Why?

My in laws are on it, my favorite journalist is on it, and my aunt and uncle are addicts as well.

I know it's not better than sex so help me understand.

Coke Zero is better

I agree. Diet Coke is repulsive

Diet Dr. Pepper is the best Diet soda.

I strongly disagree. While the initial switch to Diet Coke was rough for a month or so (did so to dodge the extra thousand calories I was previously consuming each day in Coke), all other versions of Coke now taste way too syrupy and gross. They also cover the taste of food ... and not in a good way. Whenever I drink a regular Coke or Coke Zero now (e.g., a tailgate or someone's house where there are limited options), I have to drink lots of water afterward to get the syrupy taste out of my mouth.

John Daly said a bottle of vodka and a sip of diet coke will kill anything.

I'm going Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper... but still in the family.

A&W makes a diet root beer that tastes just like the real one IMO, if you like root beer.

Yep, my wife's favorite! I use to go to A&W root beer drive in back in the late 50's and early 60's. It was located near the Atlanta Airport off Virginia Ave.
Root Beer float was sooo good!

This is the correct answer.

You cant beat a fountain coke classic...especially if you went hard the night before.

Cant get into diet sodas, at that point I'd rather have a LaCroix or Pellegrino to get my carbonated fix.

Sorry, all of y'all are wrong....Diet Mountain Dew is the best!
Dean, you can go ahead and shut this thread down.

Shew, that bite or aftertaste in DC is what I think is so gross - might as well be drinking Tab.

However, I stopped drinking sodas a few years ago for the most part - and don't crave or miss it. If I have them, it's usually Ginger Ale, root beer, ginger beer, or the Green Coke...prefer 7Up to Sprite....but I will take watee, tea, coffe over "Coke" pretty much anytime....too much sugar (and yes, that 0 calorie sweetener is still bad for humans). I do like the flavored Pellegrino (great pool beverage).

I prefer indulging on certain food rather than soda, but that is just me. I can't remember the last time I bought a 12 pack...been a looong time.

I'm with you, BD1. I gave it up about 10 years ago and don't miss it. That one decision may be what has kept some pounds off.
And you're right. People don't realize that sweetener is as bad for you as too much sugar for some.

1. Diet Coke
2. Diet Sunkist
3. Diet Dr. Pepper
4. Diet Mtn. Dew
5. Fresca
6. Tab
7. Coke Zero

If Pepsi is on your list in any way I question you and your life's work.

GoodDawg4733
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Fresca should be higher IMO.

For the record.

I drink two Diet Cokes a day.

I've never smoked. I've never done drugs.

I'm OK on the vice side of life, so I take the "don't drink diet drinks" with a grain of salt.

I have been removed from the area for a few years, but the Whataburgers in Concord would mix Cheerwine with Cherry Lemon Sundrop...pretty sure it was the best cure for hangovers and could also eat the stitching out of levi's

Parts of North Carolina had a Seacruise you could order back in the day. It was regular Sundrop ("nectar of the gods" a friend would say), and Cheerwine. I do like both of those better than most.

I play golf with a man in Florida that drinks Old Forester and Sundrop. It's his favorite after playing 18 holes. I have no idea how he drinks the stuff.

It was my favorite, growing up. In those days, A&W labelled it a "Black Cow".

Diet ginger ale is hard to beat in taste. MD, DP, Coke Zero are all good. That Coke Life is pretty good as well. Saw recently it's one of the better options health wise of the bunch...not sure if that's saying much.
