I don’t understand how anyone can stand it, or any artificial sweetener. Every single one tastes like some chemical, or soapy metal, bitter, whatever. Even the so-called natural ones, stevia, cloying and just weird aftertastes.
I don’t drink soda anyway. It’s really odd to me how much people drink it, corrosive nasty stuff.
Put some rum in a coke, ok I’m good with one. But it’s just far too sweet.
