  • You know what really grinds my gears?

    Region-specific bonus tracks that are literally not available on any streaming service in an official capacity; the only place I can find them are on YouTube - where they could get DMCA’ed at a moment’s notice…

    Two tracks off the top of my head like this are:

    1. Don’t Tell Me It’s Over by Blink 182, from Take Off Your Pants & Jacket
    2. Subject to Change by Sum 41, from Chuck


  • It really is a spectrum, you’re right - some products definitely taste worse than others.

    Pepsi Max tends to taste better because it uses a combination of Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) and aspartame (ie. Equal), whereas Coke/Fanta tends to just use aspartame.

    I personally find erythritol to be the most neutral flavour-wise, and without that laxative effect in the event of over-consumption.

    Stevia definitely has a herbal after-taste that not everyone finds pleasant, but it can/does have its place at times.

    Maltitol on the other hand, is the tool of the devil - and I would only wish it upon my worst enemies.
