Back home in Ohio Coca-Cola had more bite to it. The Southern formula is sweeter and I do not like it. I was diagnosed with diabetes about six years ago. The diet versions use aspartame so I do not drink them. We used to have Coke with Splenda, but it was short lived.
Food Lion, our local grocery which is headquartered in our little town, uses Splenda (sucralose) in their diet drinks which taste very good and cost less than national brands. These are the only drinks I buy, except for caffeine-free Coke which I keep on hand for my brother's visits.
I usually end up ordering a Dr. Pepper in that case.But in a restaurant, I'd love to have the guts some day to order a Coke and when the server asks, "Is Pepsi OK?" I'd answer, "It most certainly is not!" and get up and storm out of the restaurant.
I must be one of the few people who liked the original Crystal Pepsi, before they fucked it up and made it a lousy 7Up knockoff.
I don't drink much soda anymore. When I do, it's basically root beer. Between Coke and Pepsi, I think I liked Pepsi better.
Diet soda is godawful and I won't drink it.
^I liked Crystal Pepsi, too.
Coke is it for me, though I prefer the Mexican Cokes with real sugar. More expensive, and I can usually only get them at Wegman's. I drink Coke Zero most of the time these days, it's the closest to real Coke.
Worst ever- Tab Clear. Ugh.
