I don't like stevia. Everything I've had that uses it has a nasty "artificial sweetener" ness. I saw some cola flavored sparkling water at my store and had to get it because I love cola but don't really drink soda. I've been dying to try cola flavored sparkling forever but it's not sold around here, so I snatched it soon as I saw it. But it's got stevia in it, so it tastes like diet cola. I would much rather it not be sweetened with anything at all; it's been ruined. I'll still drink it, but it will always have the bitter aftertaste of disappointment.
