Actually, I like the flavor of Coke. Admittedly, a lot of things taste better (most fruit juices, for instance), but it's kinda pleasant sometimes.

I'd never drink the caffeine- or sugar-free stuff, though. There are so many better things that come without caffeine or (much) sugar in them naturally and don't have hideous, evil chemicals inserted into them to fool us into thinking they're unhealthy.

It's amusing when the diet food has substitutes for stuff that's bad for you that are, somehow, even worse for you.
