IMO all "diet" flavored drinks tast nasty.. darned artifical sweeteners..

YUCK! YES!

Also, you will notice that most soft drinks are sweetened with HFCS, not sugar. If you were to hijack a case of Coke that was destined for Europe, it would be sweetened with sugar, and you would likely notice the difference.

Actually some sodas in the US market are made with sugar instead of HFCS..
for example "pepsi's" Sierra Mist natural, a "throwback" mountian dew, and a few others I can not remember offhand.
