Actually, you may want to rethink your title.
Being the diet coke of ebil implies that you are less ebil. (Diet coke having less calories, sugars, etc, than regular coke).
I think you want to go with you are the "New Coke" of ebil.
Oh wait, didn't that drink fail also or I am thinking of Clear Pepsi?
Ahh, nvm, carry on with your ebil schemes.

Coke Zero is an abomination, insidiously trying to force itself on Diet Coke drinkers by convincing people that it's the "real" Diet Coke. Some places are starting to carry it instead of Diet Coke. IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.

Fast forward to 0:58 (or 1:14 for the actual quote).

With Diet Coke, you can still get fat off consuming it. It just takes a lot more. So there's badness in there. Just not quite so much. Very small-scale.
That's pretty much what I'm doing. I'm not like some of the people shifting multiple tens or hundreds of millions in a tiny number of transactions. But I'm rocking about 120 market transaction slots and making an absolute BUTTLOAD compared to my initial investment. It's slowing down a bit, today was the first day I didn't have to COMPLETELY reload all the transaction slots with fresh merchandise.
Had a couple expensive fat-finger mistakes, but the prices I've been getting for the stuff I'm selling has made it a drop in the bucket.
Still, for a few hours of check and refill duty, I've made an absolutely crazy amount of money (granted, I could almost exceed that with a single purple drop, but that wasn't my intention) relative to my initial investment.

I suggest drinking lots of suger-loaded soda and snacking on candy bars until your body fails due to a sugar overdose. At that point, you have a 0% chance to die of cancer. Ignoring seatbelts helps, as does using sign language in uban areas.|

...or...
Thank God I live in the U.S.!

Better to die of cancer than to drink Diet Coke.
Okay, after blanketing several niches, then, seeing which way the pricing was going and focusing on two (then one), I'm on track to turn a measly 8 million initial investment into 160 million.
Thank You "Gotsta Haz It NAO!"
And no, I'm not saying any more until AFTER the weekend is over.
