Soda or 'Diet' Soda?

[Conan Edogawa]

I don't drink soda often, but when I do it's always regular. Diet is so much worse for you, and tastes awful.

Regular soda all the way. Diet has that awful aftertaste. Strangely enough, the rest of my family prefers diet, which completely baffles me.

 

[Zeffy]

Regular soda is better than diet IMHO. I don't like diet soda's 'aftertaste'. UGH.

Diet tastes funny to me in the first place, but my grandfather sort of scared my out of wanting to drink it. knows someone who used to have spasms a whole bunch, and apparently it was because she drank so much diet soda. 3 a day or something like that. She switched to one or two regular sodas a day and soon the spasms stopped completely.

I remember hearing that whatever sweetener they use in diet soda are present in Splenda. I haven't done extensive research, so I don't know exactly what the chemical is, but we're basically under the assumption that Splenda's the devil. We use cane sugar or agave whenever possible. Agave syrup actually makes a wonderful sweetener, especially for iced tea.

I drink soda quite often, but I choose to stick to the regular kind. I've never really tried diet soda before, and I probably never will.

I prefer the real thing because I detest the aspartame (whatever you guys call it) taste of diet and I find artificial sweeteners unpleasant. It taste like bitter and metallic, which makes the taste of my mouth awful after I eat something. I can't see how anybody can drink that crap. =\

I don't drink much soda, but when I do it is regular. I wouldn't be surprised if diet is less healthy than regular, after all, it is for helping people gain less weight from soda. Also, diet tastes sugary. Is it just me?

I honestly don't trust diet soda at all, but have it occasionally, or when my Dad get's me the wrong drink. Anyways I prefer the regular old soda, I wish they didn't fill nasty stuff into diet drinks, otherwise I'd drink it whenever I can. I'm not a big 'soda' drinker, but it's come to my attention that I've been consuming a lot lately, which is not good. So I have been turning to water which is better for you.

Diet soda for me. I try to keep myself in good shape, and normal soda would just be a sin. It turned out to be a bad thing, though. Now I get a lot more sugar cravings than I used to.

 

[Purple Materia]

I'm not a health nut, as I drink about four Monsters a day, so I prefer regular.

 

[Fyreflies]

I get headaches, stomachaches, dizziness, etc, when I have aspartame. No diet soda for me.

 

[WonderGirl]

Yeah, I kinda guessed that diet soda has more chemicals than soda itself, that's why I prefer normal soda ^_^ And anyway I'm far away from being fat so what the hell do I care about diet soda :P

I hardy drink soda these days. But before when I used to drink it, I drank regular soda a lot. But then when realized I needed to stop, but I couldn't. So I switched to diet soda. But then I totally stopped altogether. Because diet soda is just as bad as drinking the regular. I will drink some sometimes, but it is once in full blue moon. I drank one for the first time in a long time and I thought it was really too sweet. Blech...

When it comes down to choosing Regular or Diet sodas, it's really a "Pick-yer-Poison" kind of thing. I'd honestly rather die a fairly quick death by cardiac arrest than die a slow, agonizing, expensive death to nearly incurable cancer. So yeah, Regular soda all the frigging way!

That being said, I don't really drink soda often enough for it to be a health hazard anyways. I vastly prefer sweetened tea. (And yes, I use REAL SUGAR!)
I still can't stand diet sodas anyways, because of the lack of density and the aftertaste, which is horrendous. x3

 

[Livewire]

Regular soda. Because Diet soda is even worse for you with all the artificial crap they put in it. :)

 

[Agent Clank]

I like both kinds of soda.
But I prefer Regular.

 

[Lucy Lu]

Regular soda. Because Diet soda is even worse for you with all the artificial crap they put in it. :)

I totally agree. Diet soda has all those chemicals and artificial stuff in it. It isn't good for you. I learned the hard way. So I stopped drinking soda altogether. It was a good choice.

 

[Mario The World Champion]

I hate diet soda! With all the stuff they put in it so they say it's diet, it makes the soda taste nasty!

Just give me regular soda. I don't care if people say it's worse than diet! At least I won't have that crap diet has in me!

 

[Eucliffe]

Diet soda is made with aspartame. Aspartame is bad. Not to mention Diet drinks are yucky in my opinion.

I'll stick with my caffeine or caffeine free Coke (which has no benzoate, which is also bad and in most caffeine free sodas, not to mention those "zero calorie" sodas), thanks <3

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Soda, because I'll take that over the crap they put in "Diet" Soda.
