Oh no. Warmed-up soda is good actually.

I had to drink diet pepsi at lunch because the diet coke was out. I don't usually like diet pepsi much at all but I was thirsty and needed caffiene.

As is my way I drank too many cups and started getting the chills.

As I was heading back to my desk with the last cup, thinking I would get a hot drink to warm back up, I saw the microwave and had a Horrible Idea.

And it was… good? Like, would drink again!

I am no longer chilly, but I am very confused. XD

@indi I prefer it slightly flat when I drink it warm; otherwise the carbonation tends to be a bit much and it tastes unpleasantly acidic to me.

That said, I've been telling people warm soda is good for years but most people think I'm a mutant. *grin*

@literorrery Hm! I wonder if the acidity worked in its favor in this case? Ordinarily I don't like Diet Pepsi because it tastes too sweet to me.

@emanate The great thing is that the whole general 'brown drink' sort of sodas are basically mulled already. Mulling is just a mix of a lot of the same spices. It's like drinking just the mull. :9
