Many people on diets drink artificially sweetened sodas, but I find artificial sweeteners to taste foul.
They do indeed. The surprising thing is, at least from personal experience, that with prolonged exposure, the metallic and plasticky aftertaste of artificial sweeteners has gone away. Admittedly, this is with two weeks of probably 6+ cans a day of every diet soda under the sun that you can possibly imagine, and it was fairly foul at the beginning, getting less noticable toward the end of the two weeks.
My advice, at least if you have a sweet tooth like me, is to stick with the diet drinks -- they eventually end up tasting (subjectively at least for me) indistinguishable from the "real" sodas.
