it is a taste you need to get used to, and most people just switched to another brand.

Don’t drink soda, regular or diet, on a regular basis. None of it is good for you and the diet stuff is probably worse.

Water - it’s all you need.

I switched to Cherry Coke Zero. The stuff is made with crack, it's so addictive.

I've never liked diet sodas but that's a whole different category of diet. I don't know what they did but it's really good and like no other diet soda I've ever tasted.

One really great summer drink is barley tea or mugicha. You can find it at your local Japanese/asian grocery - just throw a couple bags in a gallon of water and serve ice cold. A lot of people love it.

They need to use that sweetener that Coke uses in some diet drinks in Europe. Cyclamates.

Pepsi finances abortion mills, I think that has been getting around and sinking them.

I'm lucky enough to still be able to drink TAB, which is when lab rat cancer warnings started.

Will take chances with Sodium Saccharine. Tastes more like original Coca-Cola than the current crap does (except for the Mexican stuff...).

Is that with or without aborted fetal tissue for flavoring?

I’ve always wondered. If you have to have artificial sweetener in your soda then why even drink soda? The stuff tastes awful.

Like it or not, aspartame is the best tasting sugar substitute.

They should try carbonating it. Out of a fountain it is OK but it is flat out of a can.

The new sweetener is fine but they made it even sweeter. It’s too much. Tone it down a bit and I’d like it.

Just drank a Splenda diet Coke...I thought it was pretty good but sort of like Diet Pepsi with more carbonation. (sweeter than regular Diet Coke)

Vernors Diet Ginger Ale here. Maybe 3-4 cans /week.
Not easy to find though.
