New Soda Alert!

[Master]

I drink a shit-ton of Diet Dew from day to day, and I like the new Splenda version better.

There are multiple soda blogs now? Jeez.

I saw some Coke Blak at one of the local 7-11's, however, at a $1.80 per 10 oz glass bottle, I'll remain blissfully ignorant.

Cherry Coke in the new ultra 80's pink bottle it is.

Drinking some Coke Zero right now. It really does taste just like Coke, w/o the syrupy sweetness. Better than Diet for sure.

Are you in the US? It's tough as hell to get anything in a glass bottle anymore, but it definitely tastes better when you can find it.

I think Coke Blak only comes in glass bottles. At least that's the only way I've seen it packaged.

Yeah I heard Pom is great. sadly its loades with sugar! Pomgranates is nothing but sugar fruit balls. I so cannot drink it. But I hear nothing but great things about it.

Pom is awesome but it is like 7,000 dollars a bottle (ok, it is 3.99 but that is still too much to pay for one drink).

I run one of those "pathetic" sites (http://afterglide.blogspot.com). There's no arguing that Pepsi changed Diet Dew to appeal to a wider audience, but people like me who like the old stuff just want Pepsi to give us the option. Not unlike Diet Coke vs Coke Zero. I know it's weird, but Diet Dew is about the only soda I've ever cared for (other than an occasional regular Coke). I actually plan to give up caffeine entirely once my stock of the old stuff is gone. Eh...probably better for me anyway. But I thought why not give it a shot.

NEW SODA ALERT!

Apparently the people at Mountain Dew realized their diet version tasted like watered-down piss. They now present a "Tuned up taste!". I really don't know what to make of it but I found these two websites interestingly pathetic:

Soda is serious business.

Yep, I live in Maryland. And Coke in glass bottles isn't very difficult to find. Hell, I can pick up a 24-case from Sam's Club for about $20. It just ends up being about half the amount of soda for more money than a 20-case of 20-oz plastic bottles for $15.

...but it definitely tastes better when you can find it.

I concur.
