Which Diet Soda Tastes Most Like The Original?
Ranking Diet Sodas Against Their Original Versions
Discover which major brand successfully replicated its original flavor using zero-sugar ingredients. Learn the science behind successful sweetener blends and where diet soda fails most dramatically.
Short Summary
- Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar achieved a perfect 10/10 score in matching its original flavor profile.
- The combination of two sweeteners (Aspartame and Acesulfame Potassium) proved key to Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper formulations.
- Sunkist Zero Sugar scored the lowest, as removing sugar neutered the essential orange fruit flavor.
Hosts compare the zero-sugar or diet versions of five major sodas—Sprite, Coke, Mountain Dew, A&W Root Beer, and Dr. Pepper—against their original counterparts. They score each comparison from 1 to 10 based purely on flavor mimicry to ascertain which "diet" option is worth bothering with.

Link is dressed like he's either going to war or going to bed.
Can't believe the crew let Link not wear a shirt for this episode...
I think this should have been a blind taste test
The Adventures of Wicker Shoes and Sprite Boy. 😅
How does Link keep forgetting about the diet mtn dew/diet dr pepper conversation that theyve had like 5 times over the years lmao
I haven’t watched the episode yet but I really hope they taste Canada Dry!
I don't think Link has ever been more sensible than in this episode, "You are on the other side of 5" was beautifully said.
I am so curious as to what happened in the Canada Dry round😂
There should be another option of sodas, instead of either 40g of sugar or zero give us an option with like 15g of sugar
Rhett floating on a lake listening to binaural beats and drinking a root beer is a hilarious image 😂
