As a kid, Diet Coke was all my mom ever bought, so I spent years getting used to it.
I dont drink much soda anymore, but it seems the last few times I’ve had a can of Diet Coke, it’s just not good. It seems more bland than ever before. I don’t seem to dislike any other sodas more than I used to.
Anyone else notice this?


To add to that list, manufacturing does go wrong, the formula could’ve been off in the can you drank. Plus during manufacturing it’s possible for a teeny tiny pinhole to be made in your can, which will alter the taste more and more over time, and even evaporate some of the liquid causing an imbalance. You can squeeze the can a little to see if it has less resistance than other cans you have under pressure.
