And I don't see the "big gulp" disappearing from my area. Plus, I heard diet doesn't count, which is what I drink, so I would still be fine.

But, I would just order 2 or 3 drinks or get a cup of ice and purchase can drinks.

Considering the amount of ice many places put in the cup, the extra large cup only gives you about 12 oz of soda.
