" LOL

Seriously though, I also got used to it since everyone in my family(except me, thankfully) has diabetes.
It is an acquired taste and once you get it, it's fantastic! From what I understand diet coke is the diet version of the "new coke" formula they came up with and tried to market(not so well) in the 80's.
If you want diet "coke classic", reach for a Coke Zero.

Have a great day!

This is just the beginning of the rise of electronic cigarettes. I'm sure if we stick with what we are doing we will get more supporters. JZ

I was sitting there like holly crap you just consumed the rda callories fat sodium and colesterol in one meal then you get a diet coke. that has never made sense to me.

My wife does it for the caffeine without the sugar. Mountain Dew and Pepsi have to much sugar. When you see someone with an extra large order of grease with a side of lard and a large diet coke, they are most likely diabetic, and only drink the diet for the caffeine without the sugar.
