Can Versus Fountain???

I’m having a diet soda dilemma: can or fountain? Let me explain. I usually prefer the canned diet soda but lately I’ve been gravitating more towards the fountain sodas. Why? The gas station across the street from my apartment has the best ice! Who knew ice could make a vast difference in my diet soda preference? Chick-fil-A and the Great American Cookie Company are two establishments that have got some great ice.

Another possibility, as I noted in a previous entry, different low-calorie sweeteners are used in cans versus soda fountain:

“Aspartame is used in most canned drinks, while a blend of sweeteners is used in most fountain varieties. Something about how the sweeteners' properties react with the storage of the different versions. Perhaps the poster prefers the taste of aspartame in their drinks vs. the taste of the other blends.”

Any thoughts on this matter?
