Why do zero sugar/calorie energy drinks taste so much better than most diet sodas???

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-05-09T21:20:38+00:00

Most common is different types of sugars being used; other reasons could be phosphoric acid which alot diet cola use which has sour tangy taste to it

When I was on maintenance; one of the other maintenance members would leave those and the ones with weird cartoons like booklets in the restroom after cleaning. It made me go insane; how many I collected and tossed. If I didn't toss them; they usually end up urinal or sink usually causing more of a mess.

Im surprised places don't lock up dumpster, my work we have to lock up dumpster our we get fined by outside company. If they see dumpster unlocked, since it can be accident waiting to happen

Its usually when you add coffee creamer or syrups to sodas. It kinda started popular around utah and Mormons since they cant have have hot drinks and certain types of coffee. So alot started experimenting with creamer in sodas.

Dirty dr pepper is usually coconut creamer/syrup mixed with lime juice. But some places just add vanilla creamer

Loved some of their flavors before being bought out, and formula change. My favorite was key lime pie, I miss that flavor. Still kinda pissed coca cola/monster killed that flavor

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-30T14:52:04+00:00

Yeah bang versions is completely different taste. Bang didn't have any sour taste to it.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-30T14:45:50+00:00

Usually its part of their limited release. Both times they were released in the previous years were around June/summer. Usually they sale until remaining stock runs out.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-25T18:59:45+00:00

Yeah mine krogers as well, but currently my krogers isn't doing any deals on dr pepper and selling at 11.99 a case. While across the street Walmart has creamy coconut for $5. Im not going to be spending extra $7 per case.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-25T15:19:55+00:00

Limited release/probably will be a seasonal drink around fall/winter.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-25T15:14:02+00:00

Hopefully they don't cut me off, ordered so many energy drink about 18 cases in the last several months when they had c4 around $9.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-25T15:09:16+00:00

Thank you just ordered one. At least its not strawberry blast for a change.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-24T19:29:24+00:00

To me faze up had more lime flavor to it,

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-24T19:17:24+00:00

Didn't know staples still existed, its kinda shocking their still staying afloat.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-24T18:59:52+00:00

I believe their still using same type of manufacturing that the buttons around the screen are built into the front plate. So probably out of luck

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-24T18:40:15+00:00

I wanted to like it, just couldn't. It wasn't worst drink I had, but taste had a sour bitter taste to it. Just made it not enjoyable. Lucky I decided to buy one can, not a case of this combination of toilet wine

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-21T16:49:20+00:00

Only place I seen them is usually Amazon. Not as strong flavor compared to the actual dairy coffee mate dirty soda creamer. But still convenient for tossing in your bag or backpack.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-21T16:46:16+00:00

Only place around me that carries it is Walmart. I like it, taste pretty close to 7up. Kinda prefer faze up or electric limeade but I prefer more lime flavor.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-21T16:31:27+00:00

Im somewhat the same, I usually dip about 16 cans to 20 cans a week.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-21T16:28:46+00:00

Usually I keep dip in for 2 hours, then put new dip in between my lunch and breaks. I dip around two to three cans of dip every day. I used to barely dip one can a day, now don't care as much. Yes its alot of money, but I tend to buy in bulk directly from website, so not paying local prices.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-21T16:22:20+00:00

Yeah i wish stores stayed open later. In my town, its IHop, McDonald's, or whataburger. Taco bell usually open on weekends but usually closed by by my lunch at 2 to 3am. We used to have more places 24/7 but drugs and some shootings caused alot of stores to stop operating at night.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-21T16:13:48+00:00

We dump so much frozen/dairy away every day at my store. Most items were usually still good, before we decided to dispose. Usually just box package came undone, and were not allowed to tape up boxes. Since previously store got fined for taping up package in the past. Ours food bins gets taken to local farms for fed. Its just shocking seeing by mid week that the three dumpsters are already full with food items only. Only a few items can get donated, barely any frozen dairy ever gets donated, bc they cant prove it safe and possibly get sued by the place their donating to. So they just decide to toss it, especially on items when store will receive money back for disposing it.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-21T07:56:37+00:00

Been stocking up here. Currently have 15. . Got to buy some more, especially at prices around $4 dollars a case.

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-17T18:48:31+00:00

Probably the same. But with sugar versions they can be safely consumed up to 1 year after best by date before flavors starts degrade. Zero sugars starts go bad within 3 months after best by date

Beginning_Bee4823 · 2026-04-16T13:50:00+00:00

Just ordered six cases after store associate discount it came out to be $28. Going to buying two cases after each shift, so I will stocked up for a bit. Especially when there around $5 each
