Favorite Diet Soda?
I love Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi (Which you can barely tell is diet), but I can't find it in the 12 packs. So I've settled for Diet Dr. Pepper, and it's just not that great. So when I get rid of this box, I'm going to find something else. Any suggestions?

1. I find the Pepsi products to be closest to original taste,
except for diet Mountain Dew, which tastes not much like the original.

Diet A&W Root Beer is pretty tasty, too.

2. Hi, Duckie! Dig the Avatar. I like Coke Zero --
but it has to be COLD.

So far it's the best I've found.

4. I don't really care for it that much...
Skip is crazy about it, but it makes my mouth feel a little powdery. It's weird.

3. While not technically "diet,"
I'm addicted to Fresca. It's got no calories, no fat, etc., so by the numbers, it's comparable to diet sodas. If you like citrus, I find it has the best taste. I just like the original citrus flavor, though they've got 3 or so different varieties (peach, etc.).

5. Don't drink any, actually.
I only drink sparkling fruit-flavored waters. Try that, instead! Much better for you than that other stuff, with the fake chemical sugar crap.... yuck.

My two cents, for what it's worth....

:hi:

6. The Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper was pretty good...
Personally I haven't found a diet soda that I truly enjoy but this one is probably one of the better ones.

24. I can't get enough of that stuff!
If I could get a machine in my house, I would :)

Evidently, others around me like it too, because sometimes it's hard to find. :(

29. I like that one too
the non-diet one is way too sweet for me, but the diet version is just right :)

12. Diet RC or Diet Big Red
Both made with Splenda, so they taste like soda, not aspertame. Diet RC is less sweet than Diet Pepsi, and that's good.

22. Sorry.
I'm the opposite - it's the only one that doesn't make me sick. Funny old world, huh?

19. I've found that
drinking water with a meal makes the food taste better. It's not clouded by the taste of the soda. And in between meals---I never get tired of it.
