Diet Coke w/ Splenda

[jobowoo]

I just saw a Diet Coke commercial saying that they're now selling Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda. Has anyone tried this? How does the taste compare to regular Diet Coke and Coke? I'm excited to get my hands on this stuff

I have tried Pepsi with Splenda, pretty neat...I like it! Pete

I actually really like the taste and think it is better then just plain Diet coke!

However, as I have such a slow metabolic rate, I have been avoiding splenda and caffeine in general, as I think it slows me down quite a bit.

I tried it and thought it was wayyyy to sweet but thats just my 2 cents. :wave

I'll try it when they come out with a caffeine free version. I loved DC back in the old days and used to drink at least 6-8 cans a day. Now I have maybe 1 or 2 diet rite's in a week. I still can't believe how water has become beverage of choice. So strange

I took a couple of sips of Splenda Diet Coke over Memorial Day weekend. It was flat in comparison to how I remember regular Coke to be. It had a funny aftertaste and it was way too sweet.

Well Mary, you know what helps speed it up, High intensity exercise! :joy

As for the diet coke, I agree with not2late, it tasted flat to me too.

I like the new diet coke.. I think it taste better than the old dc, but not as goos as regular coke. I have also tried the pepsi with splenda. It is okay, but not as good to me. I wish they would make a diet dr pepper with splenda..

:joy Being in the stuff-that-goes-in-soda-cans industry... you will find that all sodas will very shortly change over to Splenda as soon as their contracts with Nutrasweet are done. The word is out that Nutrasweet is no good. It has a worse rep than saccharin had way back when.
