    All diet drinks. Whatever sugar substitutes they use taste awful no matter what. Now there are products I can’t consume because the default version has fake sugar as well. Nasty stuff.

      Part of it is just getting used to it. I used to hate the no sugar versions of Coca-Cola®️. Other than the taste the viscosity is also ‘wrong’ in Coke zero. The sugary versions is much thicker.

      I switched anyway because I was drinking too many calories.

      Strangely though, real Coke now tastes weird to me. There is this strange aftertaste that I never noticed before switching to zero.

        It also helps with the Zero-style ones that they use a couple of different sweeteners.

        One of the tricks I found is that when I occasionally want sweet tea, I’ll take a packet of Equal, sucralose, and stevia and add to my glass. You get more of the sweet but without enough of each one that the bitterness or other weird taste you get when you use enough to make it super-sweet doesn’t happen. It just tastes sweet.

        im the same with diet “soda”, now the sugary ones is just too sweet and you know you feel bad drinking it. i think mexican coke, aka cane sugar is the best one from what ive heard.

      Totally agree. Since they have a super tax here all the drinks have gone either fully diet or reduced sugar and added sweeteners to it.
      I can’t stand it. Coke is basically the only hold out left and the full sugar version is getting less and less prominent in supermarkets.

      aspartame, is the most common amongst diet sodas brand names. people dont like stevia soda, because some people apparently taste it differently.(the brand names like zevia, makes it sickly sweet)

      I like it better. I can’t stand regular coke or pepsi, it tastes like syrup. Diet ones are better. Nowdays I’m enjoying Pesi Black, really nice taste.
