  1. diet coke, coke is to thick and sugary  


  2. i prefer Diet Pepsi because it tastes better

  3. I can;t tell the difference!?

  4. It really comes down to a matter of taste and what you're used to.  They have too distinctive tastes.  They are approximately similar in taste (each brand of cola, for example Pepsi, has it's own distinctive formula and taste).  Some of the ingredient mixtures are different.  The first diet coke had saccharin in it and later aspartame was used.  The latest ingredient put into diet coke is Splenda.  Personally, I find that it has a very bitter after taste  (nasty, cleaning fluid probably tastes better) .

    After drinking diet coke since it was introduced I acquired a taste for it.  The last time I even tasted regular Coke it tasted very strange to me, I really didn't care for it.  It tasted too sweet.  I can instantly tell the difference between regular coke and diet coke (also, the differences between diet coke sweetened with saccharin vs aspartame vs Spenda).  When diet coke was sweetened with saccharin that was my favorite.  Saccharin fell out of favor when someone reported it caused tumors in lab mice.  They also discovered later that they were feeding the mice many times their body weight in saccharin (unfortunately they never went back to saccharin in their formula, the damage was already done.)

    One other reason for drinking diet coke is that it has no calories.  If you drink a massive amount of Coke everyday, you can add a tremendous amount of calories to your intake.

    If you look very closely at the advertisement for each product, they appeal and are targeted to a different audience.  I would not expect the teenagers and twenty somethings to be the target consumer of diet coke.  The target consumer for the 40+ is not the regular (non diet) Coke drinkers.  This breaks down even further based on whether it's de/caffeinated.

    Back to your question, I don't think one is any better than  the other, it's a matter of choice and preference.  It doesn't matter either way, every time I go to the store, the shelves are always well stocked.  In fact there are too many choices.
