OK, does anyone remember when they made clear Coke? Or the blue Pepsi? Why do they try to mess with the originals? Personally, I dont like either, but I love Diet Coke. I dont know why, I cant stand the fake taste of sucralose and aspertame and all of that fake sugar, but for some reason I love Diet Coke.
A fun experiment: Put a packet of Splenda in a glass of Diet Coke... and get some napkins.
I prefer the original Coke over every other variant Coke and Pepsi.
Original Coke = nice kick in the aftertaste. The downside is that it also leaves your mouth feeling rather strange. Original Pepsi = gives me the impression I'm drinking nothing but sugared foam. Diet variations give me a headache. The other flavors, in my opinion, are distasteful.
