Sucralose soda pop?

[tmcg]

Has anyone yet come out with a diet cola soft drink made with sucralose rather than aspartame?

At a very nice con in Little Rock, Arkansas, a couple of years ago, I found something called Diet Big Red in the consuite bathtub. Being very much a Northerner (though I was made an honorary Bubba at a Birmingham DeepSouthCon), I had never heard of this beverage. I saw sucralose in the list of ingredients. Oh yay! I thought. Splenda soda! A strange silence fell over the group I was chatting with as I popped the can and took a sip. It was like a college initiation, or a practical joke. This drink tasted like stale beer and Robitussin. There being no spittoons, I quickly returned the liquid to the plumbing portion of the bathroom from whence it came.

I'm hoping some beverage company somewhere will do better than this. Anyone run across anything?

Being married to someone who is allergic to Aspartame we have been searching for Splenda pop, here is what we've found:

Diet Coke has a Splenda version - but it can be hard to find.
Pepsi One is another Splenda pop.
Diet 7Up was Splenda for a few months, but they have switched back, except for their Diet 7Up Plus line.
Diet Rite of course.

Keep on buying Splenda pop so that the industry will make more!

Arg, I'm sorry to hear that Diet 7Up switched back. I didn't drink it much, but I'm rooting hard for sucralose to win out over aspartame in general and hate to see any ground lost.

Thanks so much for the list! I didn't know about Pepsi One, and I'm going to search for the Diet Cokes that have Splenda.

I'll definitely keep supporting the industry.

Thanks again!
