New aspartame-free diet Pepsi fails
The only folks complaining about aspartame in diet soda are the people WHO DO NOT DRINK DIET SODA! For those of us who like (and crave) our DP, this new formula may finally cure us of an addiction lasting, well, decades for this girl.
I began drinking diet pepsi in college; only pregnancy and nursing interrupted my slavish devotion. Once that kid was free and clear, I was returned once again to enjoying my favorite beverage. This aspartame-free version has been given a fair trial period, but it leaves an unpleasant sickly-sweet aftertaste, and it is missing its signature fizzy effervescence -- which was the main reason I'd always preferred diet pepsi over diet coke. Worst.
Decision. Ever.

I doubt all the aspertame haters flocked to diet pepsi.
I have drank diet Pepsi since 1984...this new aspartame free is horrible....even makes me nauseous....too sweet ...terrible aftertaste....
I was addicted to diet pepsis, drinking over a 12 pack a day. I do not know what I am going to do now, because the new aspartame free diet Pepsi is awful and it leaves a terrible aftertaste!
I just took five 36 can cases back to Costco for a refund.
I do not like diet coke or any other sugar free drinks.
Maybe it is a sign that I need to give up sodas.
Terrible decision PepsiCo
I agree it is absolutely horrible... so disappointed and like you I will be broken of my DP addiction that I have had for decades.
This new formula is terrible. I will never drink diet Pepsi again.
I totally agree. I will have to go totally H2O when my few cans I rounded up over the weekend of the old recipe are used.
Please change it back.
What are you thinking? It taste awful.
In a world where little happiness prevails and many disappointments and challenges are encountered everyday for me; the only relief/pleasure I often had was a refreshing Diet Pepsi a couple or three times each day. It gave me something to look forward to and never let me down.
It was my old standby friend that I could count on. But with the new recipe my lifeline is ruined. It tastes awful. Please change it back.
It makes me sick when I drink it. I beg you please change it back.
Exactly! Please give me my Aspartame! I was not complaining about my favorite drink.
The new Diet Pepsi is horrible. Tried it 6 hours ago and still can't get the aftertaste out of my mouth.
