Diet Pepsi now contains sucralose

Unless they changed the flavor profile, it’s going to taste rather different. They did Diet Coke with Splenda, and I remember it tasting very different. It was missing the characteristic “diet” taste, but still was flatter than pure sugar.

Sorry, pet peeve: its main ingredient is dextrose, a sugar, which is a carbohydrate, which contains 3.87 calories per gram. Yet the manufacturer claims zero calories due to rounding error. It also has maltodextrin; a carb. Only the sucralose part is a diet product.

Also, there is little proof that aspartame is bad for you, but other sugar alternatives can fucking kill you. Take that, hippies.

(Never understood the need for multiple diet cola brands. Pepsi Max vs Diet Pepsi. Diet coke vs Coke Zero).

Because some taste better than others. They don’t all taste alike. Diet Coke is similar to the discontinued New Coke. Coke Zero is more like Coke Classic. My personal preference is for Coke Vanilla Zero.

What drinks do you consider acceptable?

I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol.
