Do you find diet sodas go flat really fast?

Don't drink soda. That shit is bad for you.

I think Pepsi and diet Pepsi both go flat sooner than Coke and diet coke. Switch to diet coke or coke zero.

Yes its because they have artificial sugar in them I think

Things are only fizzy because of a process called nucleation. The carbon dioxide is attracted to an impurity which then becomes a "seed" for a bubble (or, technically condensation nuclei).

And now I'm stuck because sugars are simple isomers and in no way large enough to act as condensation nuclei, so the absence of sugar doesn't imply the absence of fizz.

I don't know, OP. You've stumped me! And now I am going to obsess about this until I ask one of the Professors at work.

Soda goes flat for me after 3 or 4 sips.. haha. I HATE diet soda it has the worst after taste....and taste for that matter.

It's probably the artificial sweeteners. Drink organic sodas like Zevia or Oogave.

I have found that I hate it why is that ?

Diet soda is so gross. Poor diabetics.
