"As of 2025, Diet Coke reigns as the number one diet soda in the U.S., which doesn't surprise me at all. I will check and see if restaurants have Coke or Pepsi before I go. I'm that picky. And I'm not the only fan! Diet Coke ranks fifth among all top-selling sodas in general, coming in after regular Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, Sprite, and Pepsi, in that order. And there are a lot of sodas out there!"
"There are over 2,500 Aldi locations scattered through 39 states in the U.S. So, the availability is somewhat accessible, although not as widely distributed as Diet Coke. As far as Diet Coke goes, at my local Kroger, there is always a BOGO sale going on, so I always stock up. The week I purchased these sodas, it was a buy two, get three free weekend sale."
Diet Coke holds the top spot among diet sodas in the U.S. and ranks fifth among all top-selling sodas behind Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, Sprite, and Pepsi. A rumor that Aldi's Summit Diet Cola tastes better and costs less prompted a direct comparison. A head-to-head taste test was conducted with both 12-packs chilled for 24 hours. Summit Diet Cola retailed for $4.69 per 12-pack at Aldi, while a Kroger sale made a Diet Coke 12-pack effectively $4.39. Aldi operates over 2,500 locations in 39 states, while Kroger serves 16 states and territories.
