In the fast-paced digital world, Gen Z on TikTok has embraced the 'fridge cigarette' trend, equating Diet Coke sips to cigarette breaks. This ritual, characterized by ASMR-worthy fizz and aesthetic setups, offers a nostalgic and self-care moment. However, despite omitting nicotine, Diet Coke poses health risks such as enamel erosion, artificial sweetener concerns, and caffeine side effects. Experts recommend enjoying this ritual mindfully and balancing it with healthier alternatives.
