No it's not you. All artificial sweeteners do taste disgusting. For decades I was a Coke purist. I wanted all the sugar and caffeine that God intended Coke to have. I could easily drink 6 - 8 cans of the stuff every day. Sometimes more.

Surprise Get past 40 and develope high blood pressure. So no caffeine and sugar for me. I now drink 1 or 2 DC Caffeine Free a day but only with food. After 2+ years I still can not drink the stuff alone. I don't understand how anyone can say that any of the sweeteners taste like sugar. Sorry, but something has got to be wrong with their taste buds. With food I can tolerate the stuff and it gives me my "Coke" fix. But, nothing tastes better with a Chicago Lou Malnati's Pizza than the "real thing".
