I've never seen either one, but I bet they taste great.
Unfortunately, both real sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are poisons.

I hate how they've rebranded Mountain Dew as the incredibly boneheaded "MTN DEW".
When "Mtn Dew" came out, my friend was all confused and thought it was some cheap ripoff brand, and bought the bottles that still said "Mountain" instead =D
I'd probably be more pissed off if I actually liked the stuff. The good flavors still say "Mountain", but I try to avoid caffeine as much as possible.

Are you suggesting that artificial sweeteners are not poisons?

No. I know from personal experience that Splenda (Sucralose) causes diarrhea. I really need sweet beverages, so I drink only those sweetened with Aspartame.
I wish they'd allow cyclamates again... they're very safe, but were killed by the sugar industry, which was losing market share to the new wonder sweetener. All that was proven was that massive doses caused cancer in lab rats. If I remember it right, the equivalent dose for a human would be 200 gallons of soda every day.

Sugar is less processed and more natural than HFCS. Still not exactly good for you but much better than HFCS.

lolwut? If God didn't want man to eat sugar, he wouldn't have made it taste so good. He just didn't want you chugging six liters of coke a day.

I can't eat that stuff @_@
Not only does it have a metallic taste, but it gives me nasty headaches, even in small doses
