That's sick!!
I used to prefer Pepsi easily, but got to where Coke seems better. I don't know if it changed or I did. I like RC too. Remember when 3 liter bottles were common? You never see those anymore. I think they went flat too quickly.
...As for going flat...absolutely a 3-liter bottle will go flat pretty quick. It has to do with the volume of the bottle and the nature of carbonated liquids. The carbonation in the liquid does not want to stay there. It wants to move from the liquid to the gas and the more available volume there is in the bottle (like when it's half empty or more) the quicker it will go flat. Agitation will accelerate this process. So the trick is to either drink it pretty fast as it approaches the halfway point or go for a smaller bottle. But mostly drink it quick. If they could make a (cheap) bottle that shrinks to fit the liquid it would almost never go flat....

Coke Zero is my favorite...tastes remarkably like Coke. But I prefer a lower cost more so I end up with Diet Pepsi. Which is not bad. It certainly tastes better to me than Diet Coke. I can't stand Diet Coke...horrible formulation. I have tried RC and don't care for it.

This is also one of the reasons why restaurants don't use bottles. The other (and bigger) reason is that it's cheaper to buy the drink in concentrated form (syrup) and carbonate it on site. Concentrated syrup is cheaper to transport than pre-mixed which is the biggest reason why restaurants make their own. Cost beats quality. But even if it didn't quality would still dictate mixing on site.
Artificial sweeteners independently or combined are a rail spike
through the head or volcanic regurgitation. Give me sugar 19 @
calories per teaspoon. or corn syrup
Doesn't Coke Zero use Splenda or something instead of NutraSweet?
I really, really cannot stand NutraSweet, period. It is vile tasting, and anything but sweet. Splenda is tolerable. But really, as far as beverages go, I've been drinking a lot more water these days.
I can't drink diet or zero products. To me, they all have an after taste. My wife insists I'd get used to it, but I can't. It's either the hard stuff for me or nothing.......and nothing is not a choice.

I like regular too more often than not. I really miss the old coke, the pre-1980 cane sugar coke, that stuff was fricken awesome! I want that back! ::angry::

Buy Coke bottled in Mexico, it's cornsugar free.
And that aftertaste is your body telling you that you just consumed something you shouldn't have.
I've heard sugar is becoming common again, as the price of corn has risen.
