* Also done in ''[[True Romance]]'' when Christian Slater's character goes to buy "the two biggest, fattest burgers" a burger stand has, two chili fries... and a Diet Coke. This is done in contrast to his wife getting beaten savagely -- nay ''destroyed'' -- by a very angry James Gandolfini.
* In ''[[The Nutty Professor]] 2'', Sherman's mother mentions her latest diet: You can eat as much as you want, as long as you also drink lots of grapefruit juice to help digest it. Presumably she thought the citric acid would destroy the food completely.
** This diet exists outside the movie. [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit_dietGrapefruit diet|No shit.]]
* ''[[Precious]]'' played this while asking a bucket of fried chicken. She said she would choose the side later because she was trying to watch her figure, but when the lady was looking for said side she runs away with the chicken without paying.
* Brazilian movie ''A Partilha'' (based on a play) has a woman writing a "diet control" list. One of her three sisters gets it, and the four read and laugh seeing all entries have Diet Coke. One even mocks it:

* On an episode of ''[[The Odd Couple]]'', Oscar asks a visiting monk to make him a hamburger. On the burger, he asks for mustard, relish, pickles, hot sauce, peppers and chili. The monk says, "No onions?" Oscar replies, "No, I've got an ulcer."
* One episode of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' has the team's metabolism massively accelerated dues to the week's phlebotninum. [[IllI'll Take Two Beers, Too!|Each one of them orders three steaks]]. And Sam orders a diet soda. When Jack and Daniel look at her all funny, she says, "What? I like the taste better!"
* In an episode of ''[[Three's Company (TV)|Threes Company]]'', Jack is working as a short-order cook. A [[Fat Bastard|female customer]] asks if the restaurant offers a diet platter; upon being told yes, she says, "I'll take two."
* In the ''[[Wings (TV)|Wings]]'' episode "Wingless, Part 2", the Hacketts are flying a country music duo on a concert tour. When the overweight member of the pair asks for a Diet Coke, her oversexed partner sarcastically compares it to rearranging deck chairs on the ''Titanic''.
