i don't understand why this is a thing, i tried it hoping it would taste similar to regular sprite, but it tastes horrible, like splenda mixed into carbonated water

I prefer and will only drink regular sprite and not sprite zero

Though at first similar taste, I found sprite zero has a very bad after taste that lingers in your mouth for a long time after

Probably from the sweetener....

The sprite zero is very flat. Less bubbles and fizzy than sprite regular

Also there is the synthetic taste of probably comes form the sweeteners

Will stick to regular sprite
Or water

No sprite zero for me
