Diet Cola, by normal soda standards, is absolutely revolting.  It uses an artificial sugar, contains more sodium, and more noticeable has a very sharp and nasty after taste.

I don’t mind it.

What I do mind, is having my heart set on Coca-Cola, spending more money on recently jacked up prices, wrapping my mouth around that delicious flavor…  and getting the taste of Diet Coke.  At first I thought it was me, but the other bottle tastes just fine.

Weird.
