Today'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.

Actually I prefer a Cola/Diet Cola 50:50 mix, but it's hard to get that in most places...

Haven't tried the new Coke Zero yet but intend to when I get the chance. I don't like the taste of diet coke, but feel I ought to since the full fat is so ful of sugar...

I don't like either Coke or Pepsi. They're fizzy, for a start, and then either they're full of sugar, which tastes nasty, or they're full of artificial sweetener, which tastes nasty.

In an attempt to be more useful: I put diet tonic in my gin, because the sugar in the regular stuff takes away from the flavour of the gin. If I put a load of lime juice in, the regular stuff is OK.

I don't like cola at all, I drink doctor pepper (full sugar).

I also don't like people using the word "regular" to mean "ordinary".

My basic rule of thumb is that I prefer normal Coke to normal Pepsi, but I prefer the diet versions of Pepsi to the diet versions of Coke. I do prefer Pepsi Max to Diet Pepsi, but I tried out Coke Z recently and it was almost an effort to finish it (I had half of the bottle at work and the other half when I got home), so I won't be buying that again. Sadly the canteen here is Coke-variants only, so I'm stuck with Diet Coke rather than a Pepsi variant.

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.

I can't abide Pepsi, or anything diet. Tastes of ick.

dr pepper or pepsi max if i actaully drank caffine anymore.
caffiene coke is an abomination.

All of those accessories I would add at some time or another; the ice would be the most usual.

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.
