8:45 AM: O Irony

Back in my last post, I was tending toward taking up Diet Pepsi again.

There are two reasons why I opted for Diet Pepsi in the first place. The first is that I liked the taste better than that of any other caffeinated, carbonated diet soft drink. The second is that it's historically been the only caffeinated, carbonated diet soft drink that didn't leave me with a horrible aspertame aftertaste even when downing two liters of it daily.

One thing I hadn't considered was that in addition to being almost caffeine-free for over a month, I've also been almost aspertame-free for the same period. Turns out that once having crossed that bridge, even half a cup of Diet Pepsi is enough to leave me with a cloying aftertaste.

I think I need a new plan. I'm not sure what that new plan ought to consist of. I switched to diet soft drinks in the first place in an attempt to do one thing right for my teeth, and I'd just as soon not go full circle...
