They have out the single serve no calorie singles to go by Wylers Lemonade and cherry I think available in orange flavor - I found them to be really good and all you do is pour it in bottled water.........(we have great drinking water (well water it's like spring water better than bottled we are so lucky) and shake it up.........8 calories no caffine....iced tea is good also Have to be careful with artificial sweeteners some cause medical problems such as stiffness in joints. I used to be a Pepsiholic but am drinking more water now........
I drink diet Snapple and Tropicana lemonade light. they both use phenylalanine but if you get use to it you won't notice. I stopped drinking sugar drinks years ago and now I can't drink them.
i like tea, drink a lot in the winter, one of my favorites is chamomile. celestial seasons. i use the
splenda with fiber added. have other teas of different flavors. but none of them have caffine.
Try water with just a little lemon. Quenches your thirst and costs almost nothing. Anyway, what's wrong with iced tea in the winter? Tea is tea at my house. Maybe you need a decent humidifier.

Why are they trying to cram fiber into everything? Seems like so many things have fiber in them; even a lot of yogurts have fiber now. I wonder if they will come out with a Coke with fiber.....hope not.
Michi, Coke Zero and Sprite Zero are sweetened with Splenda. My bf drank one of my Coke Zero's the other day and said it tasted like real Coke to him.
Every time you pick up a can, read the nutrition label and look at the amount of sugar in it. Ever since I was diagnosed as 'pre-diabetic' all it takes is looking at the number of grams of sugar in anything and I can pass it up, no problem.
After i switched to diet drinks about 30 years ago, I could never stand the sugary Coke again, but was almost addicted to diet coke, bought generics, mostly the Kroger brand (was good enough for my taste) when it was quite cheap at $0.5 per 2-lt bottle and would use one in two days in the evening mostly. A few years ago I quit and never bothered to buy 2-lt diet pop bottles again. I may have one or two cans at meetings at work, once every two weeks or so, where they are free, but I do not buy the 2-lt bottles for home any more, and drink cold water instead. For 365 days a year, I am probably saving about $100 a year, but more importantly, I have much less risk of cancers etc. by avoiding these sugar substitutes they are using.
On winter nights, if you don't want caffeine, coffee or tea, iced or not, are not the best answer. No coffee for me after work anyway. But if it is cold, you can have your beverage and your humidifier in one if you fill a large tea pot or kettle with water and leave it on "warm" and fill your cup with a teabag of non-caffeinated teabag or two. Apple Cranberry or Camomile (that one is a bit heavy on the heart if you drink too much of it) or any green tea. I can drink several cups using one teabag every evening, which makes it light too, and no sugar or substitute most of the time.
Hmmm...good ideas. The artificial sweeteners in pop have always scared me, but I may try that Coke Zero. I love cranberry and grape juices. If I drink hot tea, I put a little Coffeemate in it, probably less than a teaspoon. That adds a milk taste, and enough sweetness for me. If I don't have Coffeemate and use milk, I add about a half of a 1/8 teaspoon of sugar; I hate sweet tea.
I do have a really efficient humidifier and even after running the woodstove for several days in a row, nobody's skin is cracking, nobody has a headache, and we aren't getting shocked on anything. I was tempted to get one of those really heavy iron tea kettles to set on the woodstove, but a friend of mine got one made in China, and had it on her stove. When she got up on the morning, the kettle was attached to the stove, like it fused to it. It's still there.
