A daughter has taken to TikTok to showcase her mom's favorite popular diet drink — but it's clear the mother's love for the soda is more of an obsession.
Rowan Sturgill of Lexington, Kentucky, is challenging fans of Diet Coke by seeing how much they love the diet soda in comparison to her own mother's love of the drink.
"Oh, you think your mom likes Diet Coke??" she wrote on her TikTok.
Sturgill captures different moments throughout her home that showcase her mother's array of Diet Coke paraphernalia.
She first shares a piece of door decor shaped like a Diet Coke glass bottle with a bow on it before transitioning to a soap dispenser labeled Diet Coke.

"There's a reason why bubbly is also a mood," one poster reads.

Instead of a fire extinguisher on the inside of the safety box, a can of Diet Coke can be found in the mom's home.
While Christmas is still a few months away, one corner of the home is filled with a variety of Diet Coke ornaments — and though they may not get someone in the holiday spirit, they might create a craving for a sip of the bubbly beverage.

While these beverage knick-knacks may seem like a lot, Sturgill noted that the TIkTok was only highlighting a few of the Diet Coke designs throughout the home.
"This isn't even half of it, I'm not kidding," Sturgill captioned her video.
