"Imagine a world where Coke and Pepsi don't exist. Those of us who remember the Cola Wars can hardly do such a thing. But that is the mindset I had to put myself in for this tasting. Personally, I am a Diet Coke diehard. When I go to a restaurant, order a Diet Coke, and hear that all-too-often asked question, "Is Diet Pepsi okay?" I politely switch to water because no, it isn't."
"Fans of Sam's Diet Cola seem to drink it for its affordability, claiming it doesn't taste as good as Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, but the price is definitely right. At the time of this writing, at $9.87 for a 24-pack of 12-ounce cans at Walmart, that is hard to argue with. However, there do seem to be complaints about commonly finding a damaged can or two among the cases. Regardless, there are households that find these concessions worth making."
A committed Diet Coke drinker refuses Diet Pepsi and habitually brings extra cans to friends' houses and trips, relying on Diet Coke as a primary beverage. Imagining a world without Coke or Pepsi prompted a taste-test search for a satisfactory diet-cola replacement. The search aimed to find a cola that could be consumed in large quantities as a substitute. Sam's Diet Cola emerged as an inexpensive option at about $9.87 for a 24-pack of 12-ounce cans at Walmart. The soda foamed when poured but tasted flat to the palate, with perceived two layers of sweetness. Some buyers report occasionally receiving damaged cans, though many consider the price worth the trade-offs.
