Anyone have the new Pepsi ONE??

[LeonarD26]

The woman just picked some up from the store. It's in a new black can/bottle.

I think it tastes great.... similar to Diet Rite, which is also made with Splenda.

What do you think?!

 

[StageLeft]

Yeah< IMO it's inferior to the older stuff. The old stuff had a chemical aftertaste that mrsskoorb abhored, but I am finding that although splenda is generally the best sweetener, it is NOT good for sodas. Diet Rite, obviously, is foul fecal water, but even pepsi couldn't quite get rid of the very nasty aftertaste that splenda has in sodas. I will finish my two boxes but not be all that likely to buy anymore. Probably go back to diet pepsi.

Splenda will give you cancer long before normal sugar will.

But seriously, I just don't trust all this synthetic crap. Face it, humans can't do it the same as mother nature. The only exception is synthetic oil. I'll take my chances with 100+ calories thank you.

 

[Fritzo]

I don't detect much of an aftertaste, but I've been drinking diets for 10 years now.

Your ability to stay on topic gets an F.

For me it's 11-12, and I'm not just putting in that marginally higher number to be a dick

 

[Colt45]

yeah. i feel the extra calories and flavour outweigh any knockoff diet BS.

D-, simply because you didn't go into such detail on it.

Um, isn't splenda just sucralose with lots of inert powder around it? The average large box of splenda has like a teaspoon or two of scuralose and the rest is random powder stuff (dextrose and/or maltodextrin?). Sucralose is made from sugar so.... it seems fairly natural, at least more natural than nutrasweet.

Yes, you did actually.

Your new name is, Dietary Health Dick.

I can't wait till America gets off this retarded health kick. Anyone who is on the Atkins diet is a complete moron. Its your fault you got so fat, Atkins will not make you healthy just because your losing weight. People let themselves get too fat, and now everyone has to put up with all this diet crap atkins talk.

Worse, you can't even give your opinion because Health Dicks like Skoorb chime in about how your opinion doesn't matter, all that matters is cutting the calories. All that matters is cutting the carbs. American's were better as fat slobs, at least they weren't all total elitist a$$holes. I hope they find out Splenda shrinks your nuts.

Ahhhh .... I feel better now

Two Fs equals automatic failure, Amd!

puke

 

[BlueWeasel]

It took me a while to get used to the taste of diet sodas, but now that's all I drink. Cutting calories is not the "end all be all" for me, but if I drink 2 or 3 diet sodas (which I enjoy) instead of regular sodas, that's 300-400 calories I could use somewhere else.

[Edit]
It's a moot point anyway...considering I probably average 3-4 diets drinks per week.

 

[monk3y]

Haven't had a soft drink in over a few months...

Yea. I am the 'Off Topic Failure of Off Topic'.

But at least I'm not the 'Dietary Health Dick'.

I'm just kidding BTW, well sort of. Its nothing to do with you personally, I just don't understand how everyone can go from McDonald's 2 times a day to the Atkins Health Nuts you find everywhere, over night. Its like they didn't know McDonalds was bad for them until everyone started talking about it. Its the same with the whole anti-ciggerette theme everyone is on. You mean you didn't think that inhaling smoke was harmful BEFORE everyone told you so.

America is really nothing but a gigantic flock of sheep. Humans are all sheep actually, but American's are the most sheeply of sheep. And more so now then ever.

 

[40Hands]

I have not tried the new Splenda Pepsi but IMO splenda > nutrasweet. I don't drink soda anymore. When I did, I could never drink diet soda. That nasty aspartame aftertaste is so disgusting.

 

[Babbles]

I like it, however I do think I like the original Pepsi One a little bit more. The difference between the two taste-wise isn't enough to drive me away from either of them. I really love Splenda but it just didn't quite work as well as I thought it would in Pepsi One.

I agree that society's weak are especially prone to fads, but I've been elitist about this kind of thing for more than a decade, so it's nothing new to me. I've been looking down on people who eat fast food all the time for years and years, if that's of any help to you.

 

[ShowdOWN]

all i can say is yuck. i got a free one at a convention i was attending and it tasted awful. maybe because i dont drink any type of sweetners.

 

[LeonarD26]

Well, I can't say I love it but it's solid. I'd much prefer regular Diet Pepsi....

I don't think I could drink regular soda anymore. The excess sugar is just too much.

HAHAHAHA....how did he get from aftertaste to the Atkins diet??? Anyway, anyone that drinks regular sodas is probably still young. They don't realize that that 2 liter they drink per day has 600-1000 calories in it.

 

[kaymin]

The HALF sugar soda is the best. Normal soda is just way too sweet and diet soda is too chemically.

 

[Viper GTS]

Did they recently switch to Splenda?

Had it a few times when it first came out but typically bought good old Diet Pepsi.

Picked up a couple of 24 packs recently, it's not bad.

I survived yesterday & today on Grape Nuts Flakes & Pepsi One (car is getting its timing belt replaced & I'm too lazy to cook).

Yeah they did, and Coke has a splenda drink coming out this summer too. Splenda and carbonation just don't seem to play well together though.

 

[trmiv]

I think it sucks. It tastes too sweet, and very artificial tasting. I bought 12 pack, but I could only drink it when eating something, otherwise the taste alone was too much.
