At the grocery store this weekend (Publix rocks!) - there was a deal that you could get a free bottle of Coke Zero and Diet Coke with Splenda with the purchase of 2 regular bottles. I'd heard from a friend that the Diet Coke with Splenda tasted just like regular Coke - so we got a bottle of each to test. Excited by the possibility of having a better-for-you drink of coke - as soon as we got home we poured a glass of each to try it out.
:crazy: Yeah - the Diet Coke with Splenda kinda tastes like regular Coke. And the Coke Zero kinda tastes like regular Coke. But there's no -- buzz - none of the "bite". You know what I'm talking about? It was like ... flavored water basically. Blech.
Thus ended the taste test. (The two free bottles have been deposited in the break room at the office. Because I can't just throw stuff away. Maybe some people LIKE flavored water ... :sick:)
I can't stand diet drinks either...I much prefer Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper. :thumbsup:
