Default DIet RC Cola (Canada)

Well, I found Diet RC Cola at Army & Navy store today in New Westminster, BC. That's the good news. The bad news is, it's made with aspartame and that Ace-K stuff, so there's no point.
Bah, humbug!!

I wonder if someone in the US could check the Diet RC Cola and see if yours is, in fact, made with Splenda?

I went to the grocery store this morning - couldn't find diet RC - just regular RC. Sorry.

I just bought a 12 pack of strawberry-kiwi and they say that they are made with splenda as does the raspberry and tangerine. I haven't tried the white grape but i would assume that it is as well.

Diet Rite does come in a cola, and also tangerine, red raspberry, white grape, strawberry kiwi - those are all I have seen so far.

Yes, I have found DietRite in Bellingham. I was referring to Diet RC Cola. Not sure if it's the same company? This one has caffeine, whereas DietRite does not.

Diet Rite and Diet RC are always getting confused for some reason (perhaps the company is linked somewhere) and has been for some years.

There are quite a few posts on the Diet RC vs. Diet Rite scattered throughout the Products Forum (and no takers on a bet that they're in all the other Forums as well).

When you have a moment, see what a SEARCH brings up...

I believe there's also a Product list of (yup) Splenda sweetened products, both at Splenda US www.splenda.com and Splenda Canada www.splenda.ca -- that might be quicker.

Interesting, the Splenda US site lists Diet RC Cola under the Royal Crown Company (makes sense, eh?) but the Diet RC Cola that I saw on sale here was in a display of Cott beverages, on sale at 4 for $5 (or was it 5 for $4)... I wonder if Cott distributes RC here in Canada...

Cott's a licensed 'bottler' for RC products.

Yeah, found the www.cott.com site myself. Unfortunately, their "Contact us" info is snail mail only.. I know myself well enough to know I'll never get around to doing *that*.. lol

Just seems weird that they would have one Diet RC Cola made with Splenda in the US and a different one made with aspartame/aceK here. Why on earth would they do that?

I read a post about Diet RC cola being sweetened with splenda, but I've yet to find it at any stores around here. You can order it by the 6 pack from this website:

I've never ordered soda from the web, but I might give it a shot to atleast try it. Diet Rite is ok, but I miss the caffiene sometimes.

Diet RC and Diet Rite are both made by Royal Crown. Royal Crown is a subsidiary of 7Up/Dr Pepper. 7Up/Dr Pepper is a subsidiary of Schweppes.

Oops. They have both on that site. I guess I copied the wrong one. Here's the correct link:
