Naw, I think it's because he specifically enjoys diet coke more. If I want a soda, it's diet coke or nothing. I'm in good health, but diet coke tastes great while regular coke almost makes me feel ill from the thick syrup.

Same. The only thing that calms the beast that lives in my soul is the sweet embrace of aspartame. I cant even really drink mixed drinks with non diet soda. Sugar Free Redbull and Vodka just hits so good.

My behaviors shouldn't be emulated ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm now 9 years sober, by back in my day I would do redbull + tequila as my hair of the dog drink of choice. Cause if I survived one, I felt great.

Is it because US coke has corn syrup instead of cane sugar?

It's a factor. Coke, Diet Coke, and Coke Zero all taste different regardless so individual preferences are guaranteed.

Yes.

I can't stand American Coke but if I ever see the bottles of Mexican Coke then I'll get that.
