sulkyblueblogToday's big question - do people actually drink Diet Coke because they like the flavour? I had a bad experience with Coke Zed at the weekend and am currently trying to drink Diet Coke and this is causing me ponderings.

Date: 2006-08-01 04:44 pm (UTC)To answer your original question, I'm aware that some people do genuinely prefer the taste of diet versions (e.g. because they find the sugar version sickly), but I'm not one of them. However, I could happily drink 2L of Coke a day, which does nasty things to my WW points quota, so I make do with substitutes.

Date: 2006-08-02 12:03 pm (UTC)I prefer coke to pepsi, and think that all of the diet versions taste of evil. I like coke with a big burger or similar grease, or if I need the sugar and caffeine hit. It should be very cold.
Here's a recipe to make your own coke syrup if you're that way inclined.
