So… I was preparing egg salad for lunch and also pouring myself a nice tall glass of diet Mountain Dew. I got distracted and poured the DMD into the egg salad. Realizing the culinary faux pa, I drained off the pop. The salad came out okay.

A little extra sugar tastes good in lots of stuff! ;)
Actually, since the OP uses Diet MD, it's Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose. ;)
The above are under research to see if they too contribute to obesity.

Two of the nastiest sweeteners known to man. Zero sugar Powerade sucks and induces headaches in me while Ensure with Acesulfame Potassium was nasty bitter.

Better off eating a real orange.

I get pounding headaches from Aspartame. (Nutra-Sweet) :confused_old:

In fact artificial sweeteners in general make me feel crappy, however Sucralose is one of the few that doesn't seem to cause any ill-effects. (doesn't taste great though)

I was going to attribute a flavor boost to brominated vegetable oil, but it turns out they quit using it in 2020!

Soda should only exist to have alcohol in it, if you are over 25 years old. Eggs are not alcohol, so no.

Better Than It Sounds: Vietnamese Egg Soda (Soda Sua Hot Ga)

I like to mix 3 or 4 different sodas and test them. Its usually good. Dont use cola though, it messes up everything else.

Just OK? Good thing... Shepherd Wong might have come looking for you.
