If you want sugar, go buy some packaged meat at the store. The whole country
is on insulin pablum.

you can get coke in glass bottles around here in any decent latino or
south american owned bodega, of which there are many in nyc. They
ship many products from south of the border for benefit of their
customers from that region.

Diet sodas today are a lot different than they were back in the day
when there were only three diet colas, tab, diet pepsi and diet rite.
IMO were all pretty terrible back in the pre-nutrasweet days. Tab or
Diet Pepsi back in the old days before they figured out how to sweeten
them better, and when they only had saccharin to use, were pretty bad
to drink, as they had a definite aftertaste. You really had to get
used to drinking them. Then Diet Coke came along in the early
eighties, and had Nutrasweet in it, and it changed everything and soon
the others followed suit. Diet sodas became much sweeter and then
later all the diet sodas were re-formulated due to various advances,
such that many people not on diets or having high sugar levels, drank
diet soda anyway, because they preferred it. Now they are phasing out
nutrasweet in favor of splenda, and thats even more of an improvement.
They still haven't made a diet soda that tastes exactly like a regular
soda, but they are becoming much closer.

The best (or least nasty) tasting diet pop I can recall was Diet Orange
Crush but I haven't seen any in ten years or more.

I like Diet Mt.Dew as a breakfast drink. It goes great with turkey
sandwiches.

Squirt isn't just grapefruit flavored. That's Fresca. Squirt is more
of a citrus blend.

resp:102 - just lemon and lime. I double-checked the squirt label. It
*is* mainly grapefruit. I wonder why Squirt (in my case Diet Squirt)
and Fresca taste so damned different?

Squirt has more carbonation from what I can tell..and possibly more sugar.

Isn't Fresca a diet soda?

Yes, but even diet squirt tastes sweeter. I think it may be the extra
flavors that squirt adds that makes it taste different.

re #107, yes Fresca is a diet soda, and they have just re-formulated it
to change sweeteners to Splenda, and added new flavors (black cherry
fresca and tangerine fresca among them)
