Diet Pepsi is not diet Coke

[HeadlessRoland]

If you want a diet drink have a glass of water, that other stuff is nasty.

And Alan wins the thread! Game over, man, game over!

Meh, the issue is customer service, not what drink was ordered.

This is clearly not true, since you're ordering diet anything.

I don't get it.

Coke Zero is the only way to roll.

So when I order Diet Coke, please don't deliver a Diet Pepsi without warning and assume I'm ok with the switch.

Same as if I ordered a Corona and was handed a Zima.

Thanks.

HDoc, clearly, go to a better restaurant. I have a list.

And pizza with extra cheese is an oxymoron. Pizza is already bread with extra cheese.

False.

"Pizza with extra cheese" is just pizza with more than the standard amount of cheese.
Since (American) pizza inherently comes with cheese, the phrase "pizza with cheese" would be a redundancy, but still not an oxymoron.

Eewww...pepsi anything is just plain nastiness! If you really want to drink soda, drink the real thing. Coke. None of that diet crap or zero, just Coke. If you want less calories just put a bunch of ice in it and don't refill your cup over and over.

You shut your face! Pepsi is better than Coke, ten fold.

Smart monkey. Minus the affinity for 1911s and not Glocks.

While we're on the subject, in a kinda sorta type of almost way, Mr. Pibb/Pibb Extra is NOT the same as Dr. Pepper, and is NOT a valid substitute. If I ask for Dr. Pepper don't assume that I mean Mr. Pibb is okay. I'd rather have an iced tea with lemon.

Dr. Pepper? You mean that carbonated prune juice tastin' stuff? Whatever you say man.

Stephen87, don't thread jack. This is about diet coke/Pepsi switching

 

[HeadlessRoland]

Diet anything is terrible, Doc. That's the point of this thread.

My bad. I'll try to keep it about switching drinks next time.

Oh good heavens! My dad always used to call it carbonated prune juice. I'm having flashbacks here.


Daddy?

Diet Mt Dew!

Similar horrible taste without the Mt Dew mouth.

 

[MikeDVB]

I don't mind the taste of Pepsi but what I don't like is the lingering aftertaste. Coke is fine but with less and/or better aftertaste IMHO.

I prefer tea.
