Diet Coke and rice is so Miley, whereas full-fat Coke with noodles is Hannah-coded.

Sweet niblets: They’re not what you thought they were. During Disney’s Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, Miley Cyrus told Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper about her favorite go-to meal from her Disney Channel child-labor days. “I did something really gnarly,” Cyrus said. “My favorite thing to get at Panda Express was the white rice and pour Diet Coke on top. Instead of soy sauce, I’d do Diet Coke. It’s a whole thing.” Cyrus suspects this might have weirded out her co-star Emily Osment, who played Lily. “No wonder she was like, Who is this bumpkin that they got?” Her explanation for this culinary debauchery was “I am from the South in a way that it’s really hard to describe.”
Is Diet Coke on plain Panda Express white rice a southern delicacy? Does Diet Coke share any flavor profile with soy sauce besides their both being dark-brown liquids? Wouldn’t dumping Diet Coke on rice make the rice cold? Alex Cooper, you neglected your duties as a Disney Channel investigative journalist by not asking these follow-up questions. I guess this is the reason the show wasn’t about a girl who had a secret life as a Michelin-starred chef.
