people chose to switch rather than acquire a taste for the new version of diet Pepsi

Used to drink Diet Pepsi years back but Coke Zero (Cherry) is a superior product so I switched and I doubt I’ll go back.

Haven’t had a canned drink since sometime in the 1980’s. They all taste like malted battery acid.

We have been going out of our way to make sure that no product with non-nutritive sweeteners are allowed into this house. Some companies are now sneaking it into non-diet products and those are no longer purchased here either. Ive gotten to the point that I read every label on any processed food. I dont care how small the amount supposedly is, if I find it then its banned.

How about they change back to real sugar?

“Give me a Pepsi Free.”

“If you want a Pepsi, pal, you’re gonna pay for it!”

Pepsi tastes like New Coke that was left out in the sun.

All thanks to the federal government’s asinine sugar subsidy. If they’d get rid of it, soda would be made with pure sugar cane. My store sells the Coca-Cola made and bottled in Mexico, and it is far superior than the high fructose corn syrup crap.

Aspartame gave me the worst headaches you could ever imagine. It felt like my head was going to explode. I’ll take sugar or stevia.

I’d rather just stick with Pepsi Throwback, made with real cane sugar. A can or two a week isn’t going to harm most people.

Geez, people! Drink real sugar of you want sweet. Your body knows what it is. It’s known about sugar since the beginning of time. This artificial crap, not so much.

No offense Pepsi fans, but you can’t beat the real thing - sugar.

I've been avoiding Pepsi for years because of some crappy website design that wanted me to lower my privacy and antivirus sw to get it to function. I was mad because I bought Pepsi over whatever for that purchase based on their contest. Yes, a momentary lapse of judgement left me feeling used and abused by them.

Then an eschewing of soft drinks in general out of personal culinary preferences.

Oh, and do not forget Pepsi's anti-American president/CEO giving her speech at Columbia (iirc).

Pepsi may have done itself harm with a Superbowl ad that had a black chick throwing a can at white blonde chick. Diet Pepsi's main demo is black women, but the ad didn't do them any good, implying black men want white blondes, jealous black woman assaulting white woman, etc. Take your choice of what subliminal message Pepsi was really sending.

Screw aspartame — bring back cyclamates!

I use Stevia in my coffee and tea. It is made from the leaf of the Stevia plant. In fact I have to use half a packet, because it is so sweet.

From what I understand it is natural. I would love to see Dr Pepper or A&W Root Beer use it in their diet drinks, but alas I think they are stuck on the chemicals.

Whether there was Aspertame, or Splenda in the Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi I drink, I still can’t find it on Walmart’s shelves here. They’re always out of it, and I have to get it at another grocery store.

Pepsi sucks anyway. No offence to you, “Pepsionice”.

They could make Pepsi into beer and I would not drink it.

Pepsi is nasty.

These sweeteners end up back in the water cycle as they simply pass through. All water has it to some degree.
