I concur. ish. Unflavored for me. But then I don't like and soda/pop other than diet coke, and you can always add flavor of the moment to them. My favorite post-run refreshment (if it's too early for beer) is fresh OJ topped up with a plain seltzer. Tastes like Orangina works with any fruit juice and pretty sure you can extrapolate. ( Dr Pee, though ...bleugh )

But anyhoo, I'm a diet coke freak (before beer time) but if I ever feel that habit is getting a bit OTT, I just sub in a plain seltzer. I find it's easier to get used to something totally different but with some of the essential elements than to a poor substitute (and in this case better for you) I couldn't find any decent substitute for British pub bitter when I moved here, so I switched completely to American lager so I wouldn't be continually disappointed by it not being exactly what I was after. worked. mostly.
