Anyone tried it? I'm drinking a bottle of it right now. It's a lot like drinking Diet Coke mixed with Lemon-Scented Pledge - which isn't as bad as you'd think. Just wondered if anyone else tasted it yet.
 
I live on diet coke and have lime in my gin... so I'm sure the taste I would approve of :)

I'll watch the shops down here in NZ for it... or is it your own mix?
 
Diet Coke is bad enough... but they added Pledge to it also?? :eek:

Haven't tried it.. and I don't think I will.
 
I looove diet coke... and i've always put lemon in it. there's a 12 pack of the new stuff downstairs that i haven't been brave enough to try, i'll let you know.
 
I'm about halfway through the bottle, and I think I've decided that Diet Coke With Lemon is all right. It won't supplant Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi as my day-to-day soft drink, but I'll pick it up at 7-11 every now and then for a change of pace.

But not in the bottle. For some reason, drinking soda out of plastic bottles is not as pleasurable as out of cans. Am I alone in this?

Laurel, what's with all the threads tonight? You out of stories?

Quite the opposite...so I'm trying to find anything to do but edit & post. Me being the lazy ass that I am.
 
Oh, why not

I'll support you on that one, Laurel. I guess where all just weirdos in the can/bottle preferance.
 
Yes. I really prefer soda out of bottles. Beer too. Can't stand the taste of the metal can.

I do miss the old glass soda bottles though... they were so cool, and it tasted different comin out of those things.

Don't mention the things they used to find in those returnable bottles... that's NOT what i was tasting!
 
Diet Coke sucks.

Lemon-flavored soda sucks.

No, two negatives don't make a positive in this case. :)

I used to think so to, until I was basically forced to switch to diet cola. Now regular non-diet soda is just too sweet. I haven't tried the DC w/lemon yet, but whenever I am at a resaurant, I always ask for a slice of lemon with my soft drink, so I imagine I will like this stuff, just need to get around to trying it.
 
well i never !!!!

Geez , i thought i was strange ........

when i go out , i normally get a diet coke , no ice , slice of lemon ...... it's been my standard drink for years now ... but i must say , i only like fresh lemon or fresh lemon juice :D
 
70's

I've been mixing my Pepsi like that since Pepsi Lite went away in the 70's...But I don't mix it so Lemony...Laurel, e your way
 
I have a whole case of the diet pepsi with lemon in the fridge now. I think the lemon makes it taste sweeter.
 
I've been drinking it for about a month now. It is good for a change, but sometimes I need the old standby, PepsiOne. Haven't tried the Pepsi Twist yet to compare the two.

As for those of you who don't like diet colas, try PepsiOne. It some new kind of sweetner and you actually get 1 calorie instead of none, and it doesn't taste as "bad" as the normal diet stuff. (seems to make me go pee more though. It's strange) I had to switch to diets because there's too much sugar and carbs in the regular stuff.
 
i love diet coke but the new one with lemon is awful...diet pepsi twist is much better;)
 
Diet coke and Pepsi strip the enamel from your teeth at an amazing rate. It works even faster than regular soda because of the artificial sweetener combined with all that lovely acid, who knows what a "dash" of citrus does to it. Maybe you'd be better off actually adding lemon Pledge to protect from the effect and giving a little varnish. Oh yeah, Pledge is probably poisonous, forgot about that.
