Within the last month, Pepsi took all the aspartame out of Diet Pepsi and replaced it with sucralose. I was a bit afraid, being a life-long Diet Pepsi drinker, and remembering the fiasco of New Coke. I was pleasantly surprised. I really like it. In fact, I like it better.
In that case, I definitely need to give that a try. At the most, I may drink 1 soda a month, just because of all the sugar -- I used to put down about a gallon of Pepsi a day, in my 20s.
Sucralose is closer to the taste of sugar than any other artificial sweetener I've tried.
