Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Every other diet soda is unpalatable to me, it just tastes so off that I would rather drink water. Diet Coke is different because it is designed around its bitter taste. Maybe I am alone.

Just drink water.

Diet coke tastes like straight up chemicals to me. Coke zero is way more palatable.

My favorite is cherry dr pepper zero though.

It’s better than Diet Pepsi, but so is dying of dehydration.

What are your thoughts on diet mountain dew or sprite?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Hard disagree. citrus soda for some reason handles the diet chemical aftertaste better and of course the king of citrus soda is mountain dew.
