Diet Soda is an abomination!!!!

That being said, I have heard that Diet Dr. Pepper tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper than other sodas, when compared to those sodas and their diet conterparts.

away with your foul artificial commercialised brews. what about good old Dandelion & Burdock, or Black Beer & Raisin (it's not actually beer at all, of course) or Cream Soda, or traditional Sherbert, or proper lemonade made with lemons (not that overly fizzy clear carbonated ersatz excuse for lemonade)

of course if you're really desperate for an alternative to commercial pop, there's a toxic substance called "ginegr beer" which certain chimaeras exhort to the heavens, although I find that it satanically burns my tongue like some sort of concentrated acid.

you won't find a drop of coke, dr.pepper, pesi or any of that muck in Taw Towers, although occasionally you might see a bottle of Tizer or Kia-Ora or Irn-Bru or Lucozade (traditional in the orange cellophane - no phasionable "isotonic" sports drinks here - forbidden. what the flup is "isotonic" when it's at home anyway?

The best "diet soda" is seltzer water. There's no such thing as a "good" diet soda; sugar is part of the flavor and artificial sweeteners just don't taste the same.

Water drawn from a well is the best, but as store bought soda, Diet Pepsi hands down.

I don't know. I don't drink diet soda (not that I would care if I did). But If I got some diet junk, it would definetly be diet coke and some Mentos. Yehaw!

H2O > Pepsi = Coke < H2O

Most artificial sweeteners are just as bad for you as the gigantic amounts of sugar found in soda/pop/juice.

Of the sweeteners, splenda is the safest to use, but unfortunately, most pop made with it is awful. I find the best beverage to be a halfway point between regular and diet. Ocean Spray makes a line of juice flavors that have about half the sugar removed and replaced with splenda, which are actually quite good, even better than regular juice, IMO.

Diet Dr.Pepper

Post Sat Aug 26, 2006 12:34 pm

heyo - i've been trying diet flavors all week and determined the best, most authentic tasting pops to be
1.coke zero - nearly perfect, this is the ideal
2.diet dr pepper - pretty damn good
3.diet coke - not great, but widely available in larger packs and bottles than coke zero

i switched to using splenda sweetener in my coffee - its not quite the same taste, but hey it doesn't give you that really horrible coffee breath that lasts all day. also, since i switched to artificial sweeteners my teeth have been easier to keep squeeky clean and, although it might be my imagination, my lubhandles have shrunk a little

Diet Sidewinder Fang, definetly the best...
