They taste like crap.

The after-taste is shit.

Overall, pretty horrible.

I am of the philosophy that if you're going to drink soft drinks then you might as well go all the way, because if you're going to drink that horrible sugar-free caffine-free diet bullshit then you might as well drink water and save yourself the teeth stains. Water tastes considerably better.

It's the same thing with Gatorade (or other energy drinks), either drink something with sugar in it, or drink water. Don't settle for the middle of the road, because guess what, the middle of the road tastes like shit.

 You think all artificially sweetned drinks taste like crap? I am rather opposite. I actually prefer coke zero over normal coke.

Also, I don't drink energy drinks, but I believe the reason people drink them, is that they contain proteins/calories and such. Drinking is far easier than to have a bite of something, and that is the reason why people chose so.

Personally though, I'm with you there - I'll rather have a banana and some water.

Yeah, but they have ones with sugar in them don't they? Which is my point, why drink the ones that have the nasty sweeteners when you can enjoy the sweet, sweet deliciousness of sugar.
