Diet Coke- Now with Splenda!

Posted: 5/12/05 at 2:51pm

So what do you think of the New Diet Coke with Splenda? The bottles have a more colorful design with blue & yellow "swooshes".

Personally, as a Diet Coke Addict, I like Diet Coke Classic with Aspertame. This new stuff is actually too sweet for me. But my non-diet drinking friends who have tried it seem to like it. It doesn't taste "Diet" that's for sure!

I'll have to try it. I'm a Diet-Rite fan, but I use Splenda in place of sugar in everything......so I might like it.

I actually like the taste of diet. But the point is moot, since I'm boycotting Coke anyway.

Plum, why are you boycotting Coke?

I prefer the regular -- the splenda just doesn't taste right to me.

Labor leaders at Coke's Colombian bottling plants have been murdered, and hundreds of other workers kidnapped and tortured by paramilitary groups often working in conjunction with plant management. Coke is complicit because they know it's happening and they aren't doing **** about it.

I haven't tried it, but I will. I use Splenda in my tea.

hmmm - there's an idea - Plum Coke

Posted: 5/12/05 at 4:05pm

What all are you boycotting Plum? I used to boycott all kinds of stuff, but now I'm old and apathetic...although I still can't stand to eat Dominos Pizza, but that is as much about taste as politics.

I like it.

"Splenda" sounds like a drag name.

and now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the vocal stylings of Splenda Bidet!

Oh I loves me some Splenda Bidet! I saw her in the Omaha Coliseum production of Dreamgirls starring Splenda Bidet, Patti O'Door and Amanda Bendovernlove!

Disgusting... blech.

I'm the freak who drinks like, four Diet Cokes a day, and gah it's just nasty.

Now, Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, that is a drink.

Four Diet Cokes a day? I wish I had your will power! On a bad day I can kill 4 before lunch!

Hmm I'll have to try this - I use Splenda in my tea. And I'm another huge fan of the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper - had one at dinner!

Splenda is sugar that has been chemically modified with bleach. That's right, bleach. I rather watch my sugar intake than use it. Plus, like I said, it does make me quite ill.

[shira467]

Posted: 5/12/05 at 7:23pm

Yeah, but the bleach is very good, let me tell you!

But I'll take my aspartame any day for Diet Coke.

Does it at least make your teeth white, I wonder...

[shira467]

Posted: 5/12/05 at 7:37pm

Nope. Take my word on that one, it's probably rotting my teeth as we speak.
