"diet" beverages...

Is there anyone else out there who absolutely cant stand that "fake sugar" taste that they all have? What brought this up is that recently I've found that drink makers advertise "0 carbs" and I always fail to notice the fact that they have that nasty taste untill after I drink it (mostly because it doesnt say DIET in big bold letters on it).

Today I got fooled by arizona blueberry green tea, which I figured wouldnt taste like ass because I like green tea, and I assumed that tea already had "0 carbs" in it. That said, everyone needs to stop drinking diet beverages and do a little exercise instead.

i hate regular pepsi... diet pepsi is amazing ... not disgustingly sugary a nice tang and you can drink it on an empty stomach without getting sick
 
I never could stand any diet drink. The aftertaste used to bother me.
Now, if I am going to have a soda, I will only drink diet stuff. It tastes now.

And it's always Jack and Diet Coke or Bacardi and Diet Coke for me.
 
Theres this guy I laugh at for buying diet soft drinks.

He goes to the drive-through burger king (cos hes too lazy to get off his fat ass) orders a super size xl bacon double cheeseburger meal..... and a diet coke! May as well go al out, I think the calories saved in the drink are negligable when you're going to eat all that crap.
 
I used to detest diet drinks but started drinking Diet Sierra Mist a couple years ago. It's the only soda I'll drink now and when I have the non-diet version, I find it way too sweet. However, I've never found any of the diet cola or "dark" diet soads appealing.

I agree. I have no choice but to drink diet beverages becuse I am diabetic.

Acquired taste. I don't know many people who drink a beer and think it's delicious the first go round either. Unless it's a really, really good beer I've yet to find. Hard liquor for me, thanks.
 
once you switch to diet you never look back at those sugary sodas that make your mouth all dry and sticky.

sugarfree sodas are also much more thirst quenching
 
I have no problem with diet soda, its just the fact that its getting harder and harder to tell whats "diet" and what isnt.
 
I used to hate diet soda as well. But like other's have said it's an aquired taste. After you've had it for a while your taste buds get used to it and think it tastes just like normal sweetner.

Good comparission on the beer Bryan
 
I used to drink regular soda then years ago switched to only diet. I had a regular Coke once since then and could barely stand it, it was like straight syrup.

Diet Sunkist FTW
 
I'm not a fan of diet drinks either. I spend $20/week on flavored water like Fruit 2O or Aquafina Citrus. It keeps me feeling much better, helps me lose weight, and I'm acne free... lol. Flavored water is in!!!
 
I tried the Fruit2O and almost gagged when I tasted the Nutrasweet or whatever else crap they put in it.

Why can't they flavor it with a little sugar from real fruit juices instead of the fake crap? I'd rather die from obesity brought on by sugary drinks then die from cancer brought on by drinks with carcinogenic sweeteners...

It's sweetened by sucralose, and the lemon flavored water is freaking awesome.
 
diet 7up is good, especially really cold (you taste less of the taste if you don't like it) I don't mind though. Still can't stand diet coke or pepsi but thats because i don't drink it enought to accept it.

and any calorie loss is a calorie loss that you don't have to work off later. Drinking diet soda isn't likely to make you lose a lot of weight but it can help keep you from gaining it at a higher rate... leaves more room for icecream and chocolate
