Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2006Diet Coke with Splenda
I find the new Splenda variety of Diet coke to be a little "too" sweet - even with added lemon juice. I tried adding some plain seltzer to it - less than half the portion - and like it better this way. Try the Diet Rite Zero. Splenda... no caffiene... not as sweet as the Diet Coke.

Laurie and I tried Diet Coke with Splenda and found it to be just plain nasty! We couldn't stand the taste at all. It is worse than Diet Pepsi, and that's saying quite a bit.

Coke Zero seems to go flat very quickly. >>> Laurie and I tried Diet Coke with Splenda and found it to >be just [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Coke Zero seems to go flat very quickly. Maybe that is because no one can drink if fast enough that it still has some carbonation in it. LOL I had to say that.

If it were the only diet soda on the market then I might consider doctoring it. But it's not. So I'll just buy something that tastes good to begin with.

However, if you ask for that in a restaurant most of them don't know what you are talking about and they don't have it.

But if you ask for "club soda"... and they have a bar... they'll get you one. Jennifer >> I prefer seltzer to diet sodas of any kind.

Club soda contains bicarbonate of soda, aka baking soda, aka salt. Seltzer, on the other hand contains only carbonated water unless it is a flavored seltzer such as lemon seltzer. Even then all they added was lemon flavoring. I like club soda, but they charge two to three times as much for that as they do seltzer in the super market. The sad thing is that seltzer costs more than diet pop such as Diet Coke even though it is only carbonated water. Order club soda in most restaurants that have a bar and you will find yourself paying the same price as for a mixed drink and no refills. At least that has been my experience.

You'll get a teensy glass with those teensy straws and a lot of ice. If you order a diet soda, you might get the same or you might get a large glass. I've never gotten a large glass of club soda. SignatureSee my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm If you're ever out in Los Angeles Chuck... I'll buy you a seltzer at Jerry's Deli. They offer a HUGE glass of .02 Plain on their menu. Cost: nothing. Jennifer >>>I prefer seltzer to diet sodas of any kind.

It's almost worth the trip just to have a glass or two. When I was a kid and there were drug store soda jerks if you wanted a Coke or such they put a measured amount of the syrup in a glass along with sparkling water, aka soda or seltzer. Years later every fountain that I saw that had Coke, Root Beer, etc. also had a button that would just dispense carbonated water. I don't really know when those were phased out. A couple of years ago I could buy a twelve-pak of club soda for the same price as seltzer. A few months ago when Laurie was having a stomach flu episode I decided to buy her some. I was in for quite a shock. A six-pak cost the price of a 12-pak of seltzer plus half the price of another one. I could buy a one liter bottle, but that would have gone flat before we could use it. It was still pretty high priced compared to 7-up, etc. SignatureGrandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ The following information is given with the utmost respect for the armed forces and civilians who have died in the current war in Iraq.

From this link, you'll have to click on "Inside Canada Dry" and then the club soda to get the nutritional info. http://www.canadadry.com/ This is one reason why I prefer seltzer. Less sodium. When I used to go out to clubs, I'd drink club soda and it would make me retain water like crazy.

Here, it is not so common and when you do find it, it is expensive. No restaurants have it that I know of. Club soda is a little more common but it's higher in sodium so I don't drink it very often. SignatureSee my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm I always ask for Sparkling water...if they don't have that I ask for Club Soda...and also ask for a slice of lemon and lime...tastes pretty good that way. jacquie On Tue, 07 Mar 2006 22:14:15 GMT, "Julie Bove" <julienospambove@verizon.net> wrote: >> I find the new Splenda variety of Diet coke to be a little "too" sweet - >> even with added lemon juice.

Flatman, I always use half seltzer and half diet coke or pepsi because I want to cut the caffeine and I find it less sweet also.

None of them taste very good to me. I get the flavored carbonated water from Walmart or Krogers called Crystal Clear. It has no sugar in it and it tastes pretty good. Doesn't go flat too quickly, either. Jeanie >> Flatman, I always use half seltzer and half diet coke or pepsi because I >> want to cut the caffeine and I find it less sweet also.

LOL I guess I tend to think of "soda" as cola or the syrupy colored fizzy stuff. This is clear and crisp with more fizz than flavor. Jeanie |
