      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)

      More caffeine than cola, the way it should be. The way mother nature intended.

      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.

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

      I've been wanting to ask this for ages...

      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.

      I must have rubbish taste buds as I can't tell the difference between diet Pepsi or diet coke!

      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. :(
      I really wish companies would make more diet sodas out of their different flavors.

      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 7UP

      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 :p ) anymore; I prefer water or unsweetened iced tea.

      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. :(
