Diet Pepsi with aspartame returning to shelves in US 01:22 / 01:22 NEW YORK (AP) -- Diet Pepsi made with aspartame is returning to shelves in the U.S., after PepsiCo saw sales plummet following its reformulation of the drink last summer to remove the artificial sweetener. PepsiCo says it will offer "Diet Pepsi Classic Sweetener Blend" made with aspartame starting in September, in 12-ounce cans, 2-liter bottles and 20-ounce bottles. The move is intended to appease fans who don't like the taste of the reformulated drink, which is made with the artificial sweetener sucralose. But PepsiCo Inc. said Diet Pepsi made with sucralose, commonly known by the brand name Splenda, will remain its primary diet soda offering. Those cans will be silver, while the "classic" Diet Pepsi with aspartame will be come in light blue packaging. When PepsiCo removed aspartame from Diet Pepsi in August, it said the change was the No. 1 request by customers. Industry executives have blamed the declining sale of diet sodas on concerns people have about the ingredient. Several years ago, Coca-Cola Co. tested ads in select newspapers defending the safety of the sweetener. PepsiCo's replacement of the sweetener from Diet Pepsi tested the theory that it was to blame for fleeing customers, but the plan seems to have backfired. In the first quarter of this year, sales volume for Diet Pepsi sank 10.6 percent, according to industry tracker Beverage Digest. Diet Coke, which stuck with aspartame, saw volume decline a more moderate 5.7 percent. Aspartame had been linked to cancer in lab mice, but it is approved for use and the Food and Drug Administration says more than 100 studies support its safety. PepsiCo's decision to bring back Diet Pepsi with aspartame was first reported by the publication Beverage Digest. Meanwhile, PepsiCo also said Monday that Pepsi MAX will be re-introduced as Pepsi Zero Sugar in the U.S. and will still contain aspartame. Shares of PepsiCo Inc. slipped 13 cents to $101.85 amid a broad market sell-off. Its shares are up more than 7 percent over the past year. |

Tastes bad to me. |

None of the artificial sweeteners work for me. I'm down to about four sodas a year so not a big deal, but anything with the artificial sweetener gives me a queasy stomach. Not sure why, may even just be in my head. Cold water is still the best and it pairs with any food. |

The only diet pop that is not wretched is Dr. Pepper. The regular Dr.Pepper is so disgustingly sweet that I cannot handle it. I rarely drink pop, maybe one a month. That might change a bit this week because I was in a grocery store yesterday to get some butter and they had ginger beer. I broke down and bought four bottles. I drank one when I got home. That is one soft drink that does not have to be served cold. > > Cold water is still the best and it pairs with any food. |

At home I'll drink a diet cola, usually, with my meals. But when I mow the yard I do like to drink a regular Coke. Something about that sugar and caffeine spurs me on to finish those last five rows of grass. |

Nothing better or more refreshing than a nice glass of ice water. :) The only soda I ever drink (very rarely) would be ginger ale. Jill |

While mowing I brinbg plain water, my tractor has AC so I don't need to drink a lot, but when push mowing, clearing brush, etc. I wait until I'm finished and then nothing is better than a couple three ice cold brewskies. I don't drink much soda but I do enjoy seltza, I like those with natural flavor, no sugar no fake sweetener. |

A few years ago a neighbor brought me a Margarita to drink. Oh boy, was it tasty but soon my legs felt like lead. I vowed not to indulge again until AFTER I was through mowing. |

Seriously though, what does that electric lawn mower do for your electric bill? Is your electricity delivered by your local power company solar derived? |

At the end of the day I treat myself to a naturally flavored seltza, usually with a wedge of lime or lemon and a good glug of Crystal Palace... sometimes a drib of maraschino cherry juice. |

I've started to experience what I've found out is over hydrating before physical activity. For me these days physical activity is pretty much anything due to my back problems and not getting enough of it. Over hydrating can cause you to become nauseous because the water in your stomach sits there while blood races from there to other parts of your body to try to cool you off. I get all of the symptoms from nausea to shaking and confusion. I'm glad I found out what the cause of this is because it's pretty scary. I drink a lot of water and tend to run dehydrated, probably due to so many medications but I guess in this case there is a reason to not drink as much before physical activity and just make up for it after. -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

Yep! This is why the dance studio only provides tiny cups. They take a break halfway through class for water. If they are still thirsty after they finish that cup, they can go get another. That gives them enough of a break to let the water settle. I caused myself bad trouble last summer by running far too alkaline. I was drinking water with lemon, lime or other fruits in it but I did not realize that the water I bought was actually alkaline. I assumed it just had electrolytes in it. Nope. Apparently most Americans tend to be too acid. Not me and not my daughter. Most likely because the bulk of our diet is vegetables. She actually eats fruit almost daily as well. We've been tested several times and we're always slightly alkaline. |
