I tried Diet Coke Plus today. It tastes the same as Diet Coke made with carbonic acid and NutraSweet (aspartame). Which is good, because the versions made with Splenda are way too sweet for me. I don’t like any of the “Zero” products… again, too sweet. I can get used to the European and Middle Eastern formulas using phosphoric acid as long as they are still sweetened with aspartame. Given the sodium content is the same, I’ll probably start buying the “Plus” version. Count me as one of the sheep that fell for the marketing. Speaking of counting sheep, I’m going to try that now. Well, I’m going to take some Diphenhydramine HCl and see how many sheep can jump the fence before I doze off.
