alright, so two days in a row I am endangering my innards for you loyal readers by ingesting a diet drink?! i really must have issues. or perhaps full-on subscriptions! hey that is a good idea, a subscription root beer service! i suppose there was a Root Beer of the Month club but i did not join since it was pricey and all they mentioned was sodas i had had. so who am i to talk about good ideas when i don’t even support them when they actually happen? so yeh, this soda…
i guess i don’t hate this. unlike 95% of diet sodas, the aftertaste on this one is bareable. granted it is still there and all bitter and metalic and yucky but it seems to take longer to happen so i actually do have about five seconds to enjoy the taste before that kicks in. to me, that is a very long time, for a diet soda. perhaps you could time it better and then take a sip of water or something right before the time when that aftertaste makes your mouth into a cesspool. the taste is even semi-rootbeer-ish! a creamy, pretty smooth flow and mouth feel, rare in a diet soda. among the diet brands, i would rank this pretty highly. the problem is, this is also being compared against sugar-filled sodas which do not make my stomach feel weird and iffy.
