I can't seem to find diet mountain dew code red anywhere.
What's the difference between american and japanese coke zero?
I can't believe this godlike product hasn't been brought up yet.

Japanese version tasted like the usual Canadian Coke Zero to me..
Like some other folks here have said, it's oddly more difficult to find than the other Coke Zero flavors. It seems like the least stocked version of the soda at the stores in my area.

I remember one store sold Diet Crush and how it tasted practically the same as regular Crush. Since then I've yet to find it anywhere.

Dude....I'm so hoping your name is from Vanguard Bandits.
I stopped drinking pop back near the start of the year. I don't do diet sodas since I can't get past the aftertaste. Then I was doing some of these sparkling fruit drinks since they were kinda like drinking soda but recently I started buying http://www.truelemon.com/true-lime-black-cherry-limeade. 10 calories and sweetened with splenda. I don't notice any aftertaste so it's now my go-to drink.

That's odd, I thought I was the only person in the Western world who has heard of that game. But no, I've used this name before I played that game.

Personally to me the tasties diet drinks are those that don't try to imitate original's taste. That's why I don't like Cola Zero, it tries to hard to taste like the real thing, but because of lack of sugar it will never get there.
Meanwhile Max is just a diet cola drink, very different taste from regular Pepsi.
Yes and it's pretty amazing.
Now if they only brought this to The Netherlands, life would be perfect.
Please tell me a Coke Vanilla Zero also exists... Please?!
Yep.
Praise Coca-Jeezus!
It's basically flavored water as far as contents goes.

Why am I just finding out about all these Coke Zero flavors today?!
Yes.
Frankly I'm trying to find a Freestyle soda machine that houses the mythical 7 Coke Zero flavors.
It makes me ill after consuming it. And it's not in my mind, it's usually after I eat something and then look at the ingredients after, which isn't often nowadays.
For health reasons I also don't eat caffeine, dairy, chocolate, or pretty much anything with artificial sweeteners, or eggs.
I don't miss anything except for brownies and stuff. I also don't need to lose weight, so it's pointless for me to ever drink aspartame, which doesn't really help anyway.

Sprite Zero is fucking amazing, I drink that and TAB like it's going out of style.

Whenever I drink soda, it's diet, but I have to wonder how bad it is for you. Regular soda obviously makes you fat, so what black magic did they pull to remove that from diet soda? It doesn't taste that much different.
yeah any diet drink is fine. some say there's a study that it actually makes you fatter and they give you cancer blah blah... but opting for a diet soda with a meal will knock off about 250 calories
the calorie count in regular sodas is insane. unless you plan on having one or two a week i don't see how anybody could see that as a better alternative

If you feel ill after looking at the ingredients I might wage that it is in your mind, this of course can be as strong if not a stronger cause of sickness. If it is or isn't' you've identified a product that you are allergic to, which is fantastic for your personal health. I just wouldn't go around bad mouthing the product. People who can't eat shellfish or peanuts don't seek their way into threads concerning them and mention it makes them sick.

I never liked regular Mtn Dew, but for some reason I really like Diet Mtn Dew. Pepsi Maxi is also good.

So except for a regular coca-cola and maybe some regional sodas/pop, I don't really drink much regular stuff anymore. I switched over maybe when I was like 12 or 13. Back then, it wasn't really like commanded by my parents, but they kind of just had a rule and would just say lay off the pop after my 2nd or 3rd in a week. But I just hated having that sugar coating feeling on my teeth, and I think I tried diet at some point and kind of liked it. It seems like there is a lot more bite to it than regular pop. Pepsi for me was the worst as far as being just too flat and sugary when compared to diet Pepsi which I really like. All of the coke zero products are really pretty good too, especially the Pibb Zero and Mello Yello Zero. My favorite go to is definitely diet mountain dew. Diet Dr. Pepper, I can really taste the difference between that and regular.
I try not still drink a lot, but I am probably at like 4-5 12oz cans a week, which is probably too much still.

Well, this is obviously the case, but how do you just remove the calories from something? Something about it seems unnatural. You don't see diet pizza, or diet fruit juice, because it's impossible.
I know aspartame is a big ingredient, and that it gives you stomach lining, but other than I don't know. I don't trust diet soda at all.
I still drink it sometimes, though

Aspartame gives you stomach lining, eh?
They don't remove the calories by some magic, they are imitating sodas from the ground up without calories. They take the flavoring principles they use in regular soda, mix it with water just like regular soda, but then it's lacking sugar and sweetness. Sugar rounds out the sweet flavor and adds calories, so the nifty ingredient (one of the most thoroughly tested ingredients in the history of food regulation and approvals) aspartame provides a sweetness that they can't balance out using the other flavorings they have. It's not black magic. It's just something that our bodies basically have no reaction to other than the sweetness or need for, so it is handled much like any excess ingredients we consume.

All the calories in regular soda come from sugar. Regular soda is just sugar and water. Diet soda is water and artificial sweetener, no sugar.

It probably is hard to remove the calories from something but that's not how it's done with diet soda. Sweet is just a taste we were conditioned as cavemen to associate with sugar. If you found a big bush of blue berries back then the tiny amount of sugar would send you into a Scoobie-Snack like rage. But now we can distill sugar down to it's base elements and pump it into whatever we want.
Fake sugar mimics the sweetness but doesn't contain the same carbohydrates as real sugar. It's a swap for sure, but one has calories and the other doesn't. And the amount of sugar you find in a can of soda is so grossly beyond what can be found in nature.
Edit: If you toast a piece of bread aren't you removing calories? But then the burnt parts are carcinogens.

And it's a natural plant extract. It's used in the Vitamin Water Zero line.
My tongue will touch aspartame for ya!
For me, it depends on which one I drink daily for a longer period of time, cause then I need to switch it up every now and then.
My current list is:
Pepsi Light > Pepsi max ~ Coke zero > light coke
But I can already feel light being pushed down, and I welcome the double caffeine overlords that are max/zero.
