I sent an e-mail to coke and did get a response which was only a justification for their decision. The machines in restaurants already reflect this change. Is there anyone else who liked the diet lime?
I'm sorry this thread has gone off-topic with people berating the use of diet sodas. Has nothing to do with what you asked.

I wonder if you could squeeze lime into your can of diet coke and get a similar result?

I get a hankering for carbonation if I haven't had it in a week or so. I'm not going to drink sugared pop, so diet root beer it is, a few times a week. If they take IBC off the shelves, I'm sunk.

I hope you find a suitable alternative. I hate it when something you love is pulled from the shelves. My Kraft fat-free mayo disappeared from all the grocery stores around here a couple years ago, and now I have to mail-order it. Same thing with Equal Exchange coffee that Winn Dixie used to carry (my favorite coffee).
