When I still consumed sugary drinks I also found the artifically sweetened ones to taste "boring", but after switching I really don't notice it at at all. Once you become used to it it quickly becomes the new norm and you don't miss it.
Also the taste can vary wildly between sodas, for example coke zero tastes completely different than pepsi max. Both are sweetened with aspartam.

- xtracto 3y agoThis is so much an acquired taste, people just are not patient enough. I stopped eating dairy due to allergy when I was 20. And since, I've drank only vegetal "milk" substitutes. Of course by now (I'm 40) they all taste OK and I love my shakes. But if someone who drinks cows milk tries it, it tastes plantly and nothing like a milkshake. Same thing happens with sweeteners. I stopped using redined sugar to sweeten my morning green tea. I use stevia leaves instead. It doesn't taste "better" or "worse" to me, it just tastes good and I know I dont need to worry. But my wife can taste the stevia flavour. She is just not used to it. On the flipside, everytime I get into a Starbucks the smell of "cow" (as i jokingly label it) is very strong for me. People who are quick to dismiss other flavours just havent had the necessity of adapting.
