Mind if I ask: How so?
- randallsquared 3y agoI dunno about a week, but it only took me about three weeks to switch from regular soda to diet soda, back in the mid-nineties, and I really didn't like the taste of diet soda when I started. After 2-3L a day of diet for several weeks regular Mountain Dew tasted sickeningly sweet and I no longer wanted it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- themitigating 3y agoSimilar experience here. The sweetness of regular coke bothers me. Diet coke is more tart and sweet. I also love Diet Redbull for the taste however it still has a small number of calories and carbs so they make Redbull Zero which I can't stand
- mixedCase 3y agoIt's just what the human palate does. It adapts to circumstance. Skip sugar and sweet stuff for a few months and when you try it again everything tastes much sweeter than before. Same with salt. Same with acidity. And surely other things I haven't tried and corroborated with peers.
