My weird story about Diet Coke with lime is that there was an odd can of it kicking around my house. I decided to try it one night. I liked it better than regular Diet Coke. My then-boyfriend was drinking - of all things - tawny port. I asked for a sip of it, after I'd had a sip of Diet Coke with lime, because I wanted to try a bit of this new bottle of his. The combination of the two flavors was wild! It made the port taste like raisins!

I'm a Coke Zero guy now. I can't even go back to regular Coke, it's too sweet.

My aunt drank Tab back in the 70’s when I was a kid. I had no idea it was the pre Diet Coke product! I’m a Diet Pepsi girl myself. 😁

Okay, things I've experienced firsthand. 1: I cannot stand the taste of artificial sweeteners, natural (stevia, etc.) included. And there should be a posted warning on everything that uses them. 2: My girl in my 20s was addicted to Tab. We went on a "vacation" to SoCal soon after they stopped selling it in NorCal. Conveniently she was able to fill (FILL!) her trunk with flats of Tab while we were there. I think there were a couple of 12ers in the back seat as well. 3: My buddy at work used to run the vending machines. The soda vend had two hoppers for Diet Coke. When I asked about it he said "Most of the office staff drink it and they get very angry when it runs out. It seems to be a thing with Diet Coke fans.".

I was low key hoping to see a cameo from a certain Game/Fooed/Film/Style theorist who's infamous for loving Diet Coke 🤣

I'm 34y.o. That back to the future reference to Tab finally makes sense.

The Tab issues was also Tab's saccharin content which was targeted as cancer causing agent. That wasn't sold after the fallout. So Coke switched to aspartame as the sweeter with Diet Coke.

When I first heard System of a Down, I saw their video for "Sugar." In the video, there was a brief image of a cherry pie, and it said, "Aspartame kills ". It stuck with me, and eventually, I learned that stuff was in Diet Coke. I stayed away from that stuff since, and eventually, cut down on soda altogether. If I do drink a soda nowadays, I'll have a Mexican coke.

I think a reason could've been MatPat.

Some years ago, I dated a man from metro Minneapolis who was a Diet Coke addict. He would drink Diet Coke for breakfast, right before bed, throughout the day, etc. Always consumed from the same stainless steel car cup (filled with ice) and always from countless cans that he opened per day. He claimed that Diet Coke from a can was 'fizzier' than from a 2 litre bottle. He also claimed that as a recovering alcoholic, drinking Diet Coke was 'healthy' and 'better than booze' and 'nothing to worry about'. However, when actually keeping track of how much Diet Coke he drank, we discovered that he was consuming between three to four LITRES per day and every day. No, he didn't feel that was excessive. Yes, our relationship didn't last more than a month or so (no regrets dumping him!).

I remember before diet coke when drinking Tab I learned to add a splash of regular coke to the glass to make Tab taste much better or like "Real Coke". Like going to the movie getting a big cup of Tab & telling them to ad a shot of reg. coke to improve the taste. Did anyone else do that? Shalom

A few nitpicks: Diet Coke was developed before Nutrasweet was approved. It had to work as a saccharin sweetened drink first, and to get this to work, Coke just kept tweaking a diet cola-ish formula until they found something that tasted pretty good with the least amount of complaints that people had about diet sodas of that era. The fact that it didn't taste anything like Coke Proper was not a concern, it was not the goal. Aspartame had been around for over a decade though and they had to been considering how well this drink would work with it whenever it finally got green-lit by the FDA. And don't forget the whole (sugary) New Coke fiasco. That new formula? An offshoot of Diet Coke experimentation, just with fructose.

I'd give my right arm for them to bring back that Ginger Lime Diet Coke.

Am I the only person who liked Tab? They still continued to sell it and I still preferred it over beverages that contained aspartame which triggered migraines in me. Finally gave up all artificial sweeteners

Coke Zero went through 3 versions. We all liked the original and were terrified when they announced mark 2. Turns out the 2nd version was actually a little bit better than the launch version. Everyone was happy. Then they changed it again. The goal was not to improve the flavor - they replaced sodium with potassium to make the drink healthier. Potassium has a bitter finish on the taste buds. Coke Zero is still pretty good when drank with a meal. But the standalone experience can't match what mark 2 of the beverage accomplished.

I choose to treat this video as a tribute to well known Diet Coke lover MatPat since he retired from the Theorist channels yesterday.

The problem is in overseas markets Diet Coke is becoming harder to find, especially Asia!

Don’t get me wrong, I love them both at the right time and place!
