I was listening to a podcast about the cola wars and they briefly mentioned caffeine free soda, which I hadn’t thought about in years. I remember it being prominently displayed in similar numbers to the regular sodas at the store when I was younger in the early 00s, but I’ve managed to not noticeably see it in years. Looking it up, my preferred grocery store shows caffeine free Diet Coke, Coke, and Diet Pepsi in stock, but only in 12 packs. I remember the only person I knew who drank caffeine free soda being my aunt and uncle, who are fundamentalist Christians and thought that caffeine was evil. They’re not Mormons and we aren’t in a Mormon state, and they seem to have dropped that belief sometime this century and drink regular soda now. In the age of LAN parties, I would drink caffeine free soda in the weeks prior in order for the caffeine to be more effective when I was drinking Bawls, which is the best energy drink for LAN parties. I don’t know if this actually worked. Caffeine free soda tastes terrible, though, so why do people drink it?

Does caffeine free soda actually taste different than other soda? Like, who drinks soda for the Real Caffeine Flavor? Or are you just saying soda tastes bad and there's no reason to drink it if you don't need your fix? I would probably drink caffeine free soda if it was conveniently available but a lot of stores don't bother carrying it and it's not important enough for me to pay attention to where I can actually buy it, so I just don't drink soda most of the time.

It does taste different. Worse if you aren't used to it I used to drink it because caffeine triggers acid reflux. But then I lost a lot of weight and don't have that problem anymore so I don't need to worry about caffeine either

Also Sprite and (non barqs) root beer are caffeine free so plenty of people drink that obviously

I drink cf Diet Pepsi because too much caffeine makes my heart go flippity-flops. I save my caffeine qutoa for morning coffee. It does taste a little different, but it's still artificially sweetened battery acid so in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal

I like to try out new Root Beers and Craft Sodas I happen upon. When it comes to carbonated beverages, I don't generally care if it's caffeinated or not, as long as it tastes good.

As mentioned, carbonated drinks that never used caffeine are plentiful, but I dont think i've ever been desperate enough to drink a non caffeine version of one that usually has caffeine; sort of defeats the purpose, like trying to jerk it to an ikea instruction manual for a shelf.

My dad always used to drink caffeine free Pepsi, I'm not sure why. I think he was under some misapprehension that it was easier on the kidney stones (he doesn't drink water). I'd have some sometimes, I never noticed a difference in taste. That said, I probably couldn't differentiate between Coke and Pepsi in a blind taste either.

I quit drinking a couple months back and wanted a substitute drink that wasn't as horrible for me so I've been trying various diet pops. Currently sipping on an ice cold caffeine free a&w root beer and I gotta say, it really loving sucks

I can't get caf free Coke Zero for close to a year now, probably to do with the ongoing crisis here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_invasion_of_the_Gaza_Strip Obviously my suffering is the worst and everyone else's doesn't count.

All the best flavours don't have any caffeine in them. Unless this one of those regional American things where soda specifically means cola?

I got COVID last year and had a Blood pressure spike, not dangerously high, but it's a thing that can happen. Went back to normal after a month. But to help keep my BP down during that time I cut out caffeine and switched to the free versions. I rapidly noticed two things. I couldn't tell the difference between my customary tea or soda and the caffeine free version. I was falling asleep way easier and quicker at night. So seeing no reason to go back, I haven't.

I did for a while when I thought my anxiety was linked heavily to my caffiene consumption. I was in denial and what it was actually linked too was my deep, deep alcoholism. I still drink Caffiene Free coffee (because I still don't like morning jitteriness from Coffee), but I happily drink Coke Zero throughout the day. Thanks for reading my blog!

I try to if I drink soda because if you drink caffeine all the time you're just building up resistance and becoming addicted to caffeine and that is bad.

I do because I'm old and caffeine makes me all jumpy. I don't drink soda but when I do there is usually rye mixed in so the caffeine will be make me feel even worse in the morning.

I like caffeine free Mtn Dew but it's hard to find around here. I only drink sparkling water and tea nowadays though. Sodas with any sugar are just too sweet and sweeteners like Stevia have a terrible aftertaste. A good cold root beer is good once in a while though.
