Some people like it more than the regular. But it is also healhier. I'm not saying it is healthy but it is sugar-free soft drink. I like Diet Coke better because the taste seems better to me.

ANOTHER controversial topic. Define "Better." It DC has fewer calories, but it has aspartame, which some folks think is unhealthy. Real Coke does have a good bouquet and aftertaste. Real Coke leaves you satisfied. All Diet drinks leave you thirsty soon after. Real Coke gives you energy from corn syrup/sugar. Both have caffeine if you like it. The whole cola controversy has left me in the dust. Lemon? Lime? Cherry? Decaf? Coke2? The choice is as staggering as choosing a good wine! I'll take Dr. Pepper any day. Thanks.

As far as the taste is concerned, that's your opinion. But health-wise, diet coke may be sugar-free, but it contains additives to make it sugary but fat free. First of all, anything unnatural isn't good for your body. So artificial sweetning stuff is also bad. Second, Diet Coke contains an artificial sweetner called NutraSweet which contains something called Aspartame. I don't know much about it, but it's bad and it's linked to many diseases and stuff. And some of it breaks down into methanol in the small intestine, which is not good. Hope that helps.

I like the taste of regular Coke better. Diet Coke is better if you're trying to lose weight because of the calories that regular Coke contains, but I don't see anything wrong with drinking regular Coke in moderation. I exercise a lot and I am into the healthy lifestyle but I still drink regular Coke.

I can't stand the taste of any artificial sweetener. Coke is my favorite cola so it looks like Coke is it.

If i had to choose, i'd say regular, cuz i like my coke, but i'd rather have a 2 liter of Mt. Dew.
-
Normally I'd just take a glass of water with lemon, but if someone ad a gun to my head and was forcing me to pick out of the two, I'd take regular. I've read too many medical studies about the effects of artificial sweeteners to ever put "Diet" anyting into my body.
-
diet. regular is too sweet for me.
-
diet coke for me, if i drink it at all. i pretty much gave up drinking sodas

Regular! Diet coke has too much of a sweetener taste. A bit like all types of Pepsi!
-
Diet Coke and Mentos for sure! http://eepybird.com/exp214.html
-
It's not so fattening however, it does not taste the same as the regular stuff. Personally, Pepsi tastes better than either.
-
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! I personally can't stomach any diet soda. Be it nutrasweet, aspartame, whatever you call the artificial sweeteners in them, they ALL give me headaches when I drink them. People have told me "Oh you don't notice, especially if you use it in a mixed drink." BULLSH*T! I'd rather drink the booze straight up or on the rocks than wreck it with a diet drink. I strongly suspect one day they'll discover those sweeteners cause brain damage or worse.
-
No it leaves a bad taste and is icky no matter how many calories I'll stick with regular...
-
Diet coke..even though I am told its bad for me...dont care..gotta die from something..may as well be something I like
-
I think diet drinks taste bad - right down to flavored waer with sweetener in it. Yuck! Aspartame is horrible for you. I'd rather my body process real suger than fake stuff thats no good.
-
I think the best Coke is when they make it with real cane sugar like in Hawaii and in New York City at certain times of the year. It tastes like I remember it. Corn syrup and the new high fructose corn syurp are so awful and pretty bad for you if you do the research. HFC is bad!
-
Regular.

Regular. DIET IS BAD - IT CONTAINS ASPERTAME - IT HURTS THE BRAIN. ....Also diet pops have an ingredient in it which is diet...but it also creates hunger. So You can drink a diet, but your gonna wanna eat more... I say DRINK REGULAR POPS...just drink less...and STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING WITH ASPERTAME - A SUGAR REPLACEMENT...it is unhealthy, and it makes you sick!

I am on diet now and have been for 1 1/2 years. For over twenty years it has been regular coke (5-?) cans a day. Yes, I know that aspertame can cause heart attacks in diabetics, can cause depression or mood swings and other side effects, but WHY SHOULD I CARE? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME. AT LEAST THE DOCTORS SAY THAT. I will try to cut down. Sorry for the outburst.
-
Ughh. Regular. I can't stand diet sodas.
-
I'll take diet coke because it takes longer to rust nails when you consider that diet drinks contain more neutralizing chemicals.
-
Diet Coke, I like to pretend that because it has no sugar then it isn't bad for me
-

-
Neither, Pepsi or RC Cola, or even a Dr. Pepper. :-)
