Not as bad as the reduced-sugar sweetened sodas, but has a rough aftertaste; confusing recipe change.
Russ calls out Kirks adding sweetener with the same calories and sugar, plus a switch back to artificial colours, questioning whether it's cost cutting or shelf life. Tasting the pink Creaming Soda can, he says it's not as ruined as Pepsi/Mountain Dew's sweetened versions thanks to the sugar, but notes a rough aftertaste and warns about sweetener migraines.
