> [@choie](#): > > Ooh, where’s ‘here’? I’ve since done some research and did indeed discover CFDDP, but the reason I never knew about it was because for some ridiculous reason, the NY bottlers don’t make it / distribute it (whatever the proper term is). Craziness! How could you not sell such a glorious product to one of the most populous cities in the U.S.? “Here” is Utah, which is exactly where one would expect to find CFDDP if it exists. The can in my fridge says it was canned in Worland, Wyoming. > [@](#): > > Fresca is pretty darn good, though. I just miss my lovely, dessert-like Diet Dr. Pepper, which I used to chugalug before I decided to cut out caffeine. Fresca’s not bad, but I find Shasta Diet Grapefruit is superior because it’s sweetened with Splenda. ---

Sprite Zero’s marketing slogan in Japan: “Sexier than water.” Um… ---

Ok, to those that were extolling the greatness of Diet Rite, I must sadly concurr with your opinion. This stuff is awesome. I remeber it from when I was a little kid and this stuff was awful. But I tried some of the “pure zero” stuff last night and it was awesome. For those interested, I had the Cherry Cola flavor. I’m looking forward to trying some of the other flavors now. I’m glad that someone, somewhere, actually liked this stuff when it tasted like utter shite. Now I have another wonderful diet drink to help me on my long road to fitness. Man this is one long assed road… ---

> [@Ro0sh](#): > > Actually, the best diet to regular counterpart I’ve seen is Diet Barq’s Root Beer.

I’m generally a Diet Cokeaholic, but love the PC brand diet fruit sodas. My favourites are the grapefruit, blackcurrant, green apple and lychee flavours (I love tart+sweet flavoured stuff). ---

Sorry, **Little Bird**. I withdraw my criticism. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future. Drink up. ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > The continous yeast infection left a bad taste in my mouth so to speak 🙂 The tingling, burning sensation means I love you. Don’t fight my love. PS - you are correct. That which is referred to as “diet” Fresca is the same as Fresca. It is fabulous with its grapefruity goodness. ---

> [@Snickers](#): > > There’s a Diet Coke that’s made with Splenda, too - it’s got a **blue stripe** on it, along the Coke swooshy thing, and a cool little “Splenda” seal. > > I’m just waiting for the POTB to start using their tasty diet cola technology to make Diet Dew taste exactly like real Dew - they’d make millions from me, that’s certain. _Au contraire_ - the Diet Coke with Splenda has a _yellow_ stripe, [seen in this pic](http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/presscenter/img/imagebrands/downloads/lg_diet_coke_splenda.jpg). The Diet coke with the BLUE stripe is [Diet Coke Plus](http://www.nextnature.net/research/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/diet_coke_plus_nextnature.jpg), which is the nastiest stuff known to currently exist. It’s got a very “metallic”, zinc-ey taste to it, and generally tastes like someone took all the leftover Diet Coke cans and liquified them. Do NOT mix the two up - you won’t be happy. ---
