Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke?

Hey everyone,

At one time, in Saudi Arabia, there was only Pepsi available. Coke was not available, and I am not sure whether it was banned or simply not available. So I grew up drinking Pepsi. But, lo and behold, Coke made a splash in the Kingdom. Coke was seen as something pure American! So, I went through a phase where I would drink Coke, and then Pepsi and alternate. I could not tell the difference between the two. If you pour Coke and Pepsi in two cups and not tell me, I would not be able to decipher which one is which. But overtime, as I became more conscious of my weight, I started to drink Diet Coke, because Diet Pepsi tasted funny. So, Diet Coke it was. But just a few days ago, I was at the mini-market, and the fridge holding Coke drinks was broken, and I was resorted to taking Diet Pepsi. I had that drink after a long time! Diet Pepsi tasted so much better. There was faint taste of something sweet, that made Diet Coke taste bland. So, as of today, I am switching over to Diet Pepsi, or as my Arab friends would say, Diet Bebsi!
