Secret Truth
No one will admit it, but I would venture to guess that a lot of women prefers real soda to diet soda. To an even greater degree, we prefer real Snapple to diet Snapple. I know this to be true. I have no evidence except the obvious deliciousness disparity. Diet Snapple tastes like Kool-Aid made with Splenda. It's artificially fruity swill. If we hadn't spent the better part of our lives with some sort of weight loss initiative, buying the diet product might not be hard-wired into our brain with such intensity. Cranberry-Raspberry is particularly heinous. It reminds me of a calorieless version of a store-brand Crystal Light I once bought at Wal-Mart.

You totes just spilled the secret. Since the age of 14 when I learned about calories in health class and simultaneously grew hips, I have mentally trained myself to opt for diet soda in all situations. This is completely of my own doing since I grew up with a family that buttered their cheese and never drank "diet" anything.
Also, I completely agree with your Snapple analysis. Even with a mild addiction to diet coke (1x a day, at least) I have yet to be able to swallow diet snapple without scrunching up my face in disgust.
