Diet Pepsi? No way! The best diet soda now is fucking Diet A&W Root Beer, and I hate that shit. Anyway it's a good motivation to hurry through the mountains of tea leaves I've accumulated. I get the good stuff, from India and Japan, ha ha.

POE... POE... Purity of Essence... I think General Jack D. Ripper would understand tommylee2's excellent point... "God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural... fluids. God bless you all." Clearly this Coke Zero business is some kind of Dalai-Clique/CIA plot to split China by contaminating the motherland's loyal youth with Ace K. But be careful, tommylee2, because if you get too close to the truth... "You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company."

Exactly. VERYYYY interesting. Shanghaist, I can see a whole range of stories for you, just by going to my supermarket and looking at the soft drinks' shelf. Hey! wait! There are other shelves behind! Wow, a whole new world of posts remains to be sent! Looking forward to read about tampons and detergents.... Lucas

Shopgirl, Do you have any reliable links to support your cancer claim?

I'm with fijofojif - I used to be a major coke light (note the name!) addict. I can't drink diet coke in the US, and drinking real coke, while delicious and refreshing, will surely put me on the road to diabetes (no joke - runs in my family) So I drank coke light (lots!) and now, I'm totally off the stuff, because its 100% been reforumlated or something. I think Coke Zero tastes like death or something else unsavory. It tastes no where near real Coke, so I guess I'm off Coca-Cola products.

Shanghaiist missed the real Diet Soda scoop: Diet Coke changed its formula sometime around the New Year. Originally cans with the weird Olympic rings were the gross-tasting ones, but that label was phased out and now even normal label Diet Coke tastes gross. Maybe this is a chemical that some people are more sensitive to than others - for me, it's night & day. I'm guessing it's a new sweetener - anyway as a former serious addict of the stuff, it's now basically undrinkable. It's become almost impossible to find cans that are date-stamped last year, but if you do find them buy out their entire stock. It'll be worth the Alzheimer's you get years down the road.

I have been on a Coke Zero QUEST since it's arrival in Shanghai. Kedi stores all seem to have it for 2.40 I picked up on at Buddies today for 2.40 Now, if they will just learn to REFRIGERATE the beverages, we'll really be in business.
