New Diet Coke!

[bloodline]

Coca-Cola have finally realised that Diet Coke has a nasty after taste, you know that cross between phosphoric acid and a rusty nail that aspartame has... Anyway the great news is that later this year Diet Coke will be avaialbe that uses sucralose rather than aspartame.

WooHoo... :-D

Expect my Local Sainsbury's be sold out within hours ;-)

Doesn't matter anyway; everyone knows that Pepsi is far better!

:lol:

I could never drink Pepsi due to the aspartame taste... That's why I've had to stick with regular coke.

The diet Coke lime is quite good. You tried that?

Yeah, I'm not keen on lime though :-/

There's no way I'm freely ingesting chlorinated sugars. Sure, there's presently no evidence to suggest that your metabolic system can grab hold of it since the chlorine atoms have replaced the main hydroxy attachment points. Still, give it a while to become established and watch the next shock discovery that an hitherto unknown (which may only affect some) process in the digestive system is able to partially metabolise it, perhaps only in very small amounts.

However, therein lies the problem. It only does take very small amounts of chorinated carbon radicals to do an extensive amount of permanent damage.

They testest this stuff for 26 years before it was approved for human consumption... that includes 15 years of testing on the population of Cananda :lol:

I'm pretty confident that it's safe... next you'll be telling me that you don't trust Teflon coated cookware?

Which ones? I want names, dates... and did you love her...?

Swap out the sugar for Splenda then you might have something :-D

From OJ, milk, and 1/4 cup sugar?  Haven't tried Splenda.  Too expensive still.

Well Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar, you wouldn't need a 1/4 cup of the stuff... I would suggest maybe 4 tablets.

@T_Bone

If you 600 times less Sucralose than Sugar, it tastes exactly the same... to me any way... with all other sweeteners I can taste that they are not sugar.
