Answers:
It's the aspartane (artificial sweetner) I hate that stuff. I can usually tell if it's in something right away :(

Check out all the diet drinks, you'll see. In regular soda, it's fructose & corn syrup that makes them sweet.

They say that it's not good for you either. It's especially not good for children. I found a couple of websites for you:

They talk about the dangers, list products that have it, etc.

I like them.... I guess it is a matter of preference.

But yes. The difference is the lack of corn syrup (liquid sugar) and the artificial sweetener used in its place. Regular soda is pure sugar, 140 calories of sugar. You take that out and you will notice it.

Most of them are made with slpenda

I totally agree with you. All of them are sooo gross vecause they don't have sugar!!! Since sugar is the biggest sweetener, and you take it out, there is nothing good to replace it with. Except for splenda! And, splenda is disgusting! Also, diet root beer is sooooo gross, awful. DON'T EVER TRY THAT! It is terrible!

they're made with TONS of unnatural ingredients. i haven't had a soda in a few years....they are all made from a bunch of fake stuff and so bad for you, even if you get a diet one

you got it, also Phenylalanine is in those and i heard it makes you lose your memory. i don't think caffeine free coke has it tho

Splenda just tastes so bad itself and on the food network they said that diet coke is just mimicked by splenda....it tastes so bad i know....hate it okay? you only live once so enjoy the real stuff! =)

I happen to love diet soda...Always have..regular cokes are too sweet for me!

i think they taste pretty good sometimes.
