because to me it tastes exactly the same

Mimi: "If you close your eyes."

Not everyone is a soda connoisseur like you. I get it, some people refuse to drink anything but the original cola. But not everyone is like that. Some of us have a reduced ability to distinguish differences in taste, myself included. To me, the diet and regular versions taste exactly the same, whether my eyes are open or shut.

This thread is not about the differences in the taste between the real cola and diet cola. Many many healthy people with no health problems have the diet version!

You need not be a connoisseur to notice that they're not _exactly_ the same.

Yea, my message, it's a quote from the musical "Rent." Was this whimsy worth your rudeness?

Sorry. That reference went totally over my head. My apologies!
