I tried it and can't stand it. Still tastes too sweet for me. Nothing but Diet Coke(with Lime) for me.

C2 is NASTY. Initial taste is Ok but man is the aftertaste bitter.
Pepsi edge is the same concept, tastes a little better, tastes like half diet and half regular. That's probably exactly what it is.

I was a regular Coke fiend for 25+ years. 3-4 per day, more on the weekends. I gave it up 4 months ago for a strange beverage I had heard of but rarely saw in my glass . . . water. I still drink coffee (drip and espresso) to get my caffeine, but I'm off the corn syrup/ sugar/citric acid and I don't miss it. Nothing against Coke drinkers, but the sugar was killing me and NutraSweet makes my brain swim.

I tried C2 and do have to agree that it tastes like crap. It's made with Sugar, Splenda, and Aspartame. What's up with that? Why can't they just take their "Diet Coke" product, get rid of the Aspartame altogether, and just use Splenda. I drink products that are made with Splenda like Diet Rite and they taste really good. Diet Rite has almost the same taste as Pepsi. It's that Aspartame that gives Diet Pops that nasty aftertaste. You don't get much of an aftertaste with Splenda though. If the "Diet Coke" would use Splenda instead of Aspartame, it'd taste almost like real coke and still have 0 carbs.

Pepsi Edge tastes more like Pepsi than C2 tastes like Coke.

C2 has that asptertame which, in my opinion, makes it taste half like Coke, half like Diet, with no kick.

I'm allergic to aspertame so I agree, get rid of it!

I drink Diet Rite and while it's no Coke, really isn't bad at all. I've love for their to be a Coke version sweetened 100% with Splenda.

Leila,

I just picked up a case of Kirkland Diet Soda (Costco house brand) and it's favored with Splenda(sucralose) instead of nutrasweet. Pretty good stuff and it's cheap too.

Yeah, anything flavored with Splenda tastes better than aspartame. I enjoyed the C2, but I did notice the aftertaste. I got used to it, although I haven't bought any in two weeks. I drink Diet Vanilla Pepsi pretty much exclusively but if I get an urge for a non-diet Coke, I would grab the C2 instead of the regular Coke.

I haven't tried Pepsi EDGE. I don't think it's in Las Vegas yet.

I'm pretty picky about colas, and I like the new low carb Coke. I didn't notice an after taste, and I will be supporting the product (although the 20 oz bottles label carb content in 8 oz. servings, so you still need to be careful). P.S., I went from drinking 6 Cokes a day to none over the last 6 months and have lost 35 pounds and feel a lot better. Maybe I forgot what real Coke tastes like.
