Fizzy pop tasting turns sour

On Moorgate yesterday there were nice people handing out 150ml trial cans of Diet Coke with Lemon. I picked up a couple, and had my usual bottle of Coke with lunch while Leon had his trial can. "Like pub coke with artificial lemon" was his verdict.

I was therefore not expecting great things of this stuff, then, but when I did actually try it myself I was startled at just how shit it was. I don't really know how to describe it- the pain was 24 hours ago now and it's started to clear- but I do remember an incredibly strong yet unpleasantly artificial citrus flavour. Quite who they're expecting to buy this atrocity I don't know.

Me? I'm sticking to Irn Bru.
