    Aspertame is what makes the diet colas taste metallic to me. Coke Zero    
    uses *some* aspertame but mainly  acesulfame potassium and stevia. It's   
    flavour profile is very much closer to the "realMcCoy".   
       
   I note that Coke is going back to cane sugar for its sweetner and drop\   
   kicking the HFCS to the curb. Now I won't have to se3arch out Mexican   
   Coco Cola if I need the fully leaded stuff as an ingredient.

   The "Fruit on the bottom" yoghurts are nice. The 4 1/2 oz little tubs are   
   a pleasant snack if I get hunger pangs twixt meal times. Or just because.
