Its strange...it tastes like regular coke...how in tarnation do they do that without sugar or an artificial sweetner taste?
Anybody try Coca Cola Zero?
- Thread starter dh girlie
- Start date
Does it have caffeine?

I thought diet coke with splenda tasted like coke and diet coke zero was the old diet coke. Meh, I don't know. Ask SkrdShthd. He knows everything, but will tell you he hasn't tried it.

Some guy was handing it out on the streets of Manhattan yesterday (Apprentice style)... Tasted like the coke syrup my mom gave me as a kid when I felt sicky...

The drink will be sweetened partly with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium. Aspartame is a key ingredient in Diet Coke, but a spokesman for the Atlanta-based company said Coca-Cola Zero will have a unique taste.
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are correct. A co-worker had one the other day. Said it tasted like Diet Coke. (i.e., chemical taste).loco said:
-Please excuse the following rant, Coke's business practices piss me off:
This is another example of why Coke's performance has been flat for the past few years. Let's see, we have Regular old Coke...Mmmm, strong consumer loaylty and still the leader in the carbonated beverage industry & Diet Coke leading the diet segment. Ok, Let's launch C2...What the hell? It flopped? Sure, it tastes like regular Coke, but if regular Coke drinkers cared about calories they would go diet...Oh, here we go again: Coke Zero! But wait, if we take all the calories out then we will rob customers form both the Coke and diet Coke segments and overall sales will remain flat. We are robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Coca-Cola's shareholders needs to oust the current geriatric board and get some people in there receptive to fresh thinking. For the past few years Coke has been content to sit on their collectives asses and be an imitator in the beverage industry. Just look at the recent growth in energy drinks...Pepsi was on top of things as were numerous smaller comanies. Coke has only recently responded with cheese-ball products such as "Full Throttle". What a bunch of wankers.
Bottom line, until Coke begins to get creative and launch some genuinely new & unique products instead of poor variations of the current line, they are going to remain as flat as old Sprite.

Yes...pretty cool lookin can too...Echo said:
I don't know anything about any of it.loco said:
I *do* know that it all sucks except classic Coke.
I prefer the taste of water but it does little for my caffeine habit.
Diet Sprite is pretty good and goes well with flavored Stoli vodka.
LOLloco said:
The reason it tastes more like real coke is because Diet Coke has always been based on the New Coke formula while Coca-Cola Zero is based on the Coca-Cola Classic recipe.

Well being that I am addicted to Diet Coke and have been for years, I will have to say that this is not correct...The Coke Zero tastes distinctly different from Diet Coke...I have not had any Diet Coke with Splenda yet...haven't been able to find it. Coke Zero does not have Splenda...I consider myself an expert on this since I have at least one diet coke a day.

Ah, ok...that makes sense. That must be why I was whisked back to my pre-diabetic days when I would enjoy a regular classic coke. You could blindfold me and give me 100 different random tests between the diet coke and the coke zero and I guarantee that I will have a 100% correct guess rate.
It's got aspartame & Ace-K (acesulfame potassium).dh girlie said:
Ace-K has been pretty good in everything I've tried it in - no aftertaste. It also seems to synergize into a very sugar-like taste when combined with aspartame.
I have some ace-K here in the lab in pure form, and at the concentrations that you would use in food - tastes pretty good without too much chemical or off taste.
Should be available in packets witin the year.
It soooo reminded me of back in the day when I could drink regular coke...and it's nice cuz it really ISN'T sugary sweet...Mackie said:
addicted to diet coke as well.coke zero just taste too damn weird...
see i though diet coke with splenda tasted very similar to reg coke. I am sure in a mixed drink you couldnt tell the difference between the two. Havent tried the zero yet, i still like the diet cherry and diet lime myself.
I wonder if it's any better as a brake enhancer for BMX.

Look who is talking though.
coke tastes like flat pepsi,
diet coke tastes like really old flat pepsi,
any diet pop is probably worse for you than the regular, and tastes gross
and all pop will rot your teeth
so in sumation, coke sucks, pepsi is better, and pop will kill you
oh, and if you get any of that "cancer" stuff they warn you about, just get yourself a bowl of broccoli, clear that right up

I am proud to say I havn't had one soda/cola in over 2 years.
