Tried D Coke with Splenda

Hi All,

I just tried the new Diet Coke with Splenda. Being a coke lover with a sweet tooth, I was surprised. It does taste like regular Coke, but much lighter and way sweeter. At first I liked it, but soon, it made my stomach sick. It is actually too sweet for me. My boyfriend (who hates diet soda) agrees it's "okay." I don't like diet coke, but I prefer the Diet Coke with Lime over this.
I probably won't buy it again because of the sweetness, but it's definately worth a try.

Hi there, Seabreeze!

I am in NH, and it's here, so it's definitely GOT to be in Mass..:) THe Diet Coke with Splenda has a blue 'rim' of color around the label...I've seen it in Shaw's and Hannaford, and also in Target..;)

(We love Boston...go there lots on Mom's Weekends..:)

I'm in PA...and after I tried some in the morning, I actually felt nauseaous...that never happens to me.

Hopefully you'll enjoy it. I have a feeling though it'll go off the shelves soon like Crystal Clear pepsi...boy that was awhile ago.

Hi Nicole!

Thanks! I did SORT of like the Splenda Coke..sometimes I want it and sometimes I know it will be 'too much'..know what I mean? It's defnitely sugary tasting, and you feel like it's a cheat..:)

Thanks again for your kind words...I am almost half way to goal! WOOHOO!

I finally found some Diet Coke with Splenda so I bought one. I have to say that I'm glad I only bought a 20 oz bottle -- I don't think I could have tolerated any more than that. It was warm when I bought it, but I opened it anyway. It's definitely sweeter than regular Diet Coke. In fact I totally agree that it tastes like Coke only lighter. I actually thought that it tasted like flat Coke, so I figured I'd get it good and cold and try it again later. Well, it's later now, and it tastes like cold flat Coke. I like the lightness of it, but it's too sweet for me. I'll stick to the Diet Coke with Nutrasweet.

I tried on the other day too - I saw it in the 20oz bottle so thought it would be a good opportunity to try it.
First, let me say I do NOT like Coke (diet, regular, flavored, etc) I am a Pepsi girl, through and through. So that may be a factor in my opinoin of it!
The first taste or two, I was thinking "not bad", but then it did start to taste too sweet. I think that is why I like Pepsi, it seems to be "crisper" and have more "bite" to me, Coke just always tasted like liquid sugar with no real flavor. But I did like it better than the original diet Coke (with nutrasweet or whatever they use) So if I HAD to drink a Coke product, I would chose the Splenda one over the other...but if I could choose diet Pepsi that would still be my first choice!
