Fountain sodas vs. bottled/canned

Does anyone know what the difference is between the fountain diet sodas and those in the can/bottle. I have no problem with drinking those in the can/bottle, but I just cannot stomach diet soda from a soda fountain. To me, it has an awful bitterness and after-taste, and just can't tolerate the stuff. I usually drink water in restaurants; however, I keep a couple of packs of canned soda in the car and take a can in with me when I can't stomach water anymore. Are the sweetners used in fountain sodas different?
