how is it that the diet cola from dollar tree is actually pretty good

Princess Alice

it's no coke zero, but i like it more than the store brand at, say, kroger

glennmagusharvey

i prefer Aldi's off-brand fritos more than Fritos themselves, and their regular corn chips are pretty good too

Tachyon

do you like coke zero?

glennmagusharvey

local dollar store sells some Wise potato chips; I should get some of those

they also once carried Lays Stax

I think US Coke Zero might be different from UK Coke Zero, but I'm not sure

Tatterhood

I don't mind Coke zero but it's not a favourite

Tachyon

oh, yeah, that wouldn't surprise me

i remember when Tre visited Britain he said some of the sodas didn't taste as good

Coke Zero is pretty good. I hardly ever drink soda any more though.

Dollar Tree is awesome. I get most of my cleaning stuff there.

Calica

I prefer Diet Coke to Coke Zero because the former is what I'm used to

Tachyon

same

Isn't there a Dollarama in Canada, too? I've seen it pop up on stuff Ashens reviewed.

i lived nearish to a major dollar tree warehouse and distribution center for a while. i had no idea so many things cost one dollar.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between normal, diet, and zero Cokes. They're all pretty okay in my book, though I prefer root beer or sprite if I am drinking soda.

I can't drink any diet soda.

They're pretty different for me, but I have had this weird low-grade obsession with different kinds of cola and varieties of soda in general for quite a while. I'd call myself a connoisseur, but that's more than a little pretentious in this case. Mostly I'm just an enthusiast.

eriophora zia

I could probably tell a difference if I cared more about cola and drink it more often - I can DEFINITELY tell a difference between different kinds of root beer, for example.

Yeah those are everywhere. This tree thing I've never seen though.

Root beers and sodas all taste the same to me, although I've been pretty against them for awhile so that's a non-negligible factor...

glennmagusharvey

I find diet soft drinks to be blander versions of their normal versions.

Anonus

Me no likey Coke Zero

Tre

I think diet soda en generale is a disgrace, but given the choice I think something like Coke Zero is a far better way of going about making it than something like Diet Coke

IMO the replication of the original taste while removing the caloric content should be The Goal, and Zero is much closer in taste to the classic formula; thus, it wins out for me

(I've never bothered with worrying about calories, though, so if I can I'll always go for Coke Classic, preferably in cherry with a little lemonade added for taste)

Crystal

I'd generally get the diet versions, I think. Maybe the non-diet ones just tasted weird, I'm not sure, but I did enjoy them flat too so eh.
