eh, ees alright. I prefer the original Diet Coke taste better, not as sweet

 

[CQ]

I have emailed both Pepsi and Coke a few times each in the last year BEGGING them to come out with a line that is sweetened with Splenda vs Aspartame. I am allergic to Aspartame, addicted to caffeine, don't like coffee, and don't want the extra calories from regular soda. I have been stuck drinking Diet RC for so long, because that was the ONLY soda sweetened with Splenda! NOW, the new Pepsi One has Splenda, and this new Diet Coke has Splenda! I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too love this new Diet Coke! Because Splenda is derived from sugar, is doesn't have as bad of that fake sweet taste as Aspartame.

Good job Coke and Pepsi!!!!!!

Yep! I've seen it at Walmart, Bashas and Safeway. I haven't looked anywhere else, but I'd assume it's everywhere now. The PepsiOne with Splenda is in a black can to make it different from regular PepsiOne, which I think they're phasing out. The Diet Coke with Splenda has a yellow tint to the cans and says really big Splenda.

I found this stuff in a quick trip about 3 weeks ago. Its not too bad. Splenda is much better than most other sugar substitutes.

I have never really drank that much pop. Water, Iced Tea and beers!

You have obviously never been to the south for any extended period of time. It is called 'Sweet Tea" and thats just about all they serve in the dirty south!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I tried it this weekend. It's awful.

I will stick to Diet Pepsi.

I'm in my 4th week of no soda. I drink iced tea, water, and powerade/gatorade. We get free drinks at work and it had just become too easy to drink 3-4 sodas in one day at work.

Carbonation is horrible for acid reflux and I am noticing a difference. Of course caffeine is bad for it too and my iced tea has plenty of that. Baby steps.

Do you take Prilosec OTC?

If not... I highly recommend it..... I swear by it now...Before taking it I could never eat pizza (pizzas like my crack.. my achille's heel) without experiencing the worst heartburn possible or (don't want to be too graphic here) keeping it down....

Since taking Prilosec on a daily basis, I can eat as much pizza as I desire and never experience any type of the problems I did before.... Heck... I actually believe in faith-healing in most cases, but this has been the wonder-drug for me....

Sorry for hijacking this thread...

No.. I havent tried Diet-Coke with Splenda before... the only coke I like now is Vanilla Coke....only drink that though whenever I'm at Subway......

I'm on Zantac 150. I tried Prevacid but I'm one of the small % that found it ineffective and it made me drowsy, Zantac doesn't.

I haven't tried Prilosec.

I can't stand any diet drink so I doubt I'll try this one either.

 

[Mulli]

I hate Splenda. I convinced my wife that it tastes like gasoline so we don't buy anything with it.


Diet Pepsi, Diet Dr. Pepper, and Diet Mountain Dew are my faves.

 

[thirty-two]

doesn't splenda give you the runs?

 

[CQ]

doesn't splenda give you the runs?

Not that I know of, and I've been using Splenda for quite awhile now!

 

[100%CardsFan]

doesn't splenda give you the runs?

Yup. Damn splenda ruined my life.

 

[bratwurst]

doesn't splenda give you the runs?

I think that was olean (olestra). But I think that, for instance ate it in the wow potato chips, you had to eat the equivalent of drinking a gallon of the oil. If you drank a gallon of any cooking oil, I'm sure you'd get the runs.

Hmmm, maybe you ought to take Prozak. Take enough of it and you won't even know you have a stomach.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Vanilla Coke is the best.... The only soda I would is Clear (Crystal) Pepsi... that was the worst ever imaginable....

I was officially diagnosed with Stomach Acid Reflux right after I turned 21, but had it for a few years before that......

Anyways.. my physician prescribed me Zantac and Prevacid and had me try all the usual antacids, however, all of those failed... It wasnt up until I discovered Prilosec OTC recently that I knew I was assured of constant relief from the usual agony of heartburn and I dont have to sacrifice anything whatsoever in the process....Especially pizza since that would be like anyone trying to overcome their addiction... If I quit eating pizza cold-turkey..I would have the worst withdrawal possible!
