I think it's very strange that people who want to diet drink diet sodas. I mean they must have really really cushy/boring lives. It's not that hard to just NOT DRINK SODAS!!!
sure, the caffeine is addictive, but there are countless other ways to satisfy your addiction. I just can't believe some people are that lazy that they feel they MUST continue drinking soda but switch to Diet to satisfy their diet.

It's ALL Bad for you really!

Diet Coke/C2 might give you cancer in a few years because of it's sugar substitute. Regular will make you fat right away.

Take your Pick??

What about Splenda? Its a modified sucralose so the body didn't absorb it.

I tried some of that once. It made me dizzy and made my pulse increase.

That was just about half of a packet.

that white powdery substance you had wasnt splenda:Q

Did it ever occur to you that some people actually like the taste of diet better? I know I do.

Actually, I like diet better....doesn't leave that sugary, acid tooth burn in my mouth. Plus, it's not hard to not drink soda, but it's conveniently available. Besides water, what other drinks do they have at fountains?

Diet Rite is the best diet soda ever. It is 100% splenda, so it tastes like regular soda, but has zero calories. And it comes in a bunch of nifty flavors too!

Not the Diet Rite I've bought, it had Splenda + Aspartame. Pepsi Edge has sucralose (Splenda) + regular sweeteners (corn syrup and/or high fructose corn syrup), I think it's good, but still has the 'diet' taste.
