We always were big Coke drinkers until a few years ago when we cut back for health reasons, and now we drink mostly home brewed iced tea.
Even so, I usually kept some diet decaf Coke on hand until a couple of weeks ago. Now I have diet decaf Pepsi and it is pretty good.
I have to agree on Sprite though. Seven Up is not nearly as good. I need to try Sierra Mist, which is popular in this area.
Had it at a Burger King in the Philippines and at a Taco Bell in Boulder, CO. Tasted like bad water in both cases. No taste. Never ask for Sprite as that’s what you get there.
