Diet soda drinkers --

[one_cat]

Diet Coke for me. DW and I always have this discussion. She drinks my diet coke and says: "Yuck!!" I say "Yuck!!" when I taste her regular coke. I don't think I could ever get used to that super-sweet sugared soda again.

LOL@ the Peach Tea! I was addicted too! But I found that the more I drank it, my joints were really hurting so I quit. It was hard to do but I really feel better!

I can drink anything. I am glad that Coke doesn't make Diet Beverly, though.

I prefer Diet Pepsi, but will buy Diet Coke if it's cheaper. If it's out of a fountain, though, I prefer Diet Coke over Diet Pepsi...Diet Pepsi tastes flat to me, from a fountain. I drink Diet Lipton Lemon Iced Tea in the summer and Diet Snapple, but prefer Lipton's. Occasionally I'll have a Crystal Light lemonade.

diet dr pepper tastes more like the real thing

i can go between diet & regular dp without a hitch. don't like colas, diet or otherwise. can't wait until red fusion comes out in diet. (geez i need to get off the sodas). I have definitely noticed that diet drinks make me crave sugar. I feel so much better when I drink water.

A few times I've accidently bought yogurt with aspertame and had to throw it away.

same thing has happened to me -- the yogurt made with aspartame is GROSS.

Wow, I didn't realize that Diet RC was now made with Splenda. I haven't tried it in years! That's good to know. Not to de-rail the thread, but does anyone know if there are any reasons kids (11 - 15) shouldn't use Splenda?

BTW - I can't stand the aspartame yogurt either. I just use the regular & take extra insulin.

Thanks,

I can't stand the taste of diet drinks. I'd rather drink water or my pop straight up.

Since they say not to drink carbonated beverages after
gastric bypass surgery, I think sugar free Tang is the
best thing around. Burnt out on the Cyrstal Light in
a heartbeat! And, now I don't have to worry about too
much 'aftereffects' from the carbonated beverages, too.

The only diet drinks I can really stand is Diet Sprite and Crystal Light lemonade. The rest of them just taste terrible.

I have not had a diet drink in over a year and I have reverted back to just drinking plain old regular sodas and lemonade. I went off of the diet stuff when my OB told me that if I wanted a soda while I was pregnant that it was better to just drink a regular coke with caffiene than it was to drink that diet stuff. That came as a bit of a shock to me and it really made me wonder about the safety of those artifical sweetners.

I like most Diet Sodas, but once in awhile need a real sugar fix and drink a regular Pepsi
