Yep i've drunk many diffrent countries DC and there are many diffrent tastes some good some bad some downrite nasty ... a lot of the reason is diffrent countries use diffrent sweetners Stevia for example ... for some unknown reason has not got into the Zero or diet Coke over here as yet even though the blind taste trials of 2015 and 2016 proved great in the uk... I was lucky enough to get in on both tests and to me at least i found it was like drink Coke as a kid (before i was Type 2) full flavour and actually gave me the original Cola boost ive been craving the last few decades .... At the presant moment (last two years or so) ive become a addict/happy slave i admit to ... Who ever it was who first created that drink deserves both a pay rise and a knighthood .. that person alone has made Diabetes OK .. i just wish Pubs and Clubs would start selling it ... years ago i was tasked along with two colleagues with the sad job of inventing a list of drinks that mixed well with Dr Pepper (took me several months and a few hang overs 🙂 ) .. yes it was a thankless but someone had to do it ...
