That stuff is so cloyingly sweet you’d have to mix it with water to approach something drinkable. A true alcoholic would have a handle of dewars white.
A true alcoholic would have there favorite drink. But yea, any alcoholic whos preference is liquor is unlikely to be buying a lower strength flavored jawn. Wish I could remember the name of the one liquorice flavored jawn, the fucking exception. Its the regular 40to45 percent, but was flavored. Dirt cheap. Only wrecked ass elder alchos bought it. Ill remember later.
Probably more because of how easy it is to drink than raw strength… It’s way easier to put away a bunch of 70 proof sweetened liqueur than the same amount of alcohol worth of 80+ proof hard liquor, very easy to not realize how much you’ve had until way too late
I’ve used it instead of maple syrup on pancakes while camping. I intended it to just end up as a shit joke at my own expense, fucking around for shits and giggles, but it was legitimately sweet enough to work. Which is honestly pretty disgusting.
I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.
For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that’s an indicator or not.
yes exactly! in another comment i described it as a sweetened and carbonated bathroom potion made by a 6 year old. i shorthand that taste to vomit because it reminds me of how doing that little puke into your mouth after a big meal feels like…
pepsi max genuinely makes me want to vomit. i once only had the option to take a pepsi max at a KFC, took a few sips and felt so disgusted i didn’t even want to eat anymore. threw it out, packed my food, and went to buy a coke on the way home
are my taste buds broken? or do people really like the flavour of what i can only describe as a 6 year old’s bathroom potion of various chemicals, died black, sweetened, and carbonated
I recently discovered that there is a similar taste reaction to aspartame than there is to cilantro. It doesn’t taste like soap, but it tastes awful to some people. I can’t drink any sugar-free or diet drinks as they all taste horrific to me
I hear this but I don’t understand. All diet soft drinks taste absolutely disgusting to me. I’ve had both Coke Zero and Diet Coke and both have that disgusting fake sugar aftertaste.
I either get non-Diet soft drinks or I go flavored sparkling water. I can’t do that fake sugar shit. It’s nasty.
But the one exception for me is that I put fake sugar in my coffee. The bitter aftertaste of the coffee helps mask the aftertaste of the fake sugar.
ah man to me coke zero has this different flavor it almost tastes like black pepper or something? some kind of zip or zest. while diet coke is def the sweetest. regular coke now (after drinking diet soda for over a decade) or any corn syrup based soda leaves a weird aftertaste that i hate. but when i was younger i hated diet taste! haha
Ewwwww is that sugar free coke?
Coke zero is divine nectar
idk it reminds me of chai somehow
Looks like cherry coke zero.
Coke zero is the best one until you get alcohol involved, then you’re fucking up if you’re not using full fat coke
Though if the plan is to mix coke with that honey jack maybe the booze is sweet enough already
Disagree hard. Diet and Zero are sweeter than full fat coke. It comes out more with alcohol.
I’m pretty sure that’s regular Coke zero, unless they’ve changed the packaging again
But yeah, something about the artificial sweetener just doesn’t work with alcohol
Switching from beer to Coke Zero + rum/vodka for my drinks lost me a little weight. So much better for calorie counting.
But if you can taste the coke, doesn’t that mean you don’t have enough alcohol in there?

Worked at the state stores for a couple years.
Also cheap bourbon > cheap scotch. Fight me.
jagermeister 70 proof or 35 percent abv. Commonly thought of as a knock you out liquor but actually pretty modest.

Mmmmmm boozy pancakes 🤤
That’s why he got the Kerry gold he’s gonna stir it in there
I think the Jack D is for making bullet proof Jack D
Coke zero is decent
Diet coke is disgusting
Ditto Pepsi

I think they reformulated Coke Zero and got rid of the sucralose. It uses aspartame and acesulfame potassium.
does drinking things with sucralose make your mouth have an aftertaste like carbonated and sweet vomit? if yes then i think i have the same thing
It’s very distinct. I wouldn’t call it vomit, but it’s a lingering chemical-ey taste.

Well, you did just describe my experience with diet Pepsi pretty well…

dang! good to know

I’m the opposite, I prefer diet Coke and diet Pepsi. Chances are that you don’t like aspartame.
Technically most coke is “sugar free” in the strictest sense of table sugar versus corn syrup.
Gotta make up for all the sugar in the JD honey I guess
