Edit: I also probably dislike the taste of diet sodas/artificial sweetners more than the average person.

I did too, but when I went on a diet a few years ago, I gave up sugar cold turkey. I went about 3 weeks drinking only water because anything "diet" was just nasty. I then tried a diet soda and it wasn't all that bad. It's like I forgot what a regular soda tased like. Eventually, after a couple weeks of drinking diet soda, I got used to it and really liked it.
I now can't drink a regular soda. It tastes like dog crap to me. I still don't like Splenda or Saccharin, but I can drink anything with Aspartame and really enjoy it.
I don't drink much soda anymore. I probably average a can a day when I probably used to drink 6 or so a day. I drink a lot of iced tea and kool-aid and I make both with Aspartame.
