He is an avid diet coke drinker and for some reasons likes it out of cans as opposed to 2 liter (less expensive!) Bottles. I buy the 12 pks when on sale in large quantities and would store them in the garage. We live in a VERY warm desert climate and I'm sure the garage gets up to 115 or more. The article stated that high temps convert chemicals in the diet coke to some sort of toxic chemicals. Maybe that's why it tastes so bitter! I now run a 2nd fridge in the garage, obviously offsetting any savings on sale prices but at least paranoid hubby doesn't think I'm trying to kill him anymore!
