Are there any diet drinks that do not taste like crap?

I'm trying to find a diet soda, but so far all of the ones that I have tried have sucked. Those people that drink diet drinks, what do you drink?

When I temporarily cut pop out of my diet, I started drinking water, with a slice of lemon, with some aspertame so I'd get my "sweet" fix. 1 month of not drinking pop and changing nothing else helped me lose 7 lbs.

Of course, as soon as I started drinking pop again, I gained them right back.

I'll second Viper's Dr. Pepper thought, you can tell it's diet but it's not as bad as say diet Coke. I can't see how some people can say diet and regular taste the same. Diet Coke tastes like fvckin ass compared to regular Coke.

yes, i must tend to agree, Diet Dr Pepper is the only thing even remotely close to resembling the orginal....still, i never drink it.

I don't mind Diet Vanilla Coke (the vanilla flavor helps hide the diet aftertaste). Fresca is pretty good too.

I agree, diet sodas have to be ICE cold to be palatable, though.

I think all diet pop tastes fine. I can't stand non-diet pop though, makes my mouth feel like its coated with sludge after drinking it.

You might want to try some that is sweetened with splenda/sucralose though if you don't like the nutra-sweet ones. The Diet Rite line is the most popular that use it. There is a brand called Waist Watchers that use it also, but its a more regional thing. The Diet Rite cola is a bit on the overly sweet side (which might appeal to non-diet drinkers more), but the rest all taste great.

Most sodas whether they're diet or not will dehydrate you, so I would avoid them.
My top choices for beverages are water, crystal light, and iced tea.

Diet sodas taste terrible, for the most part. Although Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi is semi-okay in my book.

you get used toit. i switch back and forth easily. diet colas are good. diet dew is nasty. dew relies too much on sugar.
