‘Protein Diet Coke’ Is the Newest Way to Get Swole

Unless you’re looking to build muscle, you probably already consume more than enough protein.

In the U.S., the average person eats about double the daily suggested protein amounts, and while extra protein is fine, there’s really no need to be attempting to supplement protein — unless, again, you’re trying to get swole.

It’s curious, then, that one of TikTok’s latest food trends involves protein shakes. Not only that, but it involves pouring a protein shake into Diet Coke. Yes, that’s it. “Protein Diet Coke.”

Why? No one seems to be able to explain, though those who enjoy the beverage claim it tastes like the world’s shittiest Coca Cola Float.
