> [@rjung](#): > > I _love_ Diet Pepsi. What’s with all the hate? Yeah, me too. But I abandoned it for Diet Coke with Lemon. Then all the local stores stopped carrying my lemony goodness. So one day Lady Chance came to me with a case of Diet Pepsi and a bottle of lemon juice. Now I make it myself. ---

Well, when you drink a rum and some kind of cola, you’re just having a drink; when you start downing just the rum (especially right out of the bottle 😉 ), people talk. Any way, I’ve found it doesn’t much matter what I mix my rum with, after the first four, I don’t much care one way or the other. 😃 ---

**Jonathan Chance** , you should look for Diet Pepsi Twist, which is basically Diet Pepsi with lemon. My husband hates regular diet colas, but likes the “flavored” ones, except for Diet Coke with Lime. That stuff is vile! Why is it the only flavored diet Coke that Cub Foods carries in 24-packs? They don’t always have it in 12-packs, either…It’s easier to find Tab (I kid you not!) than Diet Coke with Lemon or Vanilla at that store. Good thing we’ve now got Super Target. You should all try Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, though. That stuff is actually good. Even I will drink that one. It tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper than Diet Dr. Pepper does. ---

Been diabetic for about 15 years, so I’m used to diet soda. Diet Pepsi is my favorite, and it does taste good with a splash of cherry cola in it. Pepsi One is nasty stuff. I can’t drink it. I’ll agree that Diet Barq’s is quite probably the best diet soft drink around. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-those-who-hate-the-taste-of-diet-cola/299917.md?page=1)
