I was surfing around for Diet Coke Plus info because a manager at my local Virginia grocery store told me it was discontinued. I doubt this seriously and have been in a mild state of…panic since hearing this news. As an avid Coca Cola drinker I must confess I wretch at the thought of Diet Coke. When my doctor said I needed to try diet drinks I balked and threatened to sue, but then I found Diet Coke Plus. Many other DP-fanatic friends don’t like DCP either, but for us Coke fans, it’s a blessing!

You didn’t list Coca Cola Blak… the only one that if you can’t find it you can “do it yourself”

Personally I don’t like Vanilla Coke at all, but I guess that is the beauty of the world, is just a matter of personal taste!

SinisterMorality,

Nutrasweet (aspartame) has been an FDA approved sweetener for 25 years. The issues you report were known back in the 1980s. After dozens of studies, there has not be one single study that indicated any sort of correlation (let alone causal relationship) between consuming Nutrasweet in hot or cold beverages and the issues you are reporting.

That being said, I use Splenda in my tea.

Hey Adam,

there is aparantly reason not to consume diet sodas at higher temparatures:
-
The structure of aspartame seems simple, but what a complicated structure aspartame really is: Two isolated amino acids in aspartame are fused together by its third component, deadly methanol. In this structure, methanol bonds the two amino acids together, but when released at a mere 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the methanol becomes a poisonous free radical. Methanol breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde, embalming fluid. Methanol is a dangerous neurotoxin, a known carcinogen, causes retinal damage in the eye, interferes with DNA replication, and causes birth defects.

I don’t usually reply o “surveys” or blogs…But since I found another one of the apparently few who had a passion for Diet Vanilla Coke, I decided to respond: I would agree that Diet Vanilla Coke is an 11. When they stopped making it I decided to show my buyer’s clout and STOP buying Coke. It doesn’t seem to be working (ha ha). I didn’t like the Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke (not liking Black Cherry and the fact that it was issued to replace Diet Vanilla Coke – did not help!). So I tried Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Pepsi – I thot it was better that Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. THEN THEY CAME OUT WITH DIET CARAMEL CREAM PEPSI – Rank = 13. I’m not sure I would go back to Diet Vanilla Coke.

It is even less often that I respond to a site when it erases EVERYTHING I wrote just because I had entered my e-mail wrong – PLEASE allow us to go back and make the needed corrections WITHOUT having to rewrite EVERYTHING!!!!! This time I have it in Word and will copy & paste….

Ive been drinking Coke Plus for a couple of weeks and like it. The taste is different than diet coke yet I think the Plus has the edge.

Rebecca,

I can’t believe you read my blog! No way Diet Cherry Coke is an 8. Yuck. Too tangy.

I disagree I believe diet cherry coke to be an 8 and diel vanilla cherry coke to be more like a 4. I appreciate your evaluation but on this one you are way off. There is too much going on with the diet cherry vanilla coke. Keep it simple. They have a good thing going with regular diet coke. The should just stick with that and call it a day!

Ah, Valerie, there are so many times. In truth, the best warm diet coke is a room temperature one, left out maybe for a couple of hours in an open can. Surprisingly fizzy & flavorful.
