I love Coke Zero!

Lol when I first tried Coke Zero, I didn't know that it was diet, so you can imagine how disappointed I was when I took the first sip. XD

Has anyone looked at the ingredients of Diet and Zero yet?
They're the same.

Coke Zero Ingredients

Colour (150d) - aka "Sulphite Ammonia Caramel"

Food acid 338 - aka "Phosphoric Acid"

Food Acids 330 This is the only difference between the 2 there is 330 in this coke and 331 in the other unfortunately i don't know what it is so..yeah

wait actually Food acids 330 is citric acid ...so yeah but then again when has Wikipedia ever been truthful ?

Well, I hope for your health that you're not drinking phosphoric acid.

Doesn't diet coke have only one calorie and coke zero doesn't have any?

oh man i remember the good old days
throwback coke(Coke with natural sugar instead of corn syrup)
it was really really good

I haven't drank diet coke ever(yay) so I cant really say, but I want to know what it's like. But my supermarket's cheapest coke(£0.17) per 2 litres tastes like p***

I'm not a big fan of soda in general, it's always hurt my throat when I drink it. I have had both though and diet soda is always a million times sweeter than regular soda and it leaves a weirder aftertaste. That being said I think people can get used to most things over time so if you for some reason HAD to drink diet, you would probably get used to it over time...so long as you don't drink regular too, then you'd probably have to start all over again. I don't think soda is essential to my life, so I'll just stick with my water, juice, soy milk (I'm lactose intolerant) and tea! Also, caffeine makes me sick, so if I did drink a coke, it would have to be caffeine free.

I personally never liked any diet soda drinks they all taste nasty and make my stomach hurt and throat hurt a lot, but normal soda is OK sometimes but my favorite kinds of soda has to be mountain dew and coca cola.

Coke is never caffeine free. Not that I know of.

I heard that Diet Coke is less healthier than regular Coke. I prefer the original one myself instead of Diet. Diet Coke leaves that weird aftertaste and it isn't as filling as regular Coke.

But I like 7up the best. Or Mountain Dew. Whichever.

I think that diet coke is just watered down coca cola.. that's how it taste in my opinion.

Im fine with the taste. I cant tell much of a difference between diet and regular. Im weird like that. :/

i hate diet stuff the only diet drinks ill drink is diet dr pepper and diet mountain dew
