For different reasons at different times.

What we both noticed was that after a while (several months) of not drinking coke or diet coke when we would drink coke or whatever it didn't taste good. To me it tastes like shit and I was a coke drinker from childhood.

I suspect that coke/pepsi know this and need to get people hooked early.

I still drink fruity style drinks like body armor, bai and those different V8s occasionally, but I avoid HFCS like the plague.
