I have a new love in the soda world. I’m so so sorry, Diet Rite Tangerine. You were so good to me for so long. In you, I finally found a soda that I could really love. That I could drink every day and not get tired of. It was crisp and had a good flavor, yet no super-sweet aftertaste that I can’t STAND in other sodas. And unlike most diet sodas, it didn’t have aspartame which I abhor. It had no sugar, no calories, no caffeine… It was perfect.
But today, I found a new love. Slice “One” Grape. No because I’m particularly fond of the Pepsi corporation (believe me, I’m actually kind of ashamed). But simply because it’s “grape”. Oh, Diet Rite. If you had only offered a grape flavor! But all there was was the Red Raspberry, which I never cared for, or the Strawberry-Kiwi, which I objected to because I have kiwi issues and cola. Of course, you offer other flavors, such as Golden Peach, Black Cherry and…. White Grape. Me? I’ve never laid eyes on any of these flavors sad to say. For I’m sure I would have adored “White Grape”. Heck, maybe even “Black Cherry”. But Tangerine was my best bet and it was mighty tasty.
But Slice “One” seemed to offer what I wanted. And folks? It’s fantastic. All I could have dreamed of and more. The crisp, non-aftertaste sensation I like and the grape flavor I *love*.
I love Diet Rite. But it just can’t compete with grape. I am a grape fiend.

I’m going to have to try that too, I like grape. I’m thinking you may like it even more because of the pregnancy hormones, lol. With my last pregnancy I drank Strawberry Soda all the time. Haven’t drank it since though and I like it, just haven’t wanted it.
Wow, that was a boring comment

Well, I’ve always been particularly fond of grape soda; pregnant or not. So I think this one will probably last. And I’ve been drinking diet rite for a couple years now, even when not pregnant.
I feel Slice “ONE” Grape is here to stay!

EEEEK!! OMG!!! Where did you get that???? I have loved Welch’s Grape Soda since I was a child but never drink it because it’s so full of sugar. I actually did give in to a craving for it about a month ago and bought a single 20 oz bottle that I nursed on for a week. Everytime we go to the grocery store, I tisk about how there’s no diet grape soda. WOW!

*drool* grape soda *drool*
I got some diet orange soda last week and it was a huge disappointment. Just didn’t have, I dunno, that intense surgary aftertaste that I craved! LOL This Slice One Grape sounds DEEEELICIOUS! It makes me almost want to go back to Walmart to find some! I’ll keep looking for it at my grocery store instead.
