Another example of a company foolishly listening to people who would never buy their product anyway.

They managed to make it taste worse?! That’s quite the feat.

I don’t drink diet anything. If I want a Pepsi, I go for the “original made with sugar.” I drink it so much, that the 8 pack of 7.5oz. cans I bought 3 months ago, is only half gone.

However, there is RC Cola on trips back to the Mid-west from the gas station across from one of the hotels I stay at.

I love Diet Pepsi and agree, the new formula is not good.

[TBP]

I’ve never bought their product — precisely because of aspartame. But I would definitely buy it now! I have been using Diet Rite, which is sweetened with sucralose. I prefer sucralose.

This is planned, just like New Come was planned.

The “fix” will be what they really wanted to do all along.

This week marks the 46th anniversary of the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to ban cyclamate, the first artificial sweetener prohibited in the U.S., and yet scientists still haven’t reached a consensus about how safe (or harmful) artificial sweeteners may be.

Just like this BS study that made Pepsi be stupid.

[VanDeKoik]

LOL!

I drink New Coke, so I’m good.

[donna]

I love diet Coke with Splenda.

“To bring out that special something in you, drink Burpsi-Cola! ERRRRRPPPP!!!”

(Jolt Cola used to be pretty good)

It has a nasty aftertaste

---

all diet drinks have a nasty aftertaste.

drink water if ya want a diet drink!

[Yo-Yo]

David Zimdars of Michigan said, ‘It has a nasty aftertaste, and it’s sickly sweet. You have to wash it out with water.'

In other words, it tastes like Pepsi.

[dainbramaged]

I remember the RC Cola and Coke flavors of the early 60’s, and they tasted way better to me than the current products. Only a dime and enough carbonation to cross your eyes, too.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I just drank one while I was reading this article. It has a chemical taste to it.

The Saudis DID trade with Israel. They bought their fresh flowers from there. The Lebanese civil wars had stopped their fresh flower retail businesses.
I PERSONALLY saw the blue Star of David on the boxes.
For sure the Pakistani unloading them didn't have a clue what the star of David was...and he probably didn't care.

This is just a promotional scheme. They’ll change back to the “original” formula, like Coke did, and their sales will increase 5%. Watch and see.

[fwdude]

Won’t affect me. I don’t drink Pepsi OR Coke since they sold their souls to the Sodomite Gestapo.

So, a bunch of soccer mom types threw a temper tantrum and got Pepsi to change the recipe because some other soccer mom read something on Facebook that sounded scary and threw a temper tantrum.

[usconservative]

But customers aren’t happy. David Zimdars of Michigan said, ‘It has a nasty aftertaste, and it’s sickly sweet. You have to wash it out with water.'

So then forget the diet pepsi and drink water! Sheesh, have people seen what happens when you take any diet soda and boil it down?

Trust me when I tell you that you do NOT want to drink that crap!

[steve86]

I actually like the Diet Coke-Splenda formulation, which seems to be available intermittently around here. Haven't tried the new Diet Pepsi.

[FatherofFive]

Good. I hope they start drinking water. No Sugar. No artificial ingredients
