Diet Coke Review

As you can see I am not a big Diet Coke fan, truth be told I am not a Diet Coke fan AT ALL!  I've tried to like it, I keep thinking my taste buds will change and every few months I'll drink one.  It just isn't in my constitution.

I've been an insulin dependent diabetic for 21 years, so it's important for me to find a diet drink that I like and believe me over 21 years I've tried them all.  This is the only one that I just don't like period.  It leaves a really bad aftertaste.  I've tried putting a slice of lemon and/or lime in it, advice to me per a waitress watching me make bad faces years ago.  The lemon does make it a little more tolerable. 

It just isn't sweet enough for my taste, it's actually bitter and has a very water-downed and flat flavor to me.  Unfortunately, this is a very popular soda in restaurants so I've learned to drink water or unsweetened tea sweetened with sweetener.

For those of you who love Diet Coke, I say more "more power to ya"!
