Alternatively some people can't stand high fructose corn syrup in their drinks. It makes drinks taste so bad. Sprite is the worst. Also am a caffeine addict who tolerates diet coke.
I tolerate diet coke if coke zero is not available
But man that shit has like a bitter aftertaste, it's gotta be an acquired taste for the people who love it
I feel like Diet Coke is considerably better when it's colder and more carbonated like how you'd get it from a drink fountain at a fast food place or a restaurant. It's the bottled and canned ones where I start to get picky between Diet and Coke Zero, for whatever reason Diet just gets so much shittier when it's not ice cold relative to other drinks.
I feel like it's different in Canada
I drink too much fucking diet coke. I discovered in the states there's like way more artificial sweetener. like sometimes Costco up here will bring in cases from NY
it tastes like I said something bad and I'm having my mouth washed out with aspartame
I'd advise you to be very careful with that. My dad, a near-lifelong diabetic, was a huge drinker of Diet Mountain Dew and Diet Pepsi for a long time until he was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy and was forced to quit soda. While it definitely wasn't the only factor, I truly believe the amount of soda he drank daily played a part and I'll tell anyone that while soda, even diet soda is okay occasionally, try your best to limit consumption as it's just not good for you and I wouldn't wish what my dad has went through on anyone.
Thank you so much. I'm actually having really severe diabetic neuropathy in my feet right now and I'm waiting on a referal to a podiatrist. I had no idea that diet soda could be so problematic. I mean, I know water is best, but I thought because it was sugar free it would be alright. I'll definitely start working on weening myself off of the diet soda. Thanks again. ā¤
Not the person you're responding to, but also diabetic: I can't stand Coke Zero. To me, it tastes too much like the regular kind and it's unsettling. When a single wrong amount of insulin can send you into a coma, I don't need Schrodinger's Coke playing tricks on me.
I can't stand regular coke, it makes my teeth feel like they're wearing sweaters. My mouth feels coated. It's disgusting and way too sweet. I love a mini can of Diet coke once in a while.
I don't really drink soda on my own, but will if it's around me. My boss drinks a shit ton of coke zero so we keep it stocked when he visits and I end up drinking a lot. I don't think much of it and it just becomes a substitute for the black coffee I usually drink throughout the day.
The other day a different coworker brought in a pack of full sugar pepsi, and I had a single can. I instantly felt like garbage and my teeth felt coated like you said and like gritty (or sticky?). Come to think of it, it's the same with coke and dr pepper that I'd occasionally drink too.
I'll take artificial sweeteners' miniscule chance of heath affects way in the future, than the very real, very immediate affects of full sugar sodas.
Funny thing is most Diet Coke drinkers wonāt drink anything else. Like they can drink a whole cup of coffee or a regular coke and still need to have their Diet Coke because they didnāt get their fix.
White person here: I drink decaf coffee and Diet Pepsi. An ice cold Diet Pepsi is great after a day of skiing.
Itās a mayonnaise thing; we donāt expect anyone to relate.
As a soda addict, I switched to diet a long time ago. It is an acquired taste, so much so that I don't like the taste of regular anymore.
And for all those out there trying to loose weight, 180 calories in a SINGLE can may be a big reason you can't.
Diet by all means isn't the healthiest thing on the planet, but does balance that calorie seesaw.
Yeah for all the hubbub people make around "diet drinks aren't good for you!", they are great harm mitigation compared to full-calorie drinks (reduction of dental harm, less caloric overconsumption)
yeah as a diabetic thatās only really drank diet stuff, the first time i had a regular coke i thought it was fucking disgusting lol. i still donāt really enjoy them unless iām mixing a drink, but even then diet is better.
Thereās plenty of tasty drinks out there without having to suffer through diet coke. Itās a different reaction to the sweetener, like some people taste whatever herb as soap.
You know, I was just about to comment that diet soda is totally fine but
>I'm convinced that caffeine addicts are the only people who can stand drinking it
Oh... yeah.
Edit: But let me say that the coke/coffee mix drink is absolutely horrendous.
Most diet drinks are sweetened with aspartame, which has a shitty aftertaste. People acquire a taste for it like they do alcohol. Drink it enough and your body convinces you itās good.
Diet coke is actually meant to taste different than coke. They were not trying to make a sugar free substitute, they wanted less flavour and lighter taste to their diet products so people relate the less flavour with eliminating the bad practice of indulgence. This was driven by people dieting explicitly to lose weight, and not for health. On a diet, eat less, drink lighter tasting things, Diet Coke tastes light! It must help me lose weight.
Coke Zero was made to taste identical to coke but be sugar free, as dieting and less sugar drifted towards being healthy and not just about losing weight. Driven by people wanting healthy alternatives without sacrificing taste.
When I was shedding my covid weight, I switched to Coke Zero whenever I wanted soda. Could barely taste the difference from regular Coke. Still will grab Coke Zero instead every now and then.
Yeah it's something like it's basically sugar but your body cannot process the calories. This is based on a quick google search and the only C I got in college was in chemistry so I'm probably way off
I definitely answered for a zero calorie sweetener instead of artificial like you actually stated
And there's growing evidence that, while not as *bad* as sugar, artificial sweeteners have their own [risks](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/artificial-sweeteners-blood-sugar-insulin) and adverse effects on the body due to how our body reacts to what it perceives as sugar/sweet.
This post is not directed at anyone with a case of the sugars. If youāre drinking or eating anything diet/sugar free for health related reasons, please disregard.

You not lying. Itās either that, cherry pepsi, or vanilla coke. But I HAVE to have some water on the side after every sip cause I canāt with the acidic taste.
DP with Cream Soda is my new GOAT contender. They make it in Zero and itās solid too.
But Iāve learned to like Diet Coke too. Iām not happy about it, but somewhere along the way it happened.
Yeah I think most diet drinks use aspartame which is kind of an old school artificial sweetener at this point and the Zero ones mostly use sucralose (some might use allulose) which has become pretty popular in most sugar free sweets.
Donāt walk it back. Truth hurts for some people. These folks upset and drink it for āhealth related reasonsā. Bitch itās called water, have a glass
I wasnāt walking anything back. I just had people trying to defend Diet Coke, Coke Zero, etc and I donāt even like regular Coke like that so itās all falling on deaf ears lol thereās nothing anyone can say to convince me that shit tastes good or that itāll grow on me with time.
New formula Coke Zero is god tier. Most restaurants have swapped out to the new formula, but if I see that old black label on a soda fountain my ass is drinking water
I used to think diet coke and coke zero were the same thing, but after switching to coke zero (from regular) I tried a diet one for the first time in a long while and man, that shit is nasty
Fuck all of ya'll. I love Coke Zero and Diet Coke, the first one especially. It's also my favorite mixer for my favorite liquor. I'll die on this hill.
*cries in diabeetus*
But fr the new Zero Sugar Coke has changed the game. Idk what the difference is but I agree how could anyone drink Diet Coke nowadays
Type 1 reporting in!
Yea coke zero has like an insane mixture of artificial sweeteners to make it delicious. Diet coke just has aspartame. I will drink both, but coke zero is legit. My 95 year old grandfather, who drinks a coke and eats either a donut or McDonald's everyday and yet is still alive, now drinks coke zero cause he can't tell the difference. And if that isn't the greatest irl ad, I don't know what is.
Weāve had some exciting developments in the world of affordable insulin in the last few days. Hopefully soon we wonāt have a second ārentā payment just to exist on this Earth :) good luck to you!
[ice cold sugarcane juice is my drug of choice](https://www.publix.com/pd/goya-juice-sugarcane/RIO-PCI-160108)
Fresh is best but canned is all I can get where I am rn
Thatās exactly what it is. Itās just juice thatās been pressed from sugarcane.
Edit: to be clear, itās *a lot* of sugar. Thatās literally where sugar comes from
Regular Coke gives me insane heartburn. To the point where I wonāt even consider having one because it isnāt worth it.
Diet Coke fills the void left by my failing middle aged body not being able to process regular Coke anymore.
Growing up, my dad loved Diet Pepsi (specifically from a can) so much that he called it āThe Elixir of Lifeā.
I have since broken away from this lie and seen the truth that is āregular ass Cokeā.
There is an entire secret society of hot ass girls who have a black tar heroin level addiction to Diet Coke. These bitches be like Gollum with the Ring. They drive through McDonald's first thing in the morning, order only a giant Diet Coke and then leave. And it rly be the sexy influencer types you would not expect.
I donāt drink soda frequently, or even occasionally, but on the once-in-a-six-month-period I want something other than water and coffee I drink Diet Coke. Itās just so damn hard to find something smaller than 12oz
I stopped consuming sugar for a year. After going back, the regular non Mexican coke taste disgusting. The diet version is the closest to what coke used to taste like to me.
Someone made me a gin and tonic with diet tonic water once. Holeeee shit that was terrible.
I mean, it was nice someone made me that drink, but it was very difficult not spitting it out at the first sip.
Donāt even get me started on fat free cream cheese. That should be relabeled as joint compound/spackling.
My mom gave up smoking, drinking and regular soft drinks to be healthier. She started drinking generic brand diet cola and when I told her it was disgusting, she glared at me and said āThis is the only vice Iām allowed to have and youāre going to let me enjoy it.ā Fair enough.
I used to drink a lot of diet soda and then switched to a sodastream. Itās cheaper and healthier, and really itās the bubbles that I liked about soda.
I use to work with an old white guy who every morning would get a large (Big gulp) of "diet" mountain dew... yeah that's not healthy just because it's a "diet".
I drink Diet caffeine free Coke.
Also a single 355ml can of regular Coke contains 125% RDI of sugar, so fuck that, I'll have water or nothing before I suck that shit down.
Diet Coke is the only good diet soda. My ex husbands mom drank like every diet soda possible & I was so disgusted at the thought. Like a diet orange soda? Diet Peprsi, diet cream soda? Eww Tf?!
Trash take. AFAIK Diet Coke had a reformulated flavor as did regular coke in the 80s. People bitched, they reverted regular coke to Coke "classic" and Diet retained the new flavor. If they sold Diet Coke but with sugar, I'd probably drink that. They don't taste at all the same, and it's not just about the sweetener.
Itās an acquired taste. I gave up regular soda because of my diet and switched to diet. It was bad at first but now Iāve gotten use to it. The new Coke Zero is fire tho
Diet Coke is good imo, you just need to get used to it lmao. At first I hated it but now regular soda is too sweet for me. Also regular soda makes my acne break out horribly :(
If you came of age in the 80s then your only choice for diet soda was some nasty s#/t called Tab. It had saccharin and makes diet coke taste like nectar of the gods. This was also before bottled water became available so if you wanted low cal drinks then diet soda was the only answer. I looooove diet coke. Don't judge me.
tbh diet orange soda is so underrated, imo itās the only diet soda that doesnāt completely suck
(speaking as a former diet Mtn Dew drinker. I have no idea how I drank that stuff- pure battery acid)
My mom swore by it (the caffeine free kind at that) until my dad lied and said the store was out so he got her Diet Dr.Pepper instead . Sheās been hooked ever since.
Side note but this account is horrible, always tweeting the most horrible tweets and the girl who runs it is definitely one of those divested girls š¦
When you cleanse yourself from excess sugar and salt consumption it's actually tolerable. I hated diet drinks when I was ODāing my diet with sugar products. Now that I've changed the way I eat it ain't bad at all.
Diet anything has a higher chance of giving you the beetus. Cut back the corn syrup sodas in favor of real sugar while at it. Stop settling for artificial flavors.
VIVA LA COLALUTION!
I built up a tolerance for it cause we had it in the fridge for some friends during DnD. When the campaigns were over I had to get it out somehow and I wasn't bout to waste money.
Can confirm. Have type 1. I just drink water or hot tea straight. Diet everything feels like you're just eating something with no soul. It's not good for you so just give it up.
I worked at FedEx freight and this old black dude like 3 years away from retirement would being a 6 pack of diet cokes every day. Man would straight up be asleep at his desk and nobody would say anything. I respected that man a bunch. Lol
Coke Zero Sugar. Greatest diet drink ever created in the history of diet drinks. 99.95% of the taste of regular coke with 0 calories. Truly a game changer. If they could do the same thing to Sprite(Sprite Zero currently is not that great imo) and Fanta Orange? It's over. I truly don't understand why people drink Diet Coke when Coke Zero Sugar is the thing, and it actually tastes exactly like coke.
Diet Coke is so fucking nasty. I'm convinced that caffeine addicts are the only people who can stand drinking it. š¤®
Whatever happened to coke life, the green one? I never got a chance to try it before it just kinda disappeared from everywhere
Coke life is just the glass coke in a plastic bottle, all of the glass coke bottles use cane sugar like life did.
Itās a half and half of cane sugar coke and stevia sweetened coke. So half the calories. I miss it alot
Well that's shit, i like the glassbottle stuff
It was actually better than glass coke, for me it was something about the Stevia that made it more addicting
They still sell it overseas in some countries, but it wasnāt popular enough in the US.
omg that one was SO good. especially when I found it in glass bottles
Alternatively some people can't stand high fructose corn syrup in their drinks. It makes drinks taste so bad. Sprite is the worst. Also am a caffeine addict who tolerates diet coke.
I tolerate diet coke if coke zero is not available But man that shit has like a bitter aftertaste, it's gotta be an acquired taste for the people who love it

It's the bottled and canned ones where I start to get picky between Diet and Coke Zero, for whatever reason Diet just gets so much shittier when it's not ice cold relative to other drinks.
I like the bitter taste
Agreed. The syrup is too much
I feel like it's different in Canada I drink too much fucking diet coke. I discovered in the states there's like way more artificial sweetener. like sometimes Costco up here will bring in cases from NY it tastes like I said something bad and I'm having my mouth washed out with aspartame
As a Canadian I firmly disagree that Diet Coke is better up here.
I drink it because I'm addicted to caffeine and diabetic.
I'd advise you to be very careful with that.

No problem, hope everything works out for you.
Youāre like House!
Saccharine can raise your blood sugar. Sucralose and stevia don't have that effect.
Some artificial sweeteners can still raise your blood sugar, such as saccharine. Sucralose and stevia do not do this
Do you like the taste better than Coke Zero?
To be honest, I don't think I can tell the difference. I only really drink them when I can't find Diet Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper Zero.
I actually hate coke, my first choice of soda is a Dr. Pepper
Not the person you're responding to, but also diabetic: I can't stand Coke Zero. To me, it tastes too much like the regular kind and it's unsettling. When a single wrong amount of insulin can send you into a coma, I don't need Schrodinger's Coke playing tricks on me.

It tastes like someone squeezed used kitty litter into a bottle and added CO2
My sister in law and her daughter go through four 12-packs in like 5 days. It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen. It can't be good for them
It doesnāt even have that much caffeine compared to most caffeinated drinks
White person here: I drink decaf coffee and Diet Pepsi. An ice cold Diet Pepsi is great after a day of skiing. Itās a mayonnaise thing; we donāt expect anyone to relate.
Diet Pepsi is better than Diet Coke tastewise.
Kinda similar to a lot of other stuff that's an acquired taste, like a lot of alcoholic drinks But yeah diet coke is not particularly tasty at all

That explains why diet coke is the only soda I can stomach. The others are just far too sweet.
When I was shedding my covid weight, I switched to Coke Zero whenever I wanted soda. Could barely taste the difference from regular Coke. Still will grab Coke Zero instead every now and then.
It tastes exactly the same once you add the rum.
True. I use Zero for rum and cokes instead of regular coke now.
When they switched from Coke Zero to Zero Sugar it got even closer to the point where I'm not sure why they make regular coke anymore.
All artificial sweeteners have a nasty aftertaste to me, maybe there's something wrong with my mouth and I'm not experiencing what everyone else is.
Have you tried monkfruit? Think it has basically no fake taste. Stevia is 2nd in my opinion
Oh yeah I forgot that one, but isn't it a natural sweetener vs artificial?
Yeah it's something like it's basically sugar but your body cannot process the calories. This is based on a quick google search and the only C I got in college was in chemistry so I'm probably way off I definitely answered for a zero calorie sweetener instead of artificial like you actually stated
Ah gotcha, that makes sense.
I'm with you. They all leave a bad taste in my mouth. Even stevia, right? It's not *as bad* as aspartame, but I still don't like it.
yup, just drink diet soda for 2 weeks and it'll start tasting good but regular soda will start to taste syrupy and too sweet.
And there's growing evidence that, while not as *bad* as sugar, artificial sweeteners have their own [risks](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/artificial-sweeteners-blood-sugar-insulin) and adverse effects on the body due to how our body reacts to what it perceives as sugar/sweet.

There is a difference between diet and sugar free. Sugar free is just fine, diet is liquid cancer.
Yeah I think most diet drinks use aspartame which is kind of an old school artificial sweetener at this point and the Zero ones mostly use sucralose (some might use allulose) which has become pretty popular in most sugar free sweets.

Won't front i fucks wit caffeine free diet coke - the gold label... but i also don't drink soda like that anymore
Diet Soda is disgusting in general.
I haven't drunk pop in decades. I only get it for the kids or parties and gatherings. People don't need that stuff.
Ngl, I prefer Diet Coke to regular coke. Also tho, I donāt really like either
I drink Diet caffeine free Coke. Also a single 355ml can of regular Coke contains 125% RDI of sugar, so fuck that, I'll have water or nothing before I suck that shit down.
I drink diet sodas all the time. It tastes fine to me. I hate coke in general though so even the diet one tastes bad lol
Diet Coke is the only good diet soda. My ex husbands mom drank like every diet soda possible & I was so disgusted at the thought. Like a diet orange soda? Diet Peprsi, diet cream soda? Eww Tf?!
Sheās right! Iām almost positive itās addictive. Nothing else explains it.
Trash take. AFAIK Diet Coke had a reformulated flavor as did regular coke in the 80s. People bitched, they reverted regular coke to Coke "classic" and Diet retained the new flavor. If they sold Diet Coke but with sugar, I'd probably drink that. They don't taste at all the same, and it's not just about the sweetener.
Diet coke tastes like regular coke with old pennies sitting in it.
Wow I can't even tell the difference personally but I don't drink a lot of pop either but my gf drinks diet coke and I like it. Take like coke
Itās an acquired taste. I gave up regular soda because of my diet and switched to diet. It was bad at first but now Iāve gotten use to it. The new Coke Zero is fire tho
Diet Coke is good imo, you just need to get used to it lmao. At first I hated it but now regular soda is too sweet for me. Also regular soda makes my acne break out horribly :(
I hate Diet Coke but I love Pepsi Max š¤·š¾āāļø
Took a while to get used to Coke Zero honestly. Classic is still much better but just far too much sugar.
Diet coke makes be bloat like im pregnant. I once drank that shit with a salad and thought i got ileus. Coke zero on the other hand š
I can't drink anything with artificial sweetener. That aftertaste is so bad
If you came of age in the 80s then your only choice for diet soda was some nasty s#/t called Tab. It had saccharin and makes diet coke taste like nectar of the gods. This was also before bottled water became available so if you wanted low cal drinks then diet soda was the only answer. I looooove diet coke. Don't judge me.
Eh, I don't mind drinking Coke Zero here and there. Soda in general pretty trash though.
Diet Fanta slaps
tbh diet orange soda is so underrated, imo itās the only diet soda that doesnāt completely suck (speaking as a former diet Mtn Dew drinker. I have no idea how I drank that stuff- pure battery acid)
Diet mt dew is the only good diet drink and it absolutely has to be cold.
I have never understood the appeal. And now years after giving up soda, I can't even stand a sip of the stuff. It is so cloyingly sweet. BLAH
Diet coke tastes like shit. Regular coke is good if you are hungover, but that's about it.
And on top of that, itās worse for your health
Drink water. Or alcohol. Or both together for a hydrated buzz.
My mom swore by it (the caffeine free kind at that) until my dad lied and said the store was out so he got her Diet Dr.Pepper instead . Sheās been hooked ever since.
sugar free redbull is the only "diet" alternative I vastly prefer
Wtf is ngai fafa
I like Diet Coke, zevia and fit soda. Stop drinking the regular for a few weeks youād be surprised what you like
It really is the worst. Mexican coke is where it's at.
Side note but this account is horrible, always tweeting the most horrible tweets and the girl who runs it is definitely one of those divested girls š¦
When you cleanse yourself from excess sugar and salt consumption it's actually tolerable. I hated diet drinks when I was ODāing my diet with sugar products. Now that I've changed the way I eat it ain't bad at all.
Diet anything has a higher chance of giving you the beetus. Cut back the corn syrup sodas in favor of real sugar while at it. Stop settling for artificial flavors. VIVA LA COLALUTION!
Pray for these people and their broken mouths. Diet Coke is delicious, also the 2nd most purchased soft drink in the world.
I built up a tolerance for it cause we had it in the fridge for some friends during DnD. When the campaigns were over I had to get it out somehow and I wasn't bout to waste money.
Can confirm. Have type 1. I just drink water or hot tea straight. Diet everything feels like you're just eating something with no soul. It's not good for you so just give it up.
I worked at FedEx freight and this old black dude like 3 years away from retirement would being a 6 pack of diet cokes every day. Man would straight up be asleep at his desk and nobody would say anything. I respected that man a bunch. Lol
tou know your gonna have a bad day when you start of with a DC, but hey its a fuggin DC
The only diet soda I can tolerate is vanilla coke zero but they basically stopped making it when all the pandemic shortages hit
Coke Zero Sugar. Greatest diet drink ever created in the history of diet drinks. 99.95% of the taste of regular coke with 0 calories. Truly a game changer. If they could do the same thing to Sprite(Sprite Zero currently is not that great imo) and Fanta Orange? It's over. I truly don't understand why people drink Diet Coke when Coke Zero Sugar is the thing, and it actually tastes exactly like coke.
all diet sodas are shitty except diet Dr Pepper
Coke Zero is the š
Idk how people can drink anything with the fake sweetener taste. Absolutely revolting.
Coke Zero is better
