Diet soda, I cannot understand why people like it?

Question

And diet soda in general? Agh it tastes so nasty! If anything its WORSE than regular soda health wise (gas in a can, no calories to burn from it), but being I like regular soda, I'd rather drink regular Coke or Pepsi.

Please help me understand people's like and over-rating of Diet Coke and all diet sodas please, they all taste so horrible. Is it the actual taste and they just like it better or do they really think its "diet" soda? = (

Answer 1

It's better 4 you

Answer 2

I drink gallons of Fresca daily.  It is great and I love it!!!  Have you tried it?  

If you don't like it, or any other diet sodas, then it must be the artificial sweetener that is disturbing your taste buds in such an objectionable manner.

All I can say is, to each her own.  I don't like the taste of the regular sodas because I can taste the sugar, and the very thought of ingesting that much sugar gives me a splitting headache.  I don't eat sugar anymore, to the extent I can avoid it.

Answer 3

i think that people drink diet soda because they like soda but they think that diet is better for them which is so not true

Answer 4

It's supposedly "healthier."  What a crock!  since when can soda be healthy??

Answer 5

I honestly don't like the really syrupy taste of regular sodas, so I do prefer diet sodas.....diet coke is one of my favorites.  I love the taste of it.  I haven't got myself fooled into thinking I am going to lose weight by drinking them though. :)

Answer 6

they are not drinking it from the tastes it is for the low calories

Answer 7

I'm not a diet soda fan either...if I'm gonna drink a soda, I drink a regular soda.  Diet soda usually tastes funny because of the artificial sweetner they put in.  My husband drinks it though because it's lower in sugar and he tries to watch his sugar, but he's not really a big fan of the taste...

Answer 8

This might sound silly, but I definately think it tastes the same as regular soda.  I never cared much for either regular or diet soda.  I think both are bad for you regardless of what people say.  Drink juice, tea and water!

Answer 9

I hate diet soda, the reason being is it actually taste sweeter to me than regular soda

Answer 10

Well I used to drink Diet soda because regular soda makes me sick because so much sugar.But now i drink coke zero! its much better.

Answer 11

I actually get headaches from artificial sweetener's so I can't drink or eat anything with artificial sweetener's.  I have heard that all these artificial sweetener's are really bad for our bodies (like poison).

Even if I wasn't allergic to artificial sweetener's I still wouldn't drink them because I agree with you, they taste AWFUL.  Thank you.
