In Praise of Diet Coke with Lime

I noticed this flavor and thought it sounded good but they only make it in diet, and I cannot stomach the flavor of diet. Why no regular Coke with lime? Huh?

Just what I was gonna say.

On the other hand, I prefer Pepsi. Coke it too sugary for me (tastewise).

As someone who honestly prefers the taste of diet pop, I have no sympathy for regular pop drinkers on this one, heh. Far too often I’ve seen really cool new flavours for pop (or at least interesting ones I’d like to try) and they’re only in regular. Sprite Remix, Mountain Dew Livewire, a buttload of Faygo flavours, I have a hell of a time finding Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi (only 1 Krogers around here has it, and only in cans; I prefer bottles), etc. At last, I feel like there’s a pop that’s just in diet form to balance out these injustices! :smiley:

DrMemory- oddly enough- to us Diet drinkers- the sugared stuff tastes nasty. Beleive it or not, I can have you converted also. For a month- switch to Diet ONLY. No backsliding AT ALL. And drink as much soda as you usually do. For the first few days- you’ll hate it. After a while, you’ll not notice the so-called "nasty diet taste. After a month, try a regular soda- it will taste sickly sweet & syrupy.

Those little plastic limes & lemons are preserved with some nasty tasting stuff that ruin the citrus taste for me.

I usually prefer Diet Pepsi, Diet Pepsi Twist, or regular Coca-Cola, but I have to agree that Diet Coke with Lime is tres cool. I might even drink it more over the Diet Pepsi, as I’m looking for a change in my regular habits.

On the other hand, Vanilla Diet Coke is just evil. :wink:
