I prefer it over Reg Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper. It's good.

Someone please explain the marketing to me... you are automatically alienating half the population from a product you are trying... to sell?
I'm guessing most of their existing drinkers are women. This is an obvious play at getting men to buy it.

Nah. Doesn't make sense to me.
The only time I've had it is when it was free by the barrel full in Indy a couple months ago. Haven't even looked at one since.

Acesulfame K contains the carcinogen methylene chloride. Long-term exposure to methylene chloride can cause headaches, depression, nausea, mental confusion, liver effects, kidney effects, visual disturbances, and cancer in humans. There has been a great deal of opposition to the use of acesulfame K without further testing, but at this time, the FDA has not required that these tests be done.
besides this some studies have shown the body to have the same glucose reaction from it as sugar. so you end up causing the same problem that gives people type2 diabetes and insulin resistance just without the calories.
i'll stick with stevia if i want a sugar substitute. doesn't cause a glucose reaction and doesn't have negative side effects or dangerous long term consequences.
Acesulfame K is a molecule. Maybe methylene chloride is used in its synthesis, but claiming it contains a carcinogen is a blatantly deceptive statement. It's as idiotic as saying methylene chloride is made of carbon and chloride which are known to be safe parts of a normal diet.
Please elaborate on what you seem to think causes diabetes though...
Anything that causes large release of insulin is going to lead to diabetes eventually. When glucose levels to spike in a short period of time (like what happens when you drink a soda or eat a few pieces of bread), the body becomes resistant to the sugar removal process and you end up with blood full of sugar that has no place to go. Being fat and having muscles already loaded with glucose exacerbates the problem.

This thread is getting interesting. I'm always curious to hear about public perceptions of common diseases. Please elaborate.
What is it that insulin does?
What is the "sugar removal process" doing with the sugar?
How are these glucose spikes causing resistance?

they should bring it back, it was ahead of its time, kind of an early energy soda
