By mistake I discovered Diet Pepsi tastes better then the real thing. I'm not opposed to regular soda. I legitimately like Diet Pepsi and it's my go too.

I've found I prefer the taste of Coke Zero as well compared to Regular Coke. Guess my taste buds have a thing for artificial sweeteners.

I've honestly got so used to the zero sugar shit that I also prefer it to the regular option now. Especially with Mt. Dew and all its different variants.

Yeah, I think its a rejection of the taste of Corn Sugar Generally. I love classic coke made with regular simple syrup like you can find in Europe or South America. But its absolutely detestable to me in the North American Varient. Same pretty much goes for every other corn sugar based soda.

I've discovered this applies to literally every regular soda in North America too. I like Diet Dr. Pepper. I like Diet Mountain Dew, Love me my Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke is okay too. All the "regular" variants of the same brands just taste awful to me. The only common through line is the corn sugar because different brands do use different artificial sweeteners for their "diet" variants.
 
Every since they stopped producing Green Apple Brisk there's been a piece of my life missing. Are there any decent green apple sodas or iced teas on the market that I can easily find?

Jones green apple is really good. They use cane sugar instead of HFCS as well.
 
I refuse to consume any cold liquids that contain calories and all the sodas I drink /drank have always been sugar free. I love that there is so much variety nowadays for "diet" and "zero" kinds as it used to be only diet coke/Pepsi or sparkling water.

I love diet Dr Pepper, Sprite Zero, diet cherry cokes and especially Chupa Chups Strawberry Zero sugar. They are from the same company as the famous Chupa Chups lollipops and their drinks are pretty popular in my city.

I've not had soda in over a decade. I'd rather not enjoy complex, single-source foods with secret recipes that can be discontinued. Plain coffee is better. Also, I rarely get tooth cavities since I don't keep sugar coated on the inside of my mouth.
 
I gave the zero-sugar version of Starry a try and it’s not too bad, it can serve as a back-up option if my local supermarkets run out of Sprite Zero Sugar.

Mountan Dew released a green apple-infused Dew called Thrashed Apple a couple of years ago and I still find it on the shelves of Kroger-owned supermarkets If sour green apple is what you’re looking for there‘s are Warheads-licensed sodas and energy drinks that use their sour green apple flavor as a base.
 
I have begun to only drink diet/zero sugar drinks rather than full flavor. Mainly because they put high fructose corn syrup in everything, but also because they put too much sugar in everything which really is bad for you. People can say what they want about how aspartame and other fake sugars are scary, but it really isn't as bad for you as high fructose corn syrup and other bleached sugars they might put in soda. Because those sugars spike insulin, while most fake sugars like aspartame do not. But be warned some fake sugars like Sucralose may spike insulin so you have to watch out.

As for sodas diet Dr. Pepper and Pepsi Zero sugar are my favorite.
 
I found a bottle of Zero Sugar Mountain Dew Pitch Black, now I have to find out if it's only in 20 oz. bottles or if it's available in a 12-pack, knowing PepsiCo it's probably a store-exclusive.

I moved off of full-sugar sodas a while back and I noticed that I didn't feel as bloated as I used to about six months in. My usual go-tos for diet sodas are Diet Pepsi and Sunkist Zero Sugar.
 
That “Starry” rebrand of Sierra Mist looks very unappealing to me. I prefer Coke Zero but honestly I now buy cases of “Ghost” energy drink for my hikes and workouts.
 
Starry sounds like a name of a mid-2000s Nintendo character, not a soda name, let alone a goddamn Sierra Mist rebrand. I'm betting this will end up like New Coke during 1985.
 
I bought an RC cola by accident; this shit is horrible.
Starry is fucking gender fluid and I will not have sex with it.
 
The only reason Starry exists is because Pepsi made a big deal about Sierra Mist being made with real cane sugar a few years back. What's the first ingredient in Starry? High fructose corn syrup.
