I am generally not after the caffine, though it doesn't really hurt
, I like the taste of Dew. I cut out caffine for a long time and have since ended that, and when I started drinking soda again, I found that most were too sweet for me as well. Soda is one of my few vices; I drink entirely too much of it lately. It used to be that I only drank it when eating fast food and didn't really keep any in the house. Now there is a stock of Dew in the pantry. I don't drink coffee though.
I don't like most diet soda; they all have that odd taste. Aspertame = yuck.
