Not trying to defend the taste. I hate the taste of diet coke myself, but I don’t know what it is about that diet soda specifically. I have met many people in real life and through the internet that just fucking LOVE diet coke. Idk why, but they drink 3-5 cans a day. I am working with one now that had to stop drinking for health reasons and she was talking about how she missed the taste a couple weeks ago.
I’m not sure how much chemical tweaking they did on aspartame, but I suspect it ended up being overfitted to their test group because I can’t stand the taste of it. It just tastes a bit off to me, like there’s some undesirable chemical in there.
Stevia was disappointing for me because the ones granulated like white sugar also have that flavour. Maybe it’s from traces of whatever solvent was used to extract it from the plant.
People just love getting addicted to shit. We are all guilty of it. We equate the dopamine rush with actual enjoyment of things. I’m not sure I actually like anything, so much as it’s my brain tricking me.
This is a little tongue in cheek, but also a little not.

Diet Coke lovers are a dedicated breed.

I’d rather have water than any diet soda.
