    I can absolutely taste aspartame (Which just so happens to be in just about EVERYTHING marketed as Zero Sugar/Diet)

    It’s disgusting to me, leaves a nasty chemically metal taste I can pick up on instantly. And yes, others have tried giving it to me blind i.e. Somebody getting me a drink I expect to be regular mt dew or something and they give me the “Zero sugar”/diet version and I can tell immediately.

    Soda is soda, it’s bad for you regardless of if it’s “Zero sugar”/diet so if you’re going to drink it you might as well just drink the real stuff (Unless you can’t for health reasons like diabetes)

    I was so excited for the Hard Mt Dew, but then they ruined it by only having the ENTIRE line as “Zero sugar” ugh.
