Restoring Diet Pepsi

The only cold sodapop was the 2L of Diet Pepsi that had been in the
trunk of the car for a few weeks. Apparently, it had gotten hot
enough in there to break down the aspartame, because it was completely
not sweet. So I added some Splenda to it, and it was fine. In fact,
it tasted better than usual.

I think it is great that diet coke got spoiled. Aspartame can actually
make you fat, give mood swings, and other nasty things.

God, why would you want to? I know there are diabetics out there who have
to limit their intake of regular sodas, but I think drinking drinks with
aspartame is not a good idea.

My roommate made an apple pie once and he offered me some. I asked if it
was one of those diet apple pies, and he said no. So I took a bite and
immediately ran to the trash can. I checked the empty cans and sure
enough, it was sweetened with Splenda.

Just the presence of aspartame, saccharin, or Splenda on my tongue makes me
feel like I've got something not meant to be eaten in my mouth. Once I
drank a whole Fresca -- about the only diet drink I've ever tried that
almost completely masks that "chemical" taste that reveals the presence of
artificial sweeteners. Even after drinking that, I felt a mild, nauseaus
headache lingering. But people drink them and get used to them and they
can't tell the difference. It causes regular sodas to seem too sweet, to
some people.

Well, like substandard soda pop is related to decent soda pop, so do people
become accustomed to eating meals prepared from a dinner-in-a-box meal kit:
Add some water to the pretty orangish-yellow powder, mix and set aside. Add
some water to the grainy cornmeal preparation, mix, and set aside. Dump the
packet of red sauce in a casserole dish. Add a half pound of your favorite
cooked hamburger meat. Dump the orangish-yellow goo on top. Pour the
cornbread batter on top. Crumble some Dramamine on top. Cook in the oven
at 350º for 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes and serve. Remain
perfectly still for 2 hours after eating since the Dramamine can only do so
much to keep it down.

On occasion I've allowed myself to be suckered in to buying some of these
meal kits. The picture on the box looks kind of appealing and I figure,
why not! I'll give it a whirl. I have yet to find a good one. Sure, back
when I was first out on my own, Hamburger Helper was pretty good for a
hungry guy who didn't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. But my
roommate's girlfriend made some Hamburger Helper a while back, so I decided
to have a little since I was extra hungry. It was just nasty. That's all
I can say.

So another time she made one of those meal kits that come frozen with all
the ingredients, made by Bertelli or something like that. Those are nasty,
too. The cheapest cuts of meat are used, I found several hunks of gristle,
and it was just gross. And she was gobbling it down as if her culinary
ecstasy was more fully enraptured by her vacuum-like inhalation of food. My
first bite and my face probably looked like it had been rubbed in a cow
patty.

Sad to say, perhaps, but I loathe all diet sodas. Unfortunate, too,
because it would be nice to drink a soda without the calories. I just
can't stand the taste, or even the smell and I can always tell. Friends
have tried to fool me, but they've never succeeded. I drink the occasional
"real" Coke, but mostly I drink unsweetened iced tea or unsweetened iced
coffee with cream.

I can't believe all the [censored] you do about processed foods and
here you are loading up on aspartame and Splenda.

So that's what's wrong with my husband! And all these years I just thought

Uh oh. I see me an Aspartame troll! That stuff is an urban legend and then

I've been drinking diet sodas for 30 years. Why waste empty calories on
a sugar (or these days HFCS) solution, when you can spend them on far
tastier things?

Which is why I drink water. Diet soda, no matter what the sweetener, gives
me a queasy stomach. When you could get the saccharine stuff it was OK.

Did it retain the carbonation? It's been hot off and on the past couple of
weeks here.

Same here Brian. I also use a lot of Splenda in my every day kitchen
routine. I'm diabetic and drinking regular soda would really cramp my
style, glucose wise. Besides, I've been drinking diet soda for so many
years, regular soda tastes sickeningly sweet to me. My taste buds have
been well trained 😉

I believe Aspartame was once on a Pentagon list of chemical or
biological weapons because it had such a terrible effect on people and
experimental animals. In order to get it onto the market at all,
Searle engaged in a lot of questionable, dodgy business that would not
impress the general public. They were under Federal Investigation at
one point, they were about to be dragged into court for flat-out lying
to everyone about Aspartame's dangers (brain tumors, cysts, weird
effects on the brain, dead research animals, etc.) when political
strings were pulled by one Donald Rumsfeld, who apparently knew how to
spread money around in order to make it all go away and that's exactly
what happened.

Same here. I'm not a diabetic, but my mom is, so that is what I drank
-- Tab and Fresca. Full-sugar(or HFCS) soda is too... thick. And
syrupy. I can't stand it.

What really annoys me is that many places don't have any diet,
caffeine-free soda. The only diet pop is usually diet Coke. Ugh. I
can't have caffeine after lunch or I won't sleep.
