As a kid, Diet Coke was all my mom ever bought, so I spent years getting used to it.
I dont drink much soda anymore, but it seems the last few times I’ve had a can of Diet Coke, it’s just not good. It seems more bland than ever before. I don’t seem to dislike any other sodas more than I used to.
Anyone else notice this?


Thanks for sharing! That was an interesting read.
Still seems odd that they were wondering the same thing around the same time I started noticing it. Even if there was no official recipe change, I wonder if there could have been a batch that didn’t have the right syrup/water ratio.
I was actually surprised by how recent the article happened to be.
I was curious and looked it up because I had a similar thought about Pepsi recently, but I figured I don’t drink it often enough that I could trust my palate about the taste being off.
