It also helps with the Zero-style ones that they use a couple of different sweeteners.

One of the tricks I found is that when I occasionally want sweet tea, I'll take a packet of Equal, sucralose, and stevia and add to my glass. You get more of the sweet but without enough of each one that the bitterness or other weird taste you get when you use enough to make it super-sweet doesn't happen. It just tastes sweet.

im the same with diet "soda", now the sugary ones is just too sweet and you know you feel bad drinking it. i think mexican coke, aka cane sugar is the best one from what ive heard.

I cut back my regular Coke addiction with Coke Zero, and was not happy. I found Pepsi Zero tastes closer to what I like than Coke Zero does. And if I add a teaspoon of sugar, it's almost pleasant to drink.
