Are there any diet sodas that don't taste terrible? -

[MuuMuu Bunnylips]

Every kind I've had taste like someone else drank them first.

 

[The Last Stand]

Diet drinks taste watered down. I would say there is no such thing. It's all nasty.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Does Coca Cola Zero count?

 

[whatever I feel like]

The diet versions of sodas you don't normally drink are good because you don't know what is "wrong" with them. Except diet root beer, you don't have to be an aficionado to know that there is something very wrong with those so-called drinks.

I just find it hard to believe with all the shit we can do that they can't come up with something that tastes right.

I stock up on Cherry Coca-Cola Zero this time of year as Coca-Cola only ships it to Canadian stores once a year, around the beginning of March.

I haven't seen any in stores yet this year, however. At least I still have around 10 cans left from last year.

Diet soda is an acquired taste. Eventually the taste difference becomes normal.

Spoiler

It's all fucking terrible for you though. Make the choice, diabetes with normal soda or cancer with diet.

Or you can just drink water.

Try Virgils diet sodas. They don't use artificial sweeteners. I found them to be good enough on a keto diet.

My family has a lot of type I diabetes (the non fatty, insulin dependent kind) so I grew up never drinking full calorie soda. It is an acquired taste and as an adult I don't like the taste of any soda with sugar so most diet shit tastes good and normal to me.

Coke Zero > Diet Coke. Diet Mountain Dew is ok too. Diet Code Red is especially tasty. Diet Dr. Pepper is nasty tho, it's good when it's crisp and cold but starts tasting like ass the moment it warms up a bit. Diet orange sunkist is also great.

You poor bastard but thank you for this perspective, I feel rich now.

Diet sodas aren't too bad. The thing is, you have to ween yourself off regular sodas and stay off for about a month until you try diet.

 

[CWCchange]

Diet Vanilla Coke, among other flavors. I'm very popular on here when I said Diet Coke will always be better than Coke Zed.

 

[BlueSpark]

Like Marissa said, C.oke Zero. C.oke Zero is made to taste as close to regular coke as possible.

You should bare in mind that "diet" drinks that contain artificial sweeteners are still bad for you and may even be worse than regular soda:

Many people drink diet soda as a low or zero calorie alternative to regular soda. While it may seem like the better choice, diet soda still has health risks. Learn about them here.

[Spl00gies]

I find you especially have trouble with weening when it comes to coke zero

 

[Captain Fitzbattleaxe]

Fanta raspberry is pretty good.

 

[Papa Adolfo's Take'n'Bake]

What's unironically better for you to do is to make your own syrups and mix them with club soda.

E.g. my favorite, when I have time is:
Lemon juice (hand squeezed, about the juice from half the lemon.)
Simple syrup (sugar + water simmered for a while.) (or agave nectar, whichever is on hand.)
Club soda with ice

Make the syrup first by dissolving the sweetener into the lemon juice
Pour over the club soda
Stir.

Schwip Schwap (PepsiCo's spezi, a Cola & Fanta mix) Zero is pretty good.

Dunno if it's sold outside Germany but wouldn't be hard to mix yourself.

What's the point? Go through all that trouble to get yourself off of sodas just to hop back on with their mutant diet step-child.

 

[Cat Menagerie]

I have a diabetic (real diabetes, not the fatass kind) husband. Cuke Zero and Diet Dr. Pepper are what we usually get.

Try Virgils diet sodas. They don't use artificial sweeteners. I found them to be good enough on a keto diet.

I've not seen this but I looked it up, and it looks as if it's carried here locally. I'll have to grab some this week.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Does Seltzer and flavored sparkling waters count?

Or are those the drinks of infidels because they lack any real flavor despite what the flavor the can claims?

 

[Pee Cola]

Cork Zero* was the only diet soda that didn't taste like entirely like liquified chemical warfare. I'd go as far as to say that it was pretty darn good when served from a glass bottle. Sadly, those dickheads at The Coca-Cola Company decided that Cork Zero* was too good, thus replacing it with Coke No Sugar a.k.a. Diet Coke Pour Homme.

Sparkling mineral water is now my preferred diet soda of choice.

EDIT: *Deliberate misspelling ... the correct spelling uncovers one heck of an Easter egg, though I'm probably in discovering it.
EDIT the second: wtaf ... nobody else ITT seems to be having any Cork Zero issues. Maybe I'm exceptional.

Spoiler: For the benefit of my fellow newfags
