I am also frustrated by favorite products being discontinued. I am a
rabid fan of Diet Mountain Dew. I don't like the regular Dew because
it is too sweet, but the diet is just the right mix of citrus without
the extra sweetness. Imagine my surprise when I began drinking a new
bottle recently to discover it was...bad. It truely tasted as if the
soda had gone sour or something! I realize that this is not
probable,and maybe not even possible, but that is the way it tasted.
I found a blurb on the label that says "tuned up taste". I guess the
taste was "improved" but the vendor. It sucks and I am considering
write a letter to the bottling company to complain. It may not do any
good, but I would feel better!
Cyndi-grateful for the opportunity to rant!
