Coke Zero has improved the formula immensly. I don't taste that weird aftertaste the old one had anymore and it's very close to the classic one (better imo since it tastes less sweet). I just wish they used some natural sweetener rather than the usual Acel.K+ Aspartame combination almost all zero sugar drinks use.

[Soundtracks]

Coke Zero is definitely the best. It tastes the closest to regular coca-cola :) it’s really good

[DaFrancc]

I should point out that depending on where the soda comes from, it changes the taste. What I mean is plastic bottles, cans, glass bottles, fountain. Most people prefer glass or fountain with canned in 3rd and plastic last. This remains true for most people, but I think most people get canned cause it’s cheapest

I tried diet coke years ago and it made me not go near anything "diet." I decided to give sugar-free coke a try but didn't want to go for diet again. I bought zero and it was not as off putting as I thought. There is an small after taste, but I have dabbed in different sweeteners over the years that it's not unpleasant. I LOVE coke, but it's very unhealthy, so Coke ZERO is my new option.

[jamesangst]

The new Coke Zero sugar is amazing. The whole zero sugar line is fantastic.

[samconnecticut]

I agree that coke zero taste more like regular coke, but I like them both in certain circumstances. I find diet coke has a drier taste which I prefer when I'm thirsty on a hot day after building up a sweat. I prefer the sweeter taste of coke zero when not necessary thirsty, but just want something more tasty to drink with a meal, or not eating anything at all but just want to sip on something tasty. To put in a cola nut shell...diet coke for thirst, coke zero for taste.

My enjoyment of all of them change. Aluminum vs Plastic vs glass bottles from Mexico. Also size of bottle. Sometimes cans taste unpleasant other times fine. I think age and exposure to heat in container alters taste too.

[junmadrid]

I like both..I switch from one to the other to avoid being fed up with one flavor...

[Bear_Arms]

Ice cold Coke Zero tastes almost like the real thing. Diet Coke tastes like, I don't know what.

[vanceamania]

I personally like dt cold better. Ppl at work were telling me I was crazy saying there was a difference. Thank you for this video

[fitnessence]

I notice when I drink to much regular soda, I don’t feel right . I think it’s because of to much sugar intake. I haven’t had regular soda since and I felt better. I had a craving for soda grabbed a Coke Zero and it taste GREATTTT Doesn’t affect me at all! GREAT REVIEW♥️👍🏾

[shirlboyle]

Tastes much better in a can.. The cans get colder, plastic bottled sodas don’t get cold enough & warm quickly, plus they have a plastic taste at times.. Probably the chemicals interacting with the plastic & how it was stored. Coke 0 in a can ALL the way!!

[SuperT]

i'm not a regular coke drinker so since you said coke zero is supposed to be closer to the original taste, I actually prefer diet coke

[Bear_Arms]

BTW, Pepsi Zero is also good. I'm not sure which I like better, Coke Zero or Pepsi Zero. Don't drink either on an empty stomach, or they'll give you a slight tummy ache.

If you drink a normal amount of Coke, then Full Sugar Coke Classic is fine. If you “don’t like water” and drink this witch’s brew as your main “thirst quencher, ” you’re in agony and you don’t even know it.

I’ve been through it so I know, only I had a full sugar phase and a diet phase. But if you’ve never been a “fan” of plain water... you have no idea how bad you actually feel right now and how much better you could feel if you could just get over the hurdle of drinking water.

One week off the pop/soda and on the water (and plenty of it... but you don’t need to drown yourself, follow your thirst) and you will begin to feel rejuvenated. You’ll have less yellow, less stinky pisses, you’ll get fewer headaches and less brain fog, you’ll feel it in your skin. At least I did. You’ll feel the hydration. Especially if you’re switching from sugared pop. Sugar sucks the water straight out of you like alcohol.

Now, on to the artificial sweeteners. The FDA says they’re totally safe and benign... but aspartame, acesulfame-potassium, sucralose etc. are so foreign to human physiology that they pass straight through us without ever getting processed.

If you drink a few diet sodas and taste your urine, it’ll taste sweet. This fact revolutionized pee-pee fetish/watersports p0rn. The producers of this particular smut use this fact to their advantage. It’s easier for “adult film stars” to drink pee when it’s sweetened, one would imagine. I can say I have no experience with this till I’m blue in the face but no one will buy it. But I’ve heard stories from kinky couples who confirm the fact that these sweeteners “go right through you.”

Also, be aware that switching to “juice” is not an alternative to water. Juice is the soda industry’s greatest swindle. It’s Fanta without the bubbles.

A bottle of Tropicana Orange Juice has more sugar in it than an identical-sized bottle of Coke. The Vitamin C in it isn’t worth the sugar.

Humans weren’t meant to extract juice from fruits by the tanker truckload. Eat an orange or two, don’t drink that year old, perfumed with essence of orange “juice” anymore. Drink water and take a vitamin C tablet or eat an orange or some clementines for your vitamin C. You don’t need much of these things.

If you wouldn’t put it in your dog’s bowl, don’t pour it in your glass. By the way, I’m about to talk about how great tea and iced tea is as a substitute for soda. *Be warned: Tea is toxic to dogs!* They should never have any.

Tea contains theophylline, which is the chemical in dark chocolate that poisons dogs and the reason you’re told to never give chocolate to a dog.

Funnily enough, a whole bar of chocolate - as long as it’s _milk chocolate_ and not dark - is pretty dang safe to give to dogs since the amount of theophylline in there is negligible. I wouldn’t recommend it as a dietary choice for dogs but the theophylline is in the _cocoa mass, _ which is only present in a tiny ratio compared to the cocoa butter in milk chocolate. White chocolate has no cocoa mass and is made with only _cocoa butter_ and is, thus, safe for a dog to consume. Still probably not good for them, but not deadly. A single cup of tea on the other hand could be deadly to the dog.

I recommend highly switching to tea. Hot or iced. Home made (or you can buy unsweetened jugs of the iced tea) can modulate the sugar amount to your own liking without putting in way too much. It’s the acids in Cola and other sodas that make the 30-40 grams of sugar per serving even tolerable. If you just dumped 35g of sugar into water or even a coffee or tea, you’d hate it. It’s too sweet. They modulate the flavour with acids so you don’t realize how sweet it is. Sugar is the majorly addictive substance in Cola, NOT the caffeine!

And _not_ Sweet Tea! I don’t think I need to explain why. Great for a treat on a hot day, but like lemonade, it’s mostly sugar water.

Rant over.

Strange that they wouldn't go with one or the other. I'm currently drinking a coke zero and it tastes incredibly good. Cherry coke zero is also great!

[giftsstoregalore]

Coke 0 has a better taste idk what they changed but whatever the did it’s an improvement in my opinion

[valeriesanchez]

Love these when doing keto. Honestly tastes better than the sugar one.

[ilikehamburgerandsprite]

I just recently finally tried coke zero . I’ve been just drinking diet coke. Zero is definitely taste bettee
