As a kid, Diet Coke was all my mom ever bought, so I spent years getting used to it.

I dont drink much soda anymore, but it seems the last few times I’ve had a can of Diet Coke, it’s just not good. It seems more bland than ever before. I don’t seem to dislike any other sodas more than I used to.

Anyone else notice this?

      It’s possible. That’s why I’m asking. If nobody else thinks so, then it must just be a me thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    This may sound weird, but blow the top before the first sip. The cans are under pressure, so there might still be some CO2 gas in the top of the can

      That was my thought on the first one that seemed off, but I’ve had others from different sources that were the same way, and it’s unlikely they’d ALL be expired , but I’ll have to start paying closer attention to the dates and see if there’s something to that.

    Possibly Long COVID symptoms? I remember reading a few years ago about scented candles (or something like that) suddenly getting review-bombed by people complaining that they weren’t scented much, if at all.
