Pepsi One has no aftertaste that I notice, and it’s fairly sweet. Diet-Rite Cola is almost as good, but it has a citrusy aftertaste. Not unpleasant, but noticeable. You’ll be amused by its presumption. 😉 Any non-colas that taste good (relatively speaking)? ---

My preference for diet soda is for diet root beer. I can make a great low-cal root-beer float with diet root beer and low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt. Yum! ---

TIBS LIKE DIET COKE. Tibs think Diet Coke God’s way of saying, “good morning, Tibs! I love you, Tibs!” Diet Coke…GOOD. Tibs. ---

A&W diet creme soda is actually pretty good, with almost no aftertaste. Shasta diet grapefruit is also nice. ---

Diet Coke. Easy. I think there’s something in it that keeps me drinking. ---

rowrrbazzle, a Pogo fan deserves an answer. Lucky’s Golden Peach. At least until they were bought out by Albertson’s, it actually tasted like peaches. Diet Pepsi is on my shit list. Am I the only person who gets the formaldyhyde taste? Omigod, imagine drinking embalming fluid… ---

I’d also suggest Diet Mountain Dew Code Red. I’ve found it to be even better than the non-diet version. ---

Mmmmm…Soda… Diet Cherry Coke just doesn’t tast like a diet drink. Never feel cheated after drinking it. Canfield’s Diet Chocolate Fudge soda is hard to find, but just unbelievable. If you can find it, taste it. ---

Pepsi 1 tops my cola list. diet RC uses splenda which I like over almost all other sweetners but I don’t care for the taste. Diet coke is good all around order out drink Diet pepsi sux but will do in a pinch Diet Mt dew to get things done 😉 ---

I haven’t been able to find it in years tho’. I like diet Dr Pepper, and diet Pepsi Twist. And nothing beats diet Sprite for an upset tummy. ---

In Order: Diet Coke Diet Dr. Pepper Diet A&W Root Beer Diet Pepsi ONLY in a can (I know, it makes no sense) and only when it is very cold. And regarding Diet Mt. Dew…what’s up with that odd film crap around the glass - looks like the remains of an Alka Seltzer? Also, I am one of those idiots who will order a Diet Coke with a slice of pie and get the rolled eye-balls from the waitress…the thing is, non-Diet drinks are just too sweet for me…it has less to do with the calories than the fact I don’t like swigging a mouthful of sugar. Am I the only one who has this problem? ---

Diet Dr. Pepper is the only diet drink that actually tastes like the real version to me. I drink Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, but only for the caffeine. I prefer them very cold with lemon slices–helps kill the nasty aftertaste. ---

Used to be a big diet 7-Up fan, but I have to say that the new diet Sierra Mist is the best stuff going, in my opinion! ---

> [@](#): > > Also, I am one of those idiots who will order a Diet Coke with a slice of pie and get the rolled eye-balls from the waitress Diet coke is very different in taste then regular coke - I would almost say that pepsi is closer to the taste of coke then D C is. Also being an atkid for many years I get a strange loom when I order a high fat meal (low carb) and a deit coke. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-diet-soda/124703.md?page=2)
