    Recommend a diet soda that doesn't taste like diet?

    Coke Zero is my favourite, but I'd like to branch out into others. Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale was great until they changed the recipe, now it tastes like a diet soda. Giving Diet Mountain Dew a try now...tastes like diet.

      Diet Mountain Dew is amazing.

      The two I like best are Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet A&W Root Beer.

      I'm partial to the Hansen's brand for diet ginger ale, and their cherry vanilla creme is pretty dang good too. A&W diet root beer is my favorite, but I'll drink them all. Diet Cherry 7Up is a disturbingly large part of my liquid consumption.

      Coke Zero is the only form of cola that doesn't taste diet to me. The "10" line from Dr. Pepper is good, but if you're drinking a buttload of it the calories can add up.

      I haven't found anything that tastes 100% like "the real thing" and I mostly gave up on sodas, including diet ones, but I find that most kinds of root beer and orange sodas are the closest in my opinion. Or "light" lemonade if I want a sweet drink but not necessarily soda. My real favorite is the sparkling water that has just an essence of fruit (but no sweetness).

      Couldn't tell ya. It's been over 40 years since I've had a "real" soda!

      Diet Cherry Dr Pepper and regular Diet Dr Pepper! Diet Mt Dew as wells

      I hate anything coke zero, it tastes flat to me, just like diet pepsi does.

      Another vote for Diet Dr. Pepper.

      Diet Cranberry Sierra Mist is also awesome, but it's seasonal.

      I with they'd bring back Diet Pepsi with Lime.

      I, too, have been on the diet bandwagon so long, the sugar sodas taste weird. So I can't help you. I'm a diet Pepsi fan.

      Ummm...all soda is bad for you, but diet is the worst. All the artificial crap in there is going to give you cancer. Why not try infused homemade water or something that has some benefits?

      Dr Pepper zero. Or I love the innocent bubbles drinks :)

      Do they still make Fresca? I think there used to be a Peach Fresca.

      No, diet soda is not going to give you cancer.

      I drink lots of h2o, but really enjoy fruit infused water the best! Don't like the back taste to diet sodas, but I do will drink Diet Dr Pepper on occasion.

      Diet Dr. Pepper

      I remember Fresca being pretty good but I haven't had it in years. I like Diet Coke now but it's definitely got the artificial taste.

      I have cut myself down to 1 Shasta Cola (Coke is my favorite) a day. I am sure that is going to have to go soon. Never liked diet sodas. I remember Fresca and it was pretty good and anyone old enough to remember TAB??? It was made by CocaCola. Diet Coke replaced it. 0e08641945jp.jpg

      Remember Fresca? I still buy that in Walmart for $1 and drink the whole thing in two days after a hard workout (unless it's a different one). I second coke zero but I am biased to the clear. I like diet sodas I can see through. Maybe I imagine myself drinking water, eventually :)

      I'm good with water but not so much in the winter. Once I master my "coke addiction" the next thing I will tackle is my addiction to microwave popcorn. I need to get a popcorn popper like I had years ago. I'm drinking unsweetened ice tea now. :)

      My popcorn addiction has changed. Now I get sweet and salty popcorn in a big bag, measure it on my food scale, and have it with my diet soda :)

      Diet 7up, coke zero and fresca! I haven't tried diet cherry/vanilla coke yet.
      Oh, and diet Dr Pepper!
