After drinking diet sodas for years, I can’t stand the regular stuff. It’s too syrupy-sweet.

Agreeded. I drink diet drinks not for weight control nor diabetes. I have neither. The sugared drinks taste too sweet and I do not like them. If I am drinking less calories, ok. That is not the objective.

When I was a kid, something like Coke or Pepsi was good on a hot day, and really quenched your thirst. It just wasn’t the same later; maybe the corn syrup ruined it.
