[QUOTE=Ponder Stibbons] ‘Savory, Septic, Dog Shit Delight’ Sounds like a bad 70’s pop single by the Starland Vocal Band. [/QUOTE] “Skyrockets in flight, Septic Shit Delight! Woah-oh-Septic Shit Delight!” The “savory” and “dog” don’t parse metrically, but otherwise, you’re right on. ---

[QUOTE=DrDeth] If you switch to diet- _and **only** diet_- for somewhere between 2 to 4 weeks; then diet will taste normal and sugar sodas will taste syrupy and nasty. That Tab energy drink was nasty too, though. [/QUOTE] Well, yeah, but that’s true of anything: consume it long enough and it becomes normal. But _diet_ soda? It’s like meatless chili. Don’t get me started on caffeine-free. The whole POINT of soda is to give you sugar and caffeine. You take those two elements out, all you have is fizzy water with toxic chemicals designed in a laboratory to imitate what you really want. Like veggie-burgers. Or fat-free bacon. Or Kenny G. Either drink the real thing, or don’t. Faking it is…well, faking it. ---

This is – um – _weird_. I opened this thread, went out, bought some of the soft drink in question, and came back to read this. I have not tasted it yet. I … kind of … want to, now. ---

I’m not clear on whether you liked this drink or not. Maybe you should try this free can I’m teleporting to you and get back to us, kay? ---

You see, I hate the taste of water. Thus, diet soda cover up the nasty taste of water with a sweet taste- at least for me. And, there’s no added calories to add to my weight. To _me_, the whole point of soda is to cover up the nasty tatse of water. But- I am strange. 😛 ---

That was an _outstanding_ OP! I must point out, however, that your first mistake was purchasing a Pepsi product. Blech. ---

Okay, I tried one today at the university, and I thought it tasted like flat wild cherry soda mixed with flat Dr Pepper. But perhaps over time I have become inured to feculence. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-want-a-rim-job/366124.md?page=3)
