I've always heard about that heat thing in here but I have to tell you I
have been drinking diet drinks with aspartame for many years and there
is always one left unfinished somewhere in my car at any one time. I
have never noticed a difference in flavour, sometimes they even still
have gas. I live in a very hot climate. I can drink something that's
been sitting in my drink holder for months during summer and no change
of taste. once again, like canning there may be some kind of difference
here in Australia to you guys. Could even be an ingredient difference.
I do know for one thing that we don't use HFCS in anything.
