Too many "Diet" choices.

Okay. So I'm sitting here, drinking a Coca-cola Zero and wondering: why? Why did they need to create another 'no-calorie' Coke product, when they already have Diet Coke? I've heard (but not seen) that they will also produce a Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda, in addition to regular Diet coke sweetened with aspartame. And the Zero one is sweetened with a blend of the two. This irritates me almost as much as PepsiOne; I mean, if you can have no-calorie soda, why just have one stupid calorie? Blah.

This is stupid.

Does anybody actually prefer the 'diety' taste of regular diet sodas over ones that are trying to taste more like the actual thing? I've been drinking diet soda for many years now, and I must say, I don't like the nasty aftertaste from the aspartame, and given the chance, I would rather have one that tastes more like regular coke. So is there really a need to have *3* levels of diet soda?

Or is this just their way of avoiding another 'new formula' incident? :eyebrow:

Well generally, I would rather not waste 240 calories on something that I drink in a short amount of time. I'd rather savor my calories, thank you very much.

Then watch me get cancer from the creepy artificial sweetener chemicals...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
