Diet Coke

My senior year of college one of my professors had each of us do mock interviews with him to prepare us for the looming "real world." We each had to schedule a time to meet in his office as though we were being interviewed for our dream job.

Question One: If you were a drink, what would you be?

I began to muse out loud.

"Well, I would certainly be carbonated... I have a lot of energy. And definitely caffienated because I bring a lot of energy as well. Hmm... Coke?

No, wait... not Coke. I'd be Diet Coke... because I'm actually not terribly sweet... I'm just sweet enough."

We stared at one another for a moment and then he pushed away his papers and said, "No more questions. You got the job."

Unfortunately, he did make me sit for the rest of the questions. Double unfortunately, I've never been asked that question in the real world.
