Diet soda drinks
Diet sodas (also diet pop, diet, sugar-free, or light soft drinks, refreshments, or carbonated beverages) are typically sugar-free,artificially sweetened and non-alcoholic carbonated beverages. They are generally marketed toward health-conscious people, diabetics,athletes, and other people who want to lose weight, improve physical fitness, or reduce their sugar intake.The beginning of the diet soda or refreshment era was in 1952, when Kirsch Bottling in Brooklyn, New York launched a sugar-free ginger ale called No-Cal.[1] It was designed for diabetics, not dieters, and distribution remained local. Royal Crown Cola placed an announcement in an Atlanta newspaper in 1958 announcing a diet soda product, Diet Rite. In 1962, Dr Pepper released a diet(etic) version of its soda, although it sold slowly due to the misconception that it was meant solely for diabetic consumption. In 1963, theCoca-Cola Company joined the diet soda market with Tab, which proved to be a huge success. Tab was originally sweetened withcyclamates and saccharin.
