Hey, Resonance18! Welcome to Psych Central! I used to be a really big soft drink drinker, and I think I could even now pass taste tests about different brands and versions. But stomach ailments have forced me to cut back.
I have tried coke zero and didn't like it. I prefer Diet Coke and that's my cola of choice now. I have noticed it has a bigger head of fizz than other colas, and the same might be true of coke zero. I even like to dip my finger in the fizz and suck on it. So, I can understand what you are saying about the feeling.
And I haven't found any other drinks that measure up!
I haven't considered my problem as an addiction, since I can go days without any soda at all. I think that's the key to addiction.
Cheers!
