There are diet soda that are better than their normal versions. Not fruit flavors though. A diet coke or pepsi is fine but a diet orange soda might as well be piss in a bottle l

Baja Blast and Grape Crush are still good whenever I feel like a carbonated beverage.

Which is becoming rarer these days, probably for the better health wise at least.

To me it's always tasted like the bastard Scottish child of Orange Crush and Cream Soda without any of the (lacking) charm of either drink.

I only drink diet when I do drink sodas, and diet pepsi is the superior to diet coke.

Your taste in soda is like your taste in anime. Flat and flavourless.

yeah

this is a weird sentiment but both coke and diet coke have a thicker mouthfeel that lingers while pepsi and diet pepsi tend to be a little more crisp and not stick around

yeah I just keep a water bottle with me all day. I will have sodas randomly but I cut out a bunch of other stuff

oh and for the people who absolutely have to have flavored water you can infuse it over night or buy those water flavors they sell in the lemonade / tea isle in grocery stores. mix it up ahead of time, in a pitcher, and pour it in before you head out for the day

La Croix is some sort of strange anti-flavor, that I presume is trying to rely on some sort of homeopathy to get intense flavor out of a handful of flavoring molecules that were dropped into the vat and later extracted for reuse.

I largely cut sodas out of my diet a long, long time ago, but I still miss Mountain Dew, 7-Up the Way It Used To Be, and A&W from before "Frosty Mug" flavor was introduced in ~'93, presumably a switch to HFCS. I also liked Pepsi Throwback when it came around, which was surprising since I always preferred Coke to Pepsi.

My mom got me this horribly wasteful water bottle flavor thing called a Cirkul as part of her passive aggressive support for my ongoing diet and about 50 flavor inseet things so I'm drinking those for the foreseeable future.

A&W is such a scam, they had a class action lawsuit about vanilla flavoring where, when they even bothered to vanilla flavor a batch, they used artificial vanilla and not aged vanilla like it said on the can. I got like ten bucks coming to me from that, would have been more but I don't have receipts.

Unfortunately they produce the only zero sugar root beer that doesn't taste like piss so I'm stuck buying them but I'm not happy about it. drat diabetes.

The johnny gat replacement in that game really is the best way to compare how godawful the character writing was compared to the original series.

I can't cut soda out completely so i still do diet and Diet Pepsi is still better than Diet Coke/Coke Zero except for the weird Coke flavors which I really like

Freestyle machines rock though they sometimes get me to try weird things like Diet Pibb which I think of trying as it's not in Canada bottled only to find out why its not here bottled

I'm just playing Saints Row until I get sick of it and I can see a reality where if they just toned down on the #Millennial nonsense and maybe leaned a bit more into the goofy satire like with the PMC, it could have worked better

Like, my opinion is less "this is a god awful mess" and more "this is kind of terminally uninteresting"

Pattinson is good for the dub. The audience I was with was weird though, like they were laughing like hyenas when Mahito's dad was talking about hunting down whoever hurt his son and getting vengeance.
