It’s actually really annoying. I hardly ever drink sugary drinks, but sometimes on a long drive I’d get one specifically for the sugar content (sans caffeine and taurine). Now diet versions of everything seem to be default.
I literally only have Coca-Cola for an occasional treat these days - My Beloved Irn-Bru, 7up & San Pellegrino have all been adulterated with awful-tasting artificial sweeteners and are simply unenjoyable for me now.
It's a weird future I find myself in, where I will never drink any of these things again, punished because of some third party entity's paternalism where other third parties are concerned (I'm not personally fat nor enjoy a diet that would ever make me so).
