Yeah I quit drinking regular pop about a year and a half ago. Now I only drink coke cherry zero or mountain dew zero.
I think if I had switched str8 to pop my taste buds would have rebelled. But I quit pop altogether for a 100 days. That's how I discovered my addiction. Because kind of like some people who smoke say they unconsciously light up a cigarette when they see another do it. I would unconsciously drink pop, too much pop. Which is why I stopped. But the problem is I couldn't find a substitute for it. It was too habitual in my life. So as I said after a 100 days I gave coke cherry zero a try and later started drinking mountain dew zero. And I proceeded to lose 50lbs. It made sense why to me. Because I wasn't consuming 50% of my calories in sugar anymore.
Some people will say zero sugar pop is bad for you. That may be true. But it's still better for you than full sugar pop. I don't really miss the sugar. After this long I've had a couple regular pops (when sugarless wasn't an option) and I really couldn't taste the difference.
Anyone who want to make the switch like I did I recommend they do what I did. Take a 100 days of. That 100 days of sucks. But it'll tell you if your addiction is the sugar or just habitual.

Yes, I drink it, not much. I am having a can of Sunkist of zero sugar and it's so good. I am careful because you just never know about these type of sodas.
I already asked this. Are you copying me?

I've tried Zero Sugar Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and Snapple Ice Tea. I like the taste and not that diet Pepsi yucky taste I hated. Now, I'm wondering what the downside of Zero Sugar drinks is. Have you tried them or are you stuck on the full sugar varieties?
Yeah. I like both diet and zero sugar. Dr. pepper, mellow yellow, root beer, sunkist, fanta, and mr. pibb is what I like. And cream sodas.

I hate all the diet and zero drinks. I’d just drink water if i can't have the regular
I don’t like them. They’re not good for you and I heard they’re not nearly as popular as they used to be.
I would rather wear the 70s clothes from your other question than drink the sugar free drink.
Water has zero sugar…much better than whatever soda has. I stopped drinking soda many years ago. Sugar free just means other chemical crap in there.
I like the way coke tastes but I don't drink it cause I am trying to lose weight. I might have one coke every two months.
They have to be non-regular flavored to me or else they'd taste gross.
Dr Pepper diet or zero are exceptions but if I wanted a zero Coke or Pepsi they'd have to be cherry or some other extra flavor.
Coke Zero is not too bad, but the very few times I want to drink these, I want the original product (with real sugar).
After aspartame has been categorized as carcinogen and stevia causes mutagenic activity I wouldn't drink a zero sugar soda anymore
I gave up that gut-rot many years ago.
Nope, diet soda always tastes like medicine to me.
