I like Cherry Coke, but owing to the sugary content of it I thought I'd have a go at it's diet version.

My god, that is the nastiest drink I've ever tasted.

Does anyone actually like it?

Does anyone actually like any diet drinks? They're all completely nasty.

I agree with you OP. Cherry coke is my favourite fizzy drink but as I am dieting I tried the diet version. It is awful and nothing like Cherry coke at all! So disappointing!!

I like it - we only drink diet coke etc in our house - both me and my wife dont like the bitter aftertaste that "normal" coke has.

It's worth avoiding purely for the aspartame.

I don't drink fizzy drinks, no health benefits whatsoever, full of sugar or sweeting crap, makes me feel bloated. All fizzy drinks are generally a nasty flavour as well, normally a syrup acidic taste.

I love the stuff. When studying for my exams, I used to drink 2 litres a day. Luckily I've grown up and the 2 litre bottle now lasts me a week.

I hate most diet beverages, although some of the Zero brands are not too bad. I really miss Vanilla Coke though.

I don't like diet cherry coke either, it tastes like cough syrup to me.

Diet coke with vanilla was lovely though, shame they discontinued it. I make my own sometimes by mixing diet coke with diet cream soda, it almost tastes the same

I like it.

I've only really drunk diet soft drinks for years. On the rare occasions that I do drink "normal" Coke or suchlike, it always tastes too sugary and syrupy.

I don't think it's a hoax. I've read into the effects of aspartame and I'd rather not take the chance.

(BTW can't use link, work PC)

No, i haven't. If you want to believe it's a hoax and continue consuming it, that's fine. Personally an artificial sweetner which may be damaging to my health does not mean enough to me that i would even consider consuming it.

It's about evidence not belief. There is no compelling evidence to support your stance.

Im on a work PC and i have no desire to find the evidence on the net. It's there, if you choose to look yourself. There is even aspartame victim support groups. Also do a little research about how it was accepted by the FSA in the first place, and the continuing investigation which is looking into potential bribery/corruption.

It's also worth noting it has no health benefits, so really why would i put it into my body?

There's alien abductee support groups also, if you choose to look. Again, there is no evidence to support these people's claims either.

As i said before there is evidence, but you would rather make silly comparisons than do a little research. I feel no need to convince you, so drink up

I don't have occasion to ingest aspartame very often, I just dislike myths being thrown around as fact by people ignorant of actual scientific evidence. Anecdotal "evidence" is not enough.

I agree with the OP, I love Coke, Diet Coke and Cherry Coke but the diet version is HORRID. Even worse is Diet Dr Pepper, it doesnt taste right at all.
