        I really don’t understand how people can’t tell, I’m starting to wonder if it’s a genetic thing like with cilantro.

          I can’t claim to taste it everywhere, you could probably slip it by me in something. But with sugar free drinks across the board, they all have this bizarre sickly, sweet taste from the sweetener that I just can’t stomach.

        Unfortunately, not everyone thinks it tastes badly. Even worse I’m someone who can absolutely tell the difference between sugar and sucralose (Splenda) and it tastes god awful.

        I’ve gone from drinking sugared drinks to almost none or low sugar only. I try to keep it at 28g or less per 16oz if possible. However, I’ve really taken a liking to sparkling water. There are some great flavors out there.

          I’m the opposite, you couldn’t pay me to drink soda that has sugar in it. The aftertaste is awful. I used to hate soda until I tried diet
