    For me it’s anything diet or zero branded. Fucking aspertane. That bitter aftertaste just feels like someone raped the sugar out of the beverage.

      Sucralose and Acesulfame are nearly just as disgusting to me. Stevia is the only one I can drink.

        I’ve never looked up which exact sweetener is bitter to me, aspertane just seems very common. However, there have been no sugar free drink I’ve enjoyed.

        Don’t get me wrong. These sweeteners are sweet, but then there’s this long lingering chemical bitterness. And it fucking stays in the mouth like onions or some shit.

      Weird fact about it, it has the same amount of calories per gram as sugar too! It just happens to be approximately 200x sweeter, so they can add 200x less.
