I love Coke.  Yum!!  But I've been gaining and thought maybe I could do without the 160 calories or whatever it is.....so decided to get a diet coke instead...ICK! 

How do you peeps drink this stuff?? 

I can't wait until they make soda out of stevia instead of this artificial stuff.  I have been off of artificial sweeteners for over 3 yrs now---but thought once in a while it won't hurt.

Try Coke Zero if you don't like the way the diet tastes.

Really??  What is the difference?

You get used to it.  Or drink water with a splash of juice.  Even the diet stuff isn't good for you when you are trying to lose weight.  Studies have shown that the fake sugar makes you crave more sweet foods.

The taste came with time!  I gave up regular soda when I went to college, with the help of my roommates, and now I don't understand how people can drink regular!

Hi, I will be over here in a few weeks, but I wanted to go ahead and respond.  I am a huge Coke fan and since my work used to offer it for free, I would probably drink four or five while at work.  Well, my work decided to "get healthy", so they are doing away with all regular soda and only buying diet and I HATE diet soda, so I completely gave up soda cold turkey.  I haven't had a soda in over two weeks.  I am really proud of myself. 

I'm trying to make it to a month without soda and then once I reach my goal, I will probably just have a white/clear soda when we go out to eat once a month. 

I am totally with you though, I don?t see how anyone can drink Diet Coke.

Sure...I get it.....like that candy I just ate to wash out the nasty taste of this diet coke.  LOL

Actually I have heard that it actually can truly mess with diabetes too, but that was some time ago.

I was a huge Coke drinker I hated diet coke, then after I had DD I couldn't stand the taste of Coke and am now a diet coke addict!

From what I know, it's the same ingredients list, just in different proportions. It creates a different flavor. I can definitely tell the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke. Coke Zero tastes more like regular coke.
