Coca Cola Zero
I am not a big fan of diet drinks but I have them every now and then to help ease the guilt, like when I am having the 2,400 calorie spaghetti and meatballs at Macaroni Grill, I feel more comfortable eating it when I am drinking a diet coke. The problem with Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi is that they taste like crap. I tried Pepsi Max when that came out and I also really hated it since it tasted worse than the diet versions. A week ago though I decided to try Coca Cola Zero since it looked cool and now its the only Coke I’ve been drinking. I don’t know what the advantages are, I don’t know how many callories it has or whatever, I just know it has no sugar and that has to be better than the regular coke. Now best part is that it tastes like the regular coke if not better. They might as well have replaced the regular coke with zero and I doubt anyone would have noticed.

I totally agree with you.
I tried Coca Cola Zero over a month ago, and have been hooked on it ever since. A great coke.

I’m actually having a glass of it right now haha. I don’t really like soda, but I had some Coke Zero left over from a party I threw a week ago…it’s pretty good!
Just for the record, though, it’s Pepsi or bust.

All the diet drinks out there contain the artificial sweetener aspartame that has been the subject of vigorous public controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances around its approval. Many studies have recommended further investigation into the possible connection between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma.These findings, combined with alleged conflicts of interest in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame.

15. Yazeed | June 13th, 2008 at 2:52 am
back when i was in the US they ran ads all over saying that coke zero tasted like normal coke, bunch of crap, it tastes closer to diet coke,
try diet coke and coke zero at the same time
16. mocman | June 13th, 2008 at 3:03 am

17. Mr.pedro | June 13th, 2008 at 3:36 am
tried it once when i ordered from Mc.D. and yeah it taste better than the original Coke i agree with you mark ;)
18. Shoxin | June 13th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Yup, tastes better than the normal coke… I don’t know but they’ve (zero and diet coke) always tasted ’sweeter’ in my opinion <.<
Though I don’t drink it because of the 0 calories thing (which I honestly don’t believe is true).
Despite all that, my drink of choice remains, and always will remain Mountain Dew =)

i hate the after taste of any diet or zero calorie soda. i swear at first you have this nice cold drink at the spur of the moment then half an hour later you hve this lingering taste that can’t be washed out with toothpaste or mouthwash. and by the way………….PEPSI NO. 1!
20. Damon Dash | June 14th, 2008 at 3:59 am
it tastes better than the diet but not as good as the regular coke , i can still tell it’s a diet soda it still has that artificial sugar after taste which sucks
21. AMQ | June 14th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
well in the US coke zero has 0 calories. . . . so yeah . . . thats what makes it so special. :)
22. Holla | June 14th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
zero tastes less sweet than both regular and diet coke. it’s fucking great.
23. A.f | June 15th, 2008 at 1:19 am
I LOVE ZERO, bas THE original is so much better, SUltan used to get it. Diet coke is more addictive than the regular.
24. Aliman | June 15th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Im dying to Try PEPSI RAW
read about it in i-D and it looks really interesting, i think that would be my choice if anyone could get it so we could try it!
25. rob | July 1st, 2008 at 5:30 pm
just tried it last week and the taste was alright, but one thing noticeable that there wasn’t as much air, zing, whatever you call it that the original Coke used to have.
Then again even the ‘regular’ coke nowadays has less air than, say, 10 years ago
26. AMQ | July 1st, 2008 at 9:50 pm
does anyone get the aftertaste?
