Diet Rite meh

Wal-Mart's out of the store brand sparkling water I like, so I tried out Diet Rite Pure Zero. Tangerine and Red Raspberry. Eh. Drinkable, and I'll finish the two 1.5 liter bottles, but I doubt I'll be buying 'em again.

I used to get Diet Rite Pure Zero all the time. I really like the cola. The fruit ones aren't nearly as good IMO.

Once I cut caffeine out almost entirely in college due to blood pressure issues, I found I didn't really like cola flavor.

You know what was really good for a while there? Slice One. It put out by Pepsi (even when they had Sierra Mist as a product at the same time), it was in fruit flavors like red and orange, and it was far tastier than Diet Rite's fruits. Oh, it had Splenda also (I know Diet Rite does), not sure if that matters to you.

Diet 7-Up had Splenda for a while there also but they went back to Aspartame, which is a shame.

Have you tried the Minute Maid Light flavors? Good stuff, although danged expensive these days.

I've only ever seen their orange, and I don't like it...tastes too much like orange juice.

Their Raspberry Passion is good stuff.... and apparently we've had this discussion before (http://dvandom.livejournal.com/150689.html?thread=514977#t514977)...

Having checked all the stores around here and Topeka that I might buy soda from, no one has that. The only Minute Maid Light flavor anyone carries is the Lemonade, and only Wal-Mart had that.
