There is one diet drink that I like, President's Choice Diet Cola. It is
the only one that does not have the horrid artificial sweetener aftertaste.
The rest of them are horrid, with the exception of a Pepis product that was
sugar reduced and wasn't too bad. The worst has to be diet tonic water.
That being said, I find most soft drinks too sweet and rarely drink them
anyway.

My favorite is Diet Mountain Dew. Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi and Diet A&W
are also very good.

I've consumed nearly exclusively diet sodas for about 30 years. Regular
soda tastes odd and cloying to me by now.

Diet Dr. Pepper.

Aren't "Blecch!" and "Never" the same thing? ;-)

I chose Blecch! I tried to drink it for about a
year because I needed to cut down on sugar. I don't
drink a lot of soda but I like a glass of ginger
ale or Coke with most meals. The carbonation seems
to help my digestion. Anyway, after drinking diet
ginger ale for a year I gave up. I never got used
to it. I can still taste the artificial sweetener.
It leaves an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth. I
know when the new sweeteners came out they claimed
that they didn't do that like saccharin did. Well,
I can still taste it even if most people can't. So
no sugar-free products for me at all. They all taste
nasty to me.

I do not willingly drink diet sodas since I find the taste much
inferior to the real thing. But let me express the heretical
opinion that they are not "disgusting", at least not so much
that if I bought a diet soda by mistake I would throw it away.

I have not tried many diet drinks outside of the mainstream choices and
would pitch out most of the ones that I have tried. The only two that I can
tolerate are Sprite Zero and Pepsi One. Oddly enough, I do drink my iced tea
unsweetened with just a half of one packet of either Equal or Nutra-Sweet
whichever is available.

I'm a Fresca fan... and I think the new Fresca Peach is pretty good.
But I also like Black Cherry.

I drink diet soda because I drink about 2 liters a day... and I prefer
my sugar ration from the vodka and fruit juice I add.

The black cherry is just plain old store brand... a kid's flavor! I
like a few glugs in my screw driver, the color adds that fancy
schmancy up town bar image. But mostly I drink plain black cherry
over ice.

I don't know if they have Diet Rite up here, but I've seen a different
brand of white grape, I think Polar brand.

We get so dry and thirsty at work (which admittedly does cut down on
those bathroom breaks) and get so tied up with traumas that we can
barely take a moment to stop. Most of us carry those large liter
Rubbermaid bottles to work and are using those calorie-free little
packets of flavored drink mixes mixed with water and ice. Crystal light
is one popular one, but there are a lot of them that flavor the water as
well as add a touch of caffeine or vitamins and many remain clear in the
water which I like and is less obvious since we're not *supposed* to
have ANY drinks in the unit. We nurse a slug from the bottle as we dash
by and it really helps keep dehydration at bay. I've found a black
cherry packet that is pretty darn good (Vitamix, I think?) and we all
bring various boxes of flavors in our bags to mix, match, trade and
share. I drink a lot more water with those. Carbonated sodas just don't
hydrate me.

Mine doesn't taste nasty. It has no sugar, and no artificial sweetener.
It's just plain soda. Many people don't like it. I do.

I like soda. It is quite tasty with a slice of lemon and/or lime.

Yup...and Fresca. Diet Rite makes some good fruit - flavoured ones,
e.g. orange, black cherry, etc...and like the cherry flavoured Coke
Zero.

OTOH Diet Pepsi is gawdawful...right down there with Diet Mountain
Dew.

Wasn't Fresca one of the first lo - cal sodas, along with Tab?

Yep, that is GOOD...Diet Rite has some interesting flavours, and DR is
usually always on sale, too...I never pay more than 79 - 99 cents per
2 litre bottle...

These I also use in the summer for lo - cal smoothies, e.g. some low -
fat milk, non - fat yogurt, some of the fruity soda pop...very tasty.

Soda water contains salt and bicarbonate... seltza water is pure
water.

Yeah, but soda water isn't sweet. I like it, too, with a squeeze of lime.

I like it. It's one of the main caffeine sodas I drink. I also enjoy
Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi.
