    I don’t understand why everything has to be so sickly sweet. Give me a soda with real sugar, but like 1/16 the amount

      I like excessive sweetness in all of my beverages since I’ve been drinking excessively sweet beverages all my life. I got the taste buds of a toddler. Still, give me aspartame over sugar, even on the off chance that the meager amount I consume gives me cancer some day that’s probably better than what too much sugar would do to me.

      I love spicier ginger beers and sarsaparilla, they’re so much less sweet and have a lot more flavor

        Totally. I actually make my own ginger beer and root beer. I make the ginger beer super spicy

      Ive been buying no added sugar cranberry juice (5 cal/serving so low sugar even including the natural sugars) I pour it into a massive dispenser and water it down, basically 6 parts water to 1 part juice with the intent being it make slightly fruit flavored water - it still taste like juice! I can’t imagine drinking it straight, we as a society are addicted to sweetness.
