![]() In the past, we’ve blind taste-tested colas, cherry colas, fruit sodas, and root beer, and despite there being a lot of variety out there it doesn’t quite match the insane amount of sugar-free sodas out there. Which got me thinking - what if I didn’t know I was drinking the sugar-free version of my favorite soda? Is there a diet soda out there that tastes good enough to fool me? I set out to find out by blind test-testing all the diet sodas I could in search of the most delicious (and the one that could best match its own full sugar version). People do like this stuff, that’s undeniable… even if I don’t get it. A few oddballs have even written articles about it, and clearly, the industry is healthy ( as in sales, not actually healthy) because diet soda is everywhere - from fast food fountains to convenience store shelves. Aspartame is now preferable to these weirdos over real sugar. ![]() But over the years, some people (a lot, in fact) have convinced themselves to like these flavors better. ![]() That’s sure to be a far more satisfying experience. You want half the calories of Coke? Drink half a coke. There are plenty of sugar-free non sweetened beverages out there that taste delicious, and yet people choose to drink something that tastes like a cheap substitute just so they can drink more of it? That’s odd, right? An example of half-assed maximalism. But diet sodas taste, well, how can I put this nicely? F*cking weird. Don’t get me wrong, wanting to avoid the high sugar and high-calorie content of regular soda in favor of something that’s healthier - I get that.
