Diet Rite

No caffeine
No sodium
No Aspartame


And they have different flavors other than cola.


Oh, Diet Big Red, too, I believe uses Splenda.

Have you guys tried Diet Sprite Zero? It's the best Diet soda out there.

Definitely! :thumbsup: I drink it all the time now. I also like Fresca, 7UP Plus (splenda), and Diet Dr Pepper.

All you Diet Dr Pepper fanatics reread the thread title. It's not a cola.

Diet Barq's Root Beer is best in my opinion.

Do you mean C2? it is half Splenda and half sugar. half the sugar, half the carbs. ;)

it's pretty good. i just had one.

but it is more carbs/sugar than Diet Coke / Diet Pepsi.

Diet Coke tastes awful (although I can tolerate it now if I have to), I've never tried this "Diet Rite" of which you speak, so I choose Diet Pepsi.

Edit: Oh, and Diet Dr. Pepper is way better than any of those three (assuming the one I haven't tried is similar to the others :p)

DP, obviously. DC is good in an emergency, and DR is good if you want to poison somebody. Awful crap. They really bungled it, considering they used splenda, which is the best artificial sweetener. What a joke it is.

Pepsi is ass in all its forms. I voted for Coke out of the available selections, though I prefer a couple others that are not listed.
