Diet coke, I don't like so much. Because it's got that fake sugar stuff and look at me. I'm not in need of it. I do hope they find a way to make it taste like Coke though. My family has a history of diabetes, so I might end up having to get used to it some day. So I still don't know what to say about this, so more filler text from Wiki!
Diet Coke (formally known as Diet Coca-Cola) is a sugar-free soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company. It was introduced in the United States on Independence Day in 1982 as the first new brand since 1886 to use the Coca-Cola trademark. The product quickly overtook Tab in sales.
Diet Coke was sweetened with aspartame after the sweetener became available in the United States in 1983; however, to save money, this was originally in a blend with saccharin. After Diet Rite cola advertised its 100 percent use of aspartame, and the manufacturer of NutraSweet (then, G.D. Searle & Company) warned that the NutraSweet trademark would not be made available to a blend of sweeteners, Coca-Cola switched the formula to 100 percent NutraSweet, later switching back and doing without the NutraSweet trademark. Diet Coke from fountain dispensers still contains some saccharin to extend shelf life.
