Yes, I know soft drinks, especially Coca Cola will rot your teeth or are the root of all evil and will lead me into morbid obesity. I also don't want to hear how you don't drink anything other than pure glacial melt water poured by virgin's through hollowed out unicorn horns into pure crystal glasses manufactured by some little known glass blower in south east Kurdistan either. This is about 'full fat' soft drinks, specifically Coke Life. Thanks. (other discussion of soft drinks is permitted.

Anyway I tend to avoid normal Coke as I find it actually tastes very little of Cola and all I get from it is a mass of bubbles and overbearing sweetness. That and it's not good for my teeth at all and if I spend a couple of days drinking it it's as if I can feel my teeth slowly dissolving but the Coke life has lower calories and less sugar thanks to a natural sweetener from the Stevia plant which results in 33% less calories than normal coke. Of course it's still not the healthiest drink in the world but I found the not so sweet flavour quite enjoyable. Anyone else tried it?

P.S. I can't drink any of the diet options as Aspartame, well, lets just say it 'goes through me quickly'. And they're not that palatable either.
