I tried the diet version (yes! they have a diet version) and it was okay. I
only drink Diet Dr Pepper, or Diet Dr. K (Kroger brand which is damn good),
just to let you know I don't drink sodas with sugar.
It had a twang that I didn't really like, but I liked it better than any of
the Diet Coke + lime, lemon, or vanilla. I liked it better than Diet Coke
too. I definitely would not switch from Diet Dr Pepper though. It is my
all-time favorite.
However, I would put it in the category of something I would like to have
one every now and then. This is coming from someone who drinks close to a
12-pack a day.
Have a good day!
