Those have been my two favorite sodas for decades. Coca-Cola cherry and Dr Pepper. Both I think I had the first time at the end of the 90’s when I went back to Poland on vacation to visit relatives. Now there are also those zero sugar variants.

I feel like an old man yelling at the clouds whenever I bring this up, but I’m still salty about the switch from “Coke Zero” to “Coke Zero Sugar”.
The OG Coke Zero was noticeably less sweet and had a bit more of an acid/carbonation bite that seemed to hit the exact right buttons for me–pretty much the epitome of what an ice cold cola should taste like. Coke Zero Sugar replaced it in I think '17 or '18 (in the US at least), and while it does taste more like full sugar Coke, it’s too sweet. It’s not as bad as Diet Coke, but it’s not-good enough that I rarely buy it anymore. (Probably ultimately for the better)
Anyone else, or am I just one of those weirdos who would have actually preferred New Coke back in the day?
