    I like cola soda though I don’t drink it that often.

    But I recently noticed the quality is very bad now. Regardless of brands or if diet or not.

    I tried a few after noticing how bad a diet coke tasted from my local gas station. So I bought some 2 liters. Generic. Pepsi. Diet pepsi. And a regular coke.

    I’m pretty sure it’s all shit now. I think I can tell easier because I don’t drink it that often.

    Like it’s not just watered down. Which it is. But the signature cola flavor is barely there.

    Cola uses coca beans. And that’s been a big import tarriff thing. Plus greedy companies. And I’m pretty sure they reduced flavoring by at least 30% since this time 2 years ago.

    Barely drinkable.

    If you drink it all the time, you might not have noticed the gradual change. But I assure you. It’s really lost it’s flavor.

    I’ve not noticed any change for fruit flavored white sodas. Just cola soda.
