The verdict is in

I love regular diet Dr Pepper, but I've been under-whelmed by the flavors. this one sounded like it ought to be good, so it was very disappointing.

Ok, I tried it tonight. To me it tastes like chocolate flavored lip balm. You know the way your lips taste if you lick them after you put the lip balm on. That is what it reminds me of. My son loves it though.

Maybe we're getting a bad lot, I did taste the chocolate, but it was just over run with a nasty bitter taste. I know someone else got a twelve pack & freecycled 11 of them cause they didn't like it - that was my first knowlege about the stuff.

Yeah, that definitely doesn't sound right. The stuff I tried was sweet, with only a little bit of that diet after taste. I suggest trying it again in a few weeks, when a new shipment has probably come in. That, or try it next time you're out of town. Because that doesn't sound at all like what it should taste like. No wonder you think it's disgusting.

I don't like water, while Austin is supposed to have good water, I find I don't care for the taste most of the year. I am just too lazy to make iced tea.

There's a drink, Canfield's Diet Cherry Chocolate Fudge Soda that is wonderful. If I were going to go for a diet chocolate drink this is the one I'll go for next time.

Strange, now, one of my other responders loves it, but taste is all, well, a matter of taste. I have had arguements with FRIENDS that don't understand, I don't like certain flavors. One was sure I didn't like grapefruit because it was bitter (that's mostly why I don't care for nuts) and nagged until I tasted it. I finally did so I could go - yeah, sweet, tastes like grapefruit. I DON'T LIKE GRAPEFRUIT! I ate it as a kid until I grew up enough to tell my mom - Why am I eating this? I don't like it. I have never liked it. I'm not eating/drinking it any more.

I have no one to look after me in my old age either but that's not going to stop me trying to live as long as possible - I rater like living :-) I never drink fizzy soft drinks, for one think, I don't particularly care for the taste, and for another, I don't think that drinking chemical concoctions go to well with a healthy lifestyle.

I know they say its bad for us, but I'm not planning to live to my mom's age. I don't have a devoted daughter to take care of me like mom does.

I've only seen the flavor in the diet form. It might not be so bad in the sugared form, who knows.

There's a drink by Cadfields that's chocolate & pretty tasty, not as good as regular diet dr pepper, but not nasty. Ya know, I don't care for any of the flavors they've added to diet dr pepper, I think if they just added cherry, like they have to coke, maybe it'd be good.

I don't like the cherry vanilla or the berries dr pepper. I like sweet, but I love ginger ale. I can't drink any cola so there's hardly anything Pepsi has that I can drink.

yeah, and it isn't cherry enough, actually I've pretty much stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper, even it started tasting not as good as it used to

Huh never knew that non-diets went flat faster. See I learn something new everyday!

I like sweet, I drink diet because I just don't need those extra calories & I find that sugared sodas are too sweet & go flat faster.

Ouchers, I know a few people that have problem with Aspertane, Its one of the few things that don't seem to bother me. Have you tried the diet sodas with Splenda? I guess I'm just not brave enough to add chocolate to my DDP as well as the cherry - I'm pretty old fashioned.

I'm glad to know someone else didn't like it. I drank less than half a bottle of the stuff & threw it in the recycle bin. I managed to drink all the cherry vanilla one I got and have drunk it when nothing else was available a time or 2, not nearly as nasty. This TASTED diet!
