I can guarantee it does NOT taste exactly like Diet Coke.

I don't think it tastes exactly like Coke, but I can drink it as opposed to Diet Coke which I hate...

To someone who hates coke, but prefers diet if drinking it, it tastes like real coke - so I hate it. My other half who loves coke also loves coke zero.

I hate coke, love diet coke.

Coke Zero tastes exactly like Coke Light, the existance of which I've never understood. It's icky.

I like the taste of Diet Coke - it's coke without the "My teeth are covered with sugar!" aftertaste :P.

[laserboy.livejournal.com]

That's exactly it. I was struggling for a description. :)

It tastes more like diet coke then regular coke, to me.

However it lacks part of the aftertaste that diet coke has. Coca-cola has a really distinctive taste... Diet coca-cola tastes slightly more like pepsi. Coca-cola Zero tastes like diet coke, IMHO, but without the pepsi undertones.

The only thing Coke is good for is cleaning toilets. Nothing can beat the hit you get from soda water straight from the fridge!

Sugar

[wordofblake.livejournal.com]

Why is it always such a big deal to have no sugar? Coke Zero is hyping it, as dod Pepsi max.

So there's no sugar, no downside?

Is it full of sweeteners and additives? Probably but dont worry, there's no sugar.

Re: Sugar

Sugar makes you fat, increases your chances of getting diabetes and is generally over-added to things nowadays (added sugar is a fairly recent thing for most people's diets).

Some people don't like the taste of sweeteners (at least some sweeteners), but that varies too.

Re: Sugar

[wordofblake.livejournal.com]

sorry, I was not really clear I guess. What I mean is that I do not see the correlation where no sugar = no downside.

I'm not saying sugar is great, but that the sweeteners they are using to replace it probably are not any better. Plus there are bound to be other things that are bad for you in the drink so removing the sugar hardly makes it some sort of ultimate drink with no downside.
