Is there ANY artificially sweetened drink that tastes as good as the original?

[DryGermanGuy]

So far I have only found one drink or maybe one-and-a-half:

Coke Zero comes very very close to regular sugared Coke.

Schweppes Bitter Lemon sugarfree is not too bad, when cold.

Everything else that I tasted has been between weird and disgusting. What about you?

I generally like artificially sweetened drinks

I like certain artificially sweetened drinks (which?)

I endure artificially sweetened drinks

I generally hate artificially sweetened drinks

I tend to like the diet Dr. Pepper, diet root beer, diet cream sodas, and zero sugar Fanta. Zevia cola and grape flavored soda doesn't taste bad. And while this might not be considered artificial, Poppi cola flavored soda (do not EVER drink Poppi sodas at room temperature, make sure it's cold).

I stopped drinking sugary drinks about 2 years ago. I started with coke zero because I agree coke did seem to come the closest. But then I tried cherry coke zero and that was a game changer. Coke zero just doesn't have enough of a taste for me and I like the taste of cherry. Later I started drinking zero sugar mountain dew and I found I liked that to. So now I alternate the two.

Most drinks are artificially sweetend some with sugar some with other sweeteners.

Only fresh pressed juice are naturaly sweet drinks.

Personally I can't differ the taste of sucralose sweetener in Coke zero an other beverages I use for drinks and real sugar. The only different real sugar drink stains are sticky when they dry out.

I only drink coke on rare occasions, when I am unusually burned out and want a quick boost or when my health has improved so much I think I can afford a day of indulgence. The sweetest thing I usually consume is honey and I drink honey for its immunity benefits and not its taste. It was a foreign object I never used until I came down with an illness in December. Then I bought tons and tons of honey from different continents and containing different types of pollen.

For me it's Citrus Drop Zero and for many others too I believe because it outsells the regular Citrus drop. Many times when I go to get some it's an empty space but there's plenty of regular next to it.

[NathanDavis]

not in my opinion, no...

I don't really drink any other Coke that is not the one with sugarcane in a glass bottle...

which is a very good thing, since I should not be drinking much of it anyway, and I do not... lol

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, very true. The classic one (in a glass bottle) is the best.

I am fond of the diet A&W Root Beer, but others may think differently.

[SotiCoto]

Nope. Not one. Ever.
Even completely unsweetened drinks are preferable... but that is never even considered as an option.

[exitseven]

they are all yucky. Thry taste like medicine and they cause cancer.

[Massageman]

Not as far as I am concerned. Mexican Coke made with real sugar is awesome, no HFCS.

[llorando]

Out of the zero sugar sodas I've tasted, Dr. Pepper Zero sugar comes closest to tasting like the original.

[Sharkstealth]

I don't even try them. One time I accidentally sipped on a diet coke on accident without reading the label. I knew right away and dumped it.

[jamesgoldman]

Ginger ale is alright artificially sweetened but my glass generally has a scotch in it as well

[AngryCarl]

They all taste disgusting and they're probably just as harmful as the ones that are full of sugar.

[Agape93]

Nope.
