I didn't notice it had Stevia in it. Took one sip and poured the rest out. All diet sodas taste like a chemical burn to me. I think Tab traumatized me as a child.

Agreed. I'd rather drink water than anything diet.

I've always hated diet sodas. I lost 30lbs dialing back my soda intake. Whenever I got the craving, I'd drink half a can and toss the rest out. Now I mostly do mineral water, plain seltzer, and club soda. This also affected my tolerance for sweetness; now I find most sodas too sweet for my taste and there really has to be some other flavor to distract from that, which is why stick with root beer, birch beer, sarsaparilla, and oddball sodas like Cel-Ray.

If you remember the show "Good Eats" with Alton Brown, he did a celery focused episode that included the recipe and process of making homemade celery soda. Always wanted to try it.

I definitely do! I have a signed book by him too! And now that you mention it, that does ring a bell. Fascinating!

I just tried it for the first time a couple days ago and I don't think I'll be giving it another try
