> Diet soda actually tastes damn good these days, there isn't really a reason to drink regular soda.

I've been wondering about that. I wasn't sure if my memory has faded or maybe drinking it often made me like the taste but these days I find Diet Coke/Coke Zero to be equally enjoyable as Coke. Have the taste of the non-sugar Coke been steadily modified?

You also will change your tastes as you get older. So, could be a change in the sodas, could be a change in you.

Coke Zero has been reformulated multiple times. I think "diet coke" is still the same crap and still tastes bad.

The last time I tried Coke Zero, it tasted like Diet RC. I didn't like it at all.

Diet Coke has huge differences in flavor between sources and packaging options. It's universally bad out of a can or bottle, and the stuff from soda fountains varies by restaurant.
