    How bad do you really think they are for you? Does anyone here on this forum have specialized information i.e. being a doctor or other method of knowing? I'd appreciate it because I like them too much in my opin.
     
    I think they taste plain! Its really really gross. 0_0
     
    I have one thing and thing only to say: aftertaste
     
    what i think about diet drinks: They're disgusting and nasty.
    i drank some diet coke the other day and it had the worst aftertaste >.>
     
    You all just have no taste. I know quality food! :p Jk but your taste buds get used to the taste after a while I guess.

    Is that because the taste is so horrible they all die off until you can no longer taste it? Diet drinks taste horrific. Full sugar FTW!
     
    I've tasted some before, and they're not that bad. That is, if you drink it once in a while. I could think of hundreds of beverage and drinks that could be better than their "diet" counterparts.

    Does it even work?
     
    Saying "drink/eat this and you will get slim/won't get fat" is blatantly counterintuitive; but none the less, diet anything exists simply to cater to the 'overwight middle-aged woman' demographic and/or similar. Some people do simply prefer it for taste, though.

    Well, they're meant to be good (ie better than the standard version, not actually 'good' per se) so I'm not sure what hat you pulled that notion out from.
     
    Everyone knows diets don't work. It's nice to have a low-sugar (or low-sodium, or low-whatever) option for your food, but having diet soda is like having low-fat lard. Just don't have it.

    Fun side note: a can of diet coke floats in water; a regular coke sinks.
     
    Diet sodas are sweetened with a harmful substance called aspartame which is a neurotoxin.
     
    Uhm. I honestly can't taste the difference between diet and regular drinks. lmfao.

    Unless it's Dr. Pepper. I can taste the difference, and I prefer Diet. <3
     
    I go for the Diet bubbles faster than the regular stuff.

    Diet 7UP, Diet A&W Root Beer, Diet Coke, Coke ZERO, Diet 'Dyspepsi' are what I enjoy.

    Regular soda I like best is Schweppe's (sp?) Ginger Ale, Dr. Pepper, Canadian Mountain Dew, and whatever black cherry soda is lower priced.

    I seriously miss Tahiti Treat.
     
    With the volume of carbonated sugar water I consume on a regular basis, I'm killing myself no matter what I choose. I'd rather kill myself quickly with the regular soda than slowly with the diet sodas. XD

    ...besides, the sweetener in Diet Coke is known to cause cancer in lab rats. >_>
     
    I think I'd rather go with water; you really can't go wrong. The only soda I can bear drinking anymore is Dr. Pepper, and I don't want to see how they butcher Dr. Pepper by taking the good parts of it out.
     
    Do you drink only one or two diet sodas a day? You're probably good. They do cut the calories a touch. They can also increase your blood pressure and do have some of that sweet aspartame in them, which has had studies done linking it to brain cancer but not had anything massively conclusive. However, unless you're just going to town you'll be fine.

    Also Diet Pepsi is delicious. Once you get used to it the regular stuff actually starts to taste terrible.
     
    I know some people at school that drink coke and company every day. I personally think it's bad if you abuse. But humans are like that, when they like something, they abuse of it. I don't drink a lot of, maybe once every 3 weeks or so.
