    Default Silly question re: diet soda at fast food joints

    Why is it you can't find a clear diet soda at most fast food places? I.e., Diet 7-Up, Sprite Zero, Diet Sierra Mist, etc.? I used to be able to get Diet 7-Up at two places I knew of...one Carl's Jr. near where I live, and one Carl's Jr. in Las Vegas two or three blocks up the Strip from the Sahara. Both quit offering Diet 7-Up quite a long while ago, iirc. I doubt it's available in SCs or hotel bars either, even if they have the sugar water variety for a 7&7. Just not enough demand?

    they must just not have been used often enough to justify keeping them around. you know big fast food places keep track of crap like that to the minutiae, i.e. how many ketchup packets to give out

    Probably supply and demand. Not many people care about clear diet sodas when they can get the diet brown sodas. I know my work has cans of diet clear soda though.

    Most likely. My retail store sells soda (bottled) and when we DO stock diet clear sodas, it's rare to see more than 1-2 gone every time we need to do a soda order. IN fact, what we sell out of most is Coke, then Pibb, then Cherry Coke, then Diet Coke, then Water, then Sprite.
