I’m not sure if it’s just me but it seems when I drink something sweet it stops being noticeably sweet only a couple mouthfuls in and I’m starting to wonder if it’s just me

    Not sure if this is a joke, but yeah. For me, it’s got a bit of acid (from the carbonic acid byproduct of carbonation) and a subtle sweetness. Plus whatever flavoring they add

      I’m being serious but even the the non flavoured stuff has sweetness? maybe my taste is off since even most apple juices are bitter or sour, been that way since I was a kid though arazona green tea can be pretty sweet at times

        It’s subtle, but yes it tastes “almost” sweet despite there being no sugar.

        Do you drink sugary drinks or eat sugary foods on a regular basis? There is some research showing that excess sugar intake can drastically reduce your body’s ability to sense sweetness.

          Ya I’ve been putting a decent amount of sugar into my tea for a long time last I measured it was about a 80 grams cup per 24oz after adding milk or cream just to make it sweet to taste
