Mango loco #1, whatever the white sugar free can is #2. Because sometimes I don't want to speed run diabetes.
Ugh, Ultra tastes like metallic Lilt, utterly vile (to me).
I used to regularly buy a case of the white can to bring into work for myself and my colleagues to share. We burned through them.
Have you tried the sugarfree watermelon variety? Had a solid week of drinking that exclusively after first trying it.
The sugar free ones kinda get old fast for me, I really used to like the green ones (paradise I think) but now I can't stand them.
Similar things happened with most of the other sugar free flavors.
In the end I decided that I should really just not drink them at all and now they're a nice treat once in a while when I need a bit of energy and something very sweet.
Honestly, I prefer sugar to date, even though I know it isn't good for most parts of me. Dunno, those artificial sweeteners are just... they always feel like I'm drinking sweetened aspirin.
That's why I value anything sugar-free which can hold my attention. I know I should prioritise discipline, but given how things are going nowadays... Well, let's say a bit of hedonism has become a must for me in maintaining a semblance of psychological stability...
My brain works in fantastic ways so I have absolutely no idea. I don't think I have, but that doesn't mean I haven't. I'll see if my store even has any tomorrow.
Can relate, though my memory seems to be functional when related to taste.
Thoroughly recommend a taste if you manage to find some, it felt simultaneously fresh and nostalgic (used to have a lot of processed fruit juice/soda variety when growing up).
