I got the chance to try Dr Pepper Zero Sugar (specifically the Dr Pepper Cream Soda Zero Sugar) the other day and was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful it was and its calorie count. We never have soda in the house so this was quite the treat to sip on after working in the garden pulling weeds. The only time I've had diet soda prior to this was the diet Pepsi and diet coke my friend's parents kept stocked in the fridge along with whole milk. Whenever I ate dinner at her place we would have to drink a glass of milk with dinner before we could grab a can of soda.
