Diet Coke with Splenda 

Baking with Splenda = Great!

Gummy Bears with Splenda = Great!

Diet Coke with Spenda = Another kind of bad, chemically after taste!

I can't tell if Diet Coke with Splenda is just plain bad or if it's because I'm not used to that kind of after taste in my diet coke. Years of aspartame training maybe.

I bought a 12-pack of this crap. I'll either drink it all and eventually like it or I'm going back to aspar-crap.

See, marketing does work? I'm a sucker for it.

Just an FYI! Coke Zero will be in the market soon! It has Splenda in it. It is along the line of C2 but it does not have sugar. I have tried it and it is better than C2 but it is not as good as the real thing!!! I work for coke and I will let the marketing team know they are good!!!

Maybe you can also talk to the branding team (or whatever) and tell them WE ARE ALL CONFUSED by the various diet choices . . Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Splenda, "C2" (what does that stand for!?), Coke Light and now Coke Zero. Jebus...

> I tried just one bottle of diet coke with Splenda and I thought it was great. I just hope it is healthier than aspertane<

Coke Zero is actually awesome. I buy it all the time now. It tastes the closest to non-diet you can get. The main minus is that it goes flat faster and I don't advise drinking it out of anything but the bottle or the can. In other words don't add ice in a cup. Makes it go flat even faster! Has a slight RC cola taste to it too. Yum!

I think Diet Coke with Splenda is a godsend! I don't know what I will do if they ever stop making it. I can't stand to drink anything else now!

Regular old Aspartame Diet Coke lasts the longest fizz-wise out of all these variations just outside of regular coke. That's definitely cool when you open a bottle up and re-seal it for later. I can't say the same about Splenda or Zero... it's all or nothing with those!

FYI - Aspartame is a derivitive of rat poison! In the last month, two of our close friends have had seizures that have been traced to their intake of aspartame. Their seizures stopped when they no longer used it. Does this make Splenda taste better to you?
