Coke Zero is the best diet cola.
But cola itself is garbage compared to some other sodas, even cheap ones.
Polar Beverage Company (I think local to New England) has a grapefruit soda that's fucking delicious. And a cranberry one too. And they are usually <$1 for a 1-liter bottle.
Coke zero does taste more like regular coke but I've grown to prefer the taste of diet. There absolutely are many great alternatives but since I'm diabetic my options are limited. Aside from diet coke I really like Zevia and Spindrift.
Yeah. I get that. Diet Coke has a taste uniquely of it's own. It's really unfair to consider it an alternative to Coke-proper.
