I’ve always imagined it like:
You need to lose weight so you go on a “diet.”
But I heard Brett from High speed yoyo pronounce it like “deetz” (the double “e” being like the word “bee”)
So what’s the correct way to pronounce it?

As noted above, it’s deets (long E).
The name appears to be German or Austrian in origin. In general, the pronunciation of a germanic name with 2 vowels like that is that the first vowel is silent, and the second is long.

Has anybody here also watched the movie “Pretty In Pink”
If you havn’t it’s a great movie, see it. But that’s not why I’m talking about it.
In the beginning you see one of the main characters in gym class. If you pay attention carefuly, then you hear that the gym teacher’s name is “Ms. Dietz”.
Just thought I’d share that bit of info 🙂

I believe the correct way to pronounce it is ‘deetz’, but I personally, just for the sake of being strange, pronounce it ‘die(dye)-tee-zee’.

It should be pronounced Deetz if its reg edition.
BUT they should make a special edition, and soda blast it, and call it the Dietz Soda. Pronounced like Diets.
