It's the cruelest cut of all, really. Both here and in New Zealand, on first sip, the Diet Coke tastes EXACTLY the same. Especially if I get it from a fountain somewhere. I take a drink, and it is like HOME.
And then the aftertaste sets in. And it's this weird, cumulative aftertaste. One drink, it's not there. Two, you start to taste it. And each successive sip, it starts to build and grow, like a gently mounting tide of suck all over your mouth.
I miss Diet Coke, y'all.
