Dua Lipa has been making headlines lately, and this time it's not for a new hit song or fashion statement. The singer's unusual Diet Coke drink has taken the internet by storm and sparked quite the conversation among her fans. It's no secret that Dua's fans are devoted and would do just about anything for her, but it seems that her latest concoction has drawn a line for some of them.
The drink, which she shared on social media, consists of Diet Coke, pickle juice, and jalapeño brine. People were quick to react, with many branding it as "evil" and expressing their doubts about its taste. Even celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay took a stab at it, but his reaction was less than impressed as he spit it out almost immediately.
Despite the mixed reactions, my curiosity was piqued and I decided to try it out for myself. I mean, what's not to like? Coke, good. Pickles, good. Jalapeños, good. It's definitely an acquired taste, but if you're a fan of spicy margaritas, this might just be your new go-to drink. I headed down to the grocery store to grab the necessary ingredients and mixed up my own version of Dua Lipa's Diet Coke drink.
And you know what? It's honestly not that bad. The combination of spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors with the addictive fizz from the coke was surprisingly refreshing. I do have to admit, it's not something I would pair with every meal, but I can definitely see myself enjoying it with some tacos or other spicy dishes.
But don't be fooled, this drink may seem like a new and outlandish concept to us, but it's not a new thing in the US. In fact, there are hundreds of videos on TikTok of people sharing their own versions of this controversial drink hack. Some even go as far as ordering a whole pickle as a side with their fast food and plopping it straight into their cup of soda.
And if that's not enough, there have been other Diet Coke trends popping up, such as "Crispy Coke" and "Fluffy Coke". The former involves leaving Diet Coke in the fridge for an extended period of time to achieve the perfect crispiness, while the latter consists of adding marshmallow fluff to the rim of a glass of Coke. And most recently, some have been mixing Diet Coke with vanilla protein shakes to create "Protein Coke".
It's safe to say that Dua Lipa's Diet Coke drink has sparked quite the conversation and has even inspired others to get creative with their own soda concoctions. So, whether you're a fan of this unique drink or not, there's no denying that it has definitely made its mark in the world of social media. Do you have a story to share? Let us know by emailing us.
