Persuasive: Final Draft

Diet Coke

Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m writing to you because your diet coke intake is unacceptable and I am finally taking a stand to show you the truth of the two-faced poison you’re drinking. Believe you me it’s not pretty, so I’m willing to go over three reasons with you that diet coke isn’t what it’s made up to be.

The first reason I have brought to the table, is that Diet Coke is more expensive than other wonderful beverages that you could be drinking like, water for instance or some kind of juice, Kool Aid, even V8 is less expensive and way better for you than diet coke (and most other sodas for that matter) which brings me to our next paragraph.

The second thing I am pulling from my knapsack is that soda in general isn’t good for you or anyone else your age and older. Soda rots your teeth, ruins your taste buds, and does so many other things to your stomach, throat, and mouth it’s really not worth it because it’s also really addicting so not only will you rot from the inside out but you’ll probably be doing it unwillingly.

You’re probably thinking to yourselves “wait there’s more?” of course there’s more, my third reason is quite simple Diet Coke is nasty its got a sugarless metallic taste and a nice cup of water or chocolate milk, it’s not a really good reason to stop drinking but hopefully it helps you.

In conclusion diet coke is not good for you it does not good taste and it’s more expensive than other drinks that are much better for you. So with that in mind please try to stop drinking diet coke.

Thank you,
Gabe
