Ow. Coca-Cola headache, anyone?

[jenk]

McDonald's drive-thru screwed up and gave me a medium Coke instead of Diet Coke. I also got a cup of water, which I drank first, so by the time I started sipping the "diet" I was miles away. At first I thought the mix was just too rich, or there wasn't enough lemons in it (I always ask for two). Then the headache hit and I realized...ew, it's Coke! I'd drunk about half of it at that point.

So. I'm curious...does anyone else get headaches when they drink HFC sodas or juice drinks? For me, it's almost identical to an ice cream headache: A sharp, blinding needle right behind my forehead.

Ok, going to fix some chamomile tea to help wash the taste away. Or maybe mint. Mint tea with Double Chocolate Milano cookies...mmm....
