coke zero

[zygon]

Is the new Coke 'zero' any different to 'diet' Coke?

[bug123]

I don't think so. The 'zero' has one slightly different ingredient in it to to the 'diet', but essentially they are the same drink (ie low calorie). I believe the reasoning behind the 'zero' drink is for the male market - diet drinks being a bit too 'girly' for big macho men!! :o)

definately different taste tho'- I've drunk Diet Coke for years and tried Coke Zero expecting it to taste the same or not as nice. I now unexpectedly prefer Coke Zero.

coke zero is awful!!! i drink diet coke like water and i tried coke zero and hated it. it tastes like full fat coke to me which i dont like, but i'm sure loads do!!

It is the equivalent of Pepsi Max, i.e. a diet drink for boys.

I don't really drink coke anyway, when I do I drink diet coke, and zero tastes like real coke with something missing to me.

Isnt is supposed to have no carbs as well?

Natalie - Pepsi Max is very different to Diet Pepsi, which tastes a little citrussy.

I think Coke Zero is supposed to be the same thing as Pepsi Max, I like Pepsi Max and don't find it citrussy - unless it's the one with lemon/ lime in it!!

I have tried Zero and while it seems to be better than diet, I still get an aftertaste of sacherine. I am afraid I love the full fat version which is why I don't drink too much!

I thought the idea was it was diet coke, that tasted like real coke? I haven't tried it yet though.

Judging by the advertising though, I would say they are aiming it at the male market as mentioned above.

Diet Pepsi is the way forward forget about Coke.
