Default Diet Soft Drinks without aspartame?

Is anyone familiar with a diet soft drink that does not contain Nutra-Sweet? Dr. Atkins recommends diet soft drinks with Splenda, but I am not aware of any.

Thanks,

Kristi

Thumbs up Soft Drinks

I love Diet Rite and their flavors. I drink one about twice a week. I count it as 1 carb because of the Slenda. They are really good.

Arizona makes a line of No carb drinks with Splenda. Diet Icetea, white grape, blueberry..etc. I like them all. Hard to find...Walgreens and Pathmark and 7-11 have them here on Long Island. There is also something called Fruit 2 O, which is lightly fruit flavored spring water sweetened with splenda. Tried the Lemon flavor...was good but not great... BUT it might be good for someone who needs a little boost to their water intake.

If you are a member of BJs they carry Polar flavored sparkling water made with splends. I like it alot better than the Diet Rite.

I drink Diet Rite also. Another is Diet Hansen's...I've tried the black cherry, ginger ale and root beer. There's also peach and strawberry kiwi and more I can't remember. I've found them at Kroger and health food stores.

Diet Rite IS Caffeine-Free [as well as Sodium Free.]

In addition, if you don't mind Caffeine, there's also Diet RC [which is virtually impossible to find, but exists,] and Clover Valley Diet Cola. The Clover Valley is dirt cheap [$0.50 for a 2 Liter and $2 for a 12 Pack] and easy to get [at least on the East Coast.] They sell it at most if not all Dollar General Stores.

Here's a list of products made with Splenda, but that doesn't garuntee they don't also contain other stuff we can't have: http://www.splenda.com/library/asse...withsplenda.pdf

Waist Watchers uses Splenda... it comes in SO many flavors. Ginger ale, chocolate (never tried it, but it might be interesting), black cherry, vanilla, grapefruit (like fresca!), plus all the normal sodas (cola, lemon lime, etc).

Hi - Hansen's soda is also great and without aspartame. Most of their flavors are fruity but they have a rootbeer that my friends who love rootbeer say is terrific!
