Diet Coke vs Coke Zero.

Post by Bsuds »

I had read that there is no difference between the 2 but after trying Coke Zero I would disagree.

I must have read the article wrong because Coke Zero has a horrible taste in my opinion!

I would drink Diet Pepsi before ever drinking Coke Zero again.

We will donate the flat of Zero we bought at Costco to the Food Bank. We only tried it because there was no Diet coke the day we were shopping at Costco.
I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!

I’ve tried all of sugar free version of Coke and Pepsi, didn’t like any of them. So I tried diet Dr. Pepper and A&W diet Root Beer, found 2 winners for myself.

I think we will donate this flat of Coke Zero to the food bank. Just can't drink it.

I would do the same if I couldn’t return it. And it doesn’t even come close to the original coke either.

Worst I tasted was Tab with no sweetener. Only diet drink on the market as all pulled out to change the sweetener to aspartame. I added a sweetener and it exploded. What a mess. Waited for Fresca to come back on the market. When Diet Coke came back that’s my usual choice.

Grapefruit Fresca is good, just can’t have any to close to taking medication (before or after). It’s grapefruit thing with most medications.

You’ve mentioned a couple I haven’t had in so long - Dr. Pepper and grapefruit Fresca. I don’t have any pop in the house now and I want one. Darn it.

I’ve noticed most of 7-11 and On the Run Chevron’s carry diet Dr. Pepper, if this helps out at all.

Diet drinks are about the most unhealthy thing you can buy, and that's based on a lot of articles I've read from doctors and such.

Worse than chips? I really don't care if it's the most unhealthiest thing you can buy but I'm sure cigarettes and alcohol are close candidates. So what's your preference? Diet coke or Coke Zero?

It’s a shame manufacturers have to put so much sugar into non-diet version of their product.

Almost 10 tsp of sugar in a can of regular coke - isn't that gross.
