For Those Who Hate Aspartame

So coke finally figured out that people who hate aspartame might still like lime, and made regular coke with lime. I don't really understand why its taken them over a year to figure this out. What is with the whole soft drink trend of only introducing new flavors in diet form? The new dr. pepper that's diet cherry vanilla? Like whoa. Try unleashing those one at a time. What the heck would cherry vanilla dr. pepper taste like anyway?? Would it still be dr. pepper flavored? Cause you can make a dr. pepper flavored jelly bean, its enough of its own flavor. I'm not positive this doesn't exist, but I'm imagining you couldn't really make a coke flavored jelly bean, it's not really its own flavor. Add cherry syrup to it, add vanilla syrup to it, they've been doing that since the fifties. Adding both? Maaaybe. But cherry vanilla dr. pepper? And diet at that. I'd try it, but I'm in the category of those who hate aspartame, so I'm already guaranteed to hate it.
Sidenote: who else tried that Holiday Spice Pepsi? It sounded so nasty, but I had to try it. It was surprisingly ungross, but i don't know that i would've thought that if i hadn't been expecting it to be super gross.
