if you happened to be at a fast food establishment where you were able to fill your own drink at the soda fountain, and while you were filling your large cup with the diet pop of choice, while bemoaning the lack of CHERRY flavored diet pop in fountain form at said establishment, you noticed that the fountain also contained a tap of a sweetened strawberry beverage. You might have thought that adding a shot of this strawberry flavored beverage to the aforementioned diet pop might taste something like the unavailable premixed cherry flavored diet pop.
you would have thought wrong.
very, very wrong.
{{{Hugs}}} It’ll be all right.
When I worked at Sbarro’s, we used to mix and match. More so on Xmas when we added different alcohols to our strange concoctions. Then we just tried not to breath our alcohol breath on our customers!
The Kid is into Strawberry Shortcake these days. Everything in our lives is strawberry.
I feel your pain.
This is what I do: if there is no cherry diet, fill the cup most of the way with the regular diet, and then add a little cherry cola to the mix. Totally cuts the taste. And the people at Wendy’s will do it for you, if you ask. Apparently there are many of us who do this!
alas, no REGULAR cherry coke was available, either.
stupid mcdonalds. I will stick to regular diet coke there from now on.
though the strawberry fruitopia mixed with sprite is delicious, when you need a sugar rush.
It’s been my experience that diet pop does not play well with most anything. However, if you want to see a cool pop explosion, add some sugar to diet pop. It’s quite an energetic reaction.
Vince just reminded me of something I want to try. Thanks!
Heeey it doesn’t taste THAT bad. Just a bit cough syrupy.
I don’t like soda much, but when I do the self-serve thing… I always mix ‘em all up. Diet coke + root beer + Dr. Pepper + Mountain Dew + Strawberry whatchamacallit =
Crap.
But all of soda tastes like crap anyway.
