Hey, just been to the local asda and bought a 12 pack of diet coke, got home, opened the box, grabbed a can, opened it ready to enjoy and to my suprise the dam thing tastes like a cross between orange fanta and coke ;) . Phoned the helpline and there gonna send a test kit out for a sample ;) . So if your diet coke doesn't taste right DONT drink it and phone the helpline. God knows whats inside it :P

Didn't they market an orange flavour coke last year? :P

Sounds like some of it got into the wrong cans! ;)

That's higly amusing. Although I can imagine not if you really fancy a coke.

I would have thought they will give you a couple of extra 12 packs as a result though. That's the kind of thing that usualy happens.

But I do agree with Minili. Full fat all the way. Ice Cold.

its not the fat that changes, its the sugars, they try take saturates/sugar out, and replace it with naturally sugarry ingredients

Similar sort of thing happened to us, Tesco sold us a fourpack of apple juice that tasted like cleaning fluid ;)
Got a refund, obviously.

I think I may be a bit paranoid now, I always sniff cartons of stuff when I open them ;)

And what were you doing buying Diet Coke in the first place? Coke with all the flavour sucked out and funny chemicals added in instead :P

Nothing natural about Diet Coke! Sugar (like what they put in real Coke) is naturally sugary, in diet drinks they replace it with Aspartame which is a man made chemical and has been linked to various cancers. Studies are still being carried out.

Everbody calls real Coke Full Fat don't they? You have full fat milk, you have full fat Coke. It's a joke.

Nope, it's definitely full fat Coke or semi-skimmed Coke! Caffeine-free, well that's skimmed and it's just plain wrong!

no, But if you Get a Fizzy Drink Such as Coke, Shake it before you open it, Then open next to your nose and sniff as the Fizz comes out, you will Feel Dizzy and proberly Faint.

After Revewing What i just wrote, ive just noticed how pointless that would actually be.
Oh well, Back to the corner shop
