I switched from drinking exclusively sugar soda to exclusively sugar-free soda, and very quickly ended up preferring the taste of the latter. But I also discovered that non-sugar sweeteners feel a lot… lighter? They're easier to drink, simply put; my body knows it's not sugar somehow. I also have discovered I don't like the sugar rush, feeling on the teeth or aftertaste of a sugary soda.

My theory: diet soda has no high fructose corn syrup, so it feels thinner (less viscous and sticky).

I live in the EU, so my reference point is sucrose (normal sugar). But I think it makes it more syrupy, yeah.
