Craving "regular" soda - is it just me?

So I should preface this by saying that I ALWAYS drink diet soda when not pregnant.  Haven't had a regular soda for years.  Years.  Did not have this issue with my son.  So anyway, one day I drank a regular Coke b/c the sugar/caffeine combo helped my bad headache.  Now I want one every day! 
Am I alone or does anyone else have this?

    I am definitely craving soda and would drink it all day if I would let myself do it more than once a day.

    I went through a phase where I craved regular Coke. I bought some of those little 8 oz cans and drank one every afternoon after lunch. I loved that little caffeine/sugar hit. I got over the urge for those now and really just want to go back to a big 20 oz Diet Coke every afternoon. 3 more months until I can fully indulge my love of caffeine.

    Up until just a couple weeks ago, carbonated beverages is all I would dream about! I don't think I've really had any other cravings but fizzy drinks!

    all I want, all the time, is Caffiene Free Not-Diet Coke... you can't just pick them up anywhere...

    I bought a 12 pack a couple of weeks ago, and went through it way too fast for my comfort level...

    but I think I have to buy another one today.

     

    ETA: and I'm a never-drink-soda type... it's water and iced tea for me most of the time!

    I am only drinking regular soft drinks now and I have at least 1 a day because like you, the caffeine helps with terrible headaches I have.  My doctor actually prescribed me something for headaches that contains caffeine but it seems the tylenol along with a caffeinated soft drink does the trick.

    Regular Coca Cola is the only thing that will settle my stomach these days. That one little glass in the morning does wonders for me!
