mtn dew has tons of caffeine in Canada now. 86 mg per 591ml according to my diettn dew bottle I'm drinking atm so it is more caffeine than dark soda (coke zero is 34 mg per 355 ml)grmckenzie wrote: »PaulaWallaDingDong wrote: »Alatariel75 wrote: »Christine_72 wrote: »I'm not even sure that they still sell mountain dew here anymore.

I dont know a single soul who actually liked it.
You can still get it, but it's a totally different product to the US one, the Australian one doesn't even have caffeine in it.
Same thing with Sprite. Same bottle, same name, tastes completely different between the 2 countries.
NOOOOOOOOOO!
Canada actually had, until fairly recently, a friggen law that said "it is illegal for clear or non-dark sodas to contain caffeine”. Changed in 2010. Not sure if they added it in Canada or not.
More caffeine than cola, the way it should be. The way mother nature intended.4 -

I think Australia has a similar law, the only caffeinated soft drinks are coke, pepsi, their 0 cal versions and energy drinks.0 -

Diet soda contributes to obesity - even the soda companies know it, which is why two of the biggies spent well over a billion US $$ this week to buy natural soda startups (both founded in 2009). I was a Diet Coke addict for 30+ years, 3-6 cans a day. It was my primary source of "water". Went cold turkey on 1 Jan 2015 and never looked back. And yes, I'm down 75#. Thanks, VSG (June 2015), and thanks, WATER. Real water. Not soda. Never soda, ever again. Unfortunately, I've just been diagnosed with osteopenia... probably due in large part to all that soda I drank.
Also lost 162lbs in 6 months drinking Coke Zero
I lost weight because I started taking in less calories than my body was utilizing. Nothing more nothing less.6 -

Most people preach everything in moderation and sugar is fine and not evil etc etc, but then choose diet drinks. Why not drink regular soda "in moderation". Is it because some people cant moderate their soda consumption?
I'm assuming the answer is calories in drinks are a waste of said calories.
Diet soda is the lesser of two evils due to 0 calories.
You can drink as much as you want and not have to worry about calories.
It just seems "everything in moderation" and "sugar is fine" is a direct contradiction when they turn around and drink diet drinks.
Because I'd RATHER have a cookie than a full-sugar soda. And after drinking diet soda for 20 years I'm used to the flavor.4 -
I must have rubbish taste buds as I can't tell the difference between diet Pepsi or diet coke!0

I really wish companies would make more diet sodas out of their different flavors.Gallowmere1984 wrote: »Carlos_421 wrote: »

Umm...soda is quite hydrating seeing as how it's something like 99% water.Carlos_421 wrote: »

This is the only acceptable answer seeing as Diet Mountain Dew is the actual worst
Part of me wishes they'd actually TRY to make Diet Mountain Dew flavors that aren't terrible. The other part of me realizes that Diet Baja Blast and Diet Code Red would be completely terrible.
Sprite has a cranberry soda I'd want to try but at this point, regular soda tastes too sweet.
Diet Dew is okay, just inferior to diet 7UP1 -
When I drank diet (don't any longer since I don't care for aspartame), I drank Diet Coke - caffeine free diet coke was a good one! When I drink regular, I prefer Pepsi over Coke - but regular Dr Pepper over both, lol
I don't normally drink much soda (POP in Ohio
) anymore; I prefer water or unsweetened iced tea. 0 -

Sprite Zero Cranberry is a thing. My local Walmart had it for a week, and I bought literally all of it. That was a montha and a half ago, and they never restocked it. 2 -
