It's a gorgeous day here, currently 80 degrees and sunny, perfect for going to the pool.
I have a fever and a chest-rattly cough. Bugger. Good thing I had my doctor call in that antibiotic prescription, though. Feh. I hope I feel well enough to go to the baseball game tomorrow. No, scratch that -- I *am* going to the baseball game, come hell or high water -- one of my friends offered me 9th-row behind the dugout tickets, and you can DAMN bet I'm going, no matter how many games back the Reds are.
Also, Diet Coke with Splenda *does* taste like ass. Or, I don't know, maybe my taste buds got so used to Diet Coke with aspartame (22 years, give or take) that this just tastes wrong. Bleh.
I'm thinking the Diet Coke with splenda is for people that don't like normal Diet Coke, but still want a calorie-free soda. No idea whether it will actually catch on, since most people who want a calorie-free soda simply adapt to Diet Coke and then don't want anything else.
I don't hate Splenda!Diet Coke, but I seem to have become used to the aspartame in Good Old!Diet Coke.
I still like Diet IBC root beer best.
I don't like diet Coke, so I'm curious to try the Splenda version to see if it tastes more like regular Coke.
Saw Spamalot last night. It
rocked.
Also, timelies all.
DCwS tastes a lot like regular Coke, which disturbs my diet-loving tongue.
I haven't tried DCwS yet, and it sounds like maybe I don't need to.
I'ma try Coke Zero next. If I don't die from coughing.
I tried C2 and Coke with Lime this week. C2 actually tasted like regular Coke, for the most part, though it had that hint of emptiness that Diet Coke has. Coke with Lime tasted like Coke...with lime. It's interesting, not bad.
I have nothing to contribute, except that Coke Light (Diet Coke) here comes in solid silver plastics that looks sort of like metal. Not see-thru. Have they changed the packaging in the US also?
I assumed the Splenda thing was due to the Atkins diet, since they recommend Splenda over aspartame.
To me DCwS tastes infinitely better than regular Diet Coke--none of that awful bitterness of aspartame.
Maybe it's Diet Coke for supertasters.
