Diet Coke uses more aspartame, which tastes a bit lighter. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar uses aspartame too, but combines it with acesulfame potassium, creating a more robust flavor that's closer to actual sugar.

"Zero" sodas try to more accurately mimic the flavor of the original. "Diet" sodas have their own unique flavor.

Diet Coke doesn't taste like Coke, so they released Coke Zero, which tastes more like Coke, but is still sugar free. I also heard they struggled to get men to buy diet coke as it had been marketed to women for years, so it was a fresh start for their marketing department.

Coke Zero tastes three times better. On ice in a glass it's amazingly close to real coke, while DC still retains that metallic taste. And, jeebus, out of the can, I find Diet Coke virtually undrinkable.

Oddly I notice much less of a difference between diet Dr Pepper and Dr Pepper zero than between Diet Coke and Coke Zero. When the grocery store has multiple-buys-necessary sales, I will often get both of them among the selection. I probably couldn’t tell you which was which if you gave me a taste test.

Strangely enough I love diet coke but loathe coke zero.

But I hate Pepsi but enjoy Pepsi zero.

Does it taste better without Stevia?

I hope that's true. I've still been finding some pre stevia formula cans on the shelf (with closer expiration dates) and the fresher ones that I got around christmas still had stevia. It seems very hit/miss at the moment.

Stevia is a bit toxic for the intestine. May somebody is finally getting aware of this?

I dont even drink coke or zero sugar and know this because I heard bitching

ngl, i appreciate this type of bitching. The second they change an ingredient some of yall mofos know and that isnt an issue

Lydia is gonna be so mad.

Coke Zero uses the artificial sweetener "Ace K" (acesulfame potassium) and Diet Coke does not. They both use Aspartame as well.

I think flavour wise, Coke Zero is supposed to be closer to regular Coke while Diet Coke is much more distinct.

Diet Coke was re-formulated in the mid 80s to match the taste of New Coke, but people actually liked the new Diet Coke formula, so they kept it the same after shifting the main product to Coca-Cola "Classic." Coke Zero is formulated to match the taste of the current Coca-Cola Classic/"Original Taste."

Diet tastes sweeter. Zero tastes sharper.

Always thought it was close to the New Coke formula.

Coke Zero tastes better

Coke Zero has been around a lot earlier than 2009. I can remember drinking it in white cans back in 2005 or 2006

As a long-time, bitterly (no pun intended) disappointed Tab drinker here, I can tell you neither comes close (of course, that is just my opinion). Diet Coke is a bit "sharper" than Zero sugar, which seems to have a more "lemony" taste. Regardless, their flavor is quite different.

Funny thing is I was at my dance studio and they were serving both and my instructor asked me how I could possibly taste a difference. Blind I could tell the difference, literally, five out of five times and I could have gone on forever. Funny thing is, the new Diet Pepsi (caffeinated) is about the closest to Tab I've found, though still nothing like it. :(

Interesting. I don’t like Coke but vastly prefer Coke Zero to Diet Coke. Don’t drink it often, but every once in a while with a pizza or something I indulge

There is no cocaine in our soft drinks

Fanta uses a more original formula because fanta was invented here.

I moved here from England 4 years ago, and I drink at least 2 litres of the stuff every day. I never touched it before. I'm so happy to find somebody else killing themselves slowly (or maybe quickly, who knows) with aspartame. See you on the other side, brother.

LOL, nope, they don't.

Just wait until you've tried mixing Fanta & Coke Zero.

I like the new formula a lot better. It has more of a taste. The old Coke Zero tasted like flavored water. I don’t notice a lack a carbonation, but probably because Pepsi zero was my go to before the new Coke zero. Favorite sugar free soda now. People don’t like the new one because humans don’t like change. If they secretly changed it, no one would complain

I know this is an unpopular opinion and will likely get me downvoted, but I've really been enjoying the new formula. To me, it tastes closest to Coke Classic and leaves no aftertaste.

I actually thought it tasted the closest to regular its ever been. No aftertaste at all. But, I like the taste of diet sodas. I prefer Pepsi Zero Sugar for a more traditional "zero" taste.

I like the old formula better.

I haven't actually tried it, but I've noticed a few people commenting on how it's different.

O gosto é terrível. Não é o mesmo sabor nem a pau.

Ano passado decidi cortar refrigerante única e exclusivamente pq não tolero a Zero. Ia parar a original, decidi parar tudo. Melhor não beber refrigerante a beber Zero.

Esse Coca-Cola Zero não tem açúcar, gordura, nem carboidratos

Ai que sensação ruim

Mal muda? A coca zero tem um gosto muito pior que a normal

Quando eu tomo essa Coca, sinto sabor de morte com retrogosto de tristeza.

O sabor é beeeem diferente.

E ela já é bem padrão. Vc sempre acha Coca-Zero.

Já os outros refrigerantes zero... as vezes tem, as vezes nao tem...

Um refri bom que é zero é Pepsi Twist. E já é o padrão. Não existe Pepsi Twist zero pq a normal ja é zero.

is this worth buying

I like it also

I liked it

So good

No it’s all a lie https://abcnews.go.com/amp/GMA/Food/dr-pepper-zero-soda-recalled-full-sugar/story?id=122770947

Well it might technically be zero calories but anyone serious about weight loss knows that artificial sweeteners will cause you to immediately crave sugar and binge. Even after thinning about having one I would fast for a month to counteract the cravings.

One can of diet coke has around 1 kcal. To be on the safe side, I'd say it fully covers the daily limit of 1200.

Did you mean to post this is in the r/1200isjerky sub????

Edit: omg I'm stupid

Sweaty, it's a diet coke. As in, you have to diet if you drink it. You might be ok if you just sniff it but don't inhale!!! Inhaled calories count more than triple, so you might as well get a triple bypass.

Colas and some of the other sodas contain phosphoric acid, which can lleach calcium from your system.

The gotcha is that fake sugar disrupts the bacteria in your gut so badly that it’s healthier (defining healthy as attempting to have your body function as best as possible, not necessarily for losing weight, though what I am saying may be true for weight loss too) to just have full sugared soda than diet sodas.

Maybe the long term affects that aspartame may have on the human body, Nothing beats the real deal….. sooo yolo

LeCroix

Have a beer instead.
