Funny, that's exactly how I describe regular pop....sugary water....(cola reminds me maple syrup).

I've been drinking diet pop for 18 years (I'm not a big pop drinker though)...so I understand about the taste. Occasionally I indulge in a diet soda, but I like it with lots of ice and lime if it's cola!!

As you can tell, I'm not particularly fond of diet pop either!!
