Suggestion: And A Diet Coke

Go To

Current is really small and I believe a stock image that's been photoshopped.

I went on Pixabay and got some more stock images that are usable under their content license and edited this together which I think does the same job but with better focus on the diet coke can:

I can tell that many are in favor of replacing current with OP, but I feel like trying my luck with my own suggestion. I wanted an image where you can tell that the diet soda was part of someone's order, rather than the soda can being the only thing in focus.

13.1:

[up] those are all too cluttered for me, but i do agree with you. the stock image collage of op is fine but it feels kind of like a band-aid till we can find something nicer-looking.

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...

I mean personally I think OP does look nice. It's clean, simple, and to the point. It also focuses on the diet drink way more than the others. Which is the point of the trope.

I do like how 13.1 shows someone making a big order and then topping it off with a diet soda, which is closer to what the trope description describes. But it is perhaps too cluttered.

I find OP clearer / cleaner than any of the suggestions in 13.

Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?
