8 Diet Coke Alternatives, Reviewed For Quality and Taste

Favorite Day Kickin' Cola Soda (6 pack) ($6)

Favorite Day is yet another Target brand offering a Diet Coke alternative. In my opinion, it comes in the cutest packaging of the bunch, but it's overly sweet (and I love sweet drinks!). There's a slight chemical-like aftertaste that often comes with most sugar-free sweeteners, which can likely be traced back to the stevia leaf extract and natural flavors that comprise this ingredient list. There are zero calories in this option, but 40 milligrams of sodium and 37 milligrams of caffeine per can. The Favorite Day slogan is "A little bliss in every sip. Guaranteed to be a favorite or your money back," so there's no harm in trying to prove me wrong with this one! Different strokes . . . as they say.
