Drink the real thing or water. There is no middle ground with Coke
Coke Zero Sugar sucks

Man, I’ve been drinking zero now for over 5 years. I tried to drink a true Coke the other day and it tasted like a pack of syrup.
which is weird …I don’t drink it because of health, I actually like the taste over Coke OG.
I still slam an ice cold Mountain Dew once a week…..a DP a couple times a month.

You and ClintoninHelen?
Why is there such thing as Coke Zero? I like the taste of Diet Coke better anyway, but is there some reason they have two no sugar alternatives to the original?
I’ve been drinking Coke Zero for almost 4 years and I haven’t looked back.
They reformulated the Zero about 3 years ago and it’s better than the original Zero.

I think coke zero and diet coke are the same formula and sweetener. I believe I read somewhere that Coke Zero was created to market easier to men who don't won't to buy a product with Diet in the name. I know in other countries Diet Coke is called something different like Coke Light.
It's so bad I have to put a jigger of Maker's Mark in mine to make it palatable.
Cherry Coke Zero is my personal favorite diet drink. I guess they still make it, haven't bought in a while.
Coke Zero is a lot better than Diet Coke.
The wife said Aspartame is a deal breaker. Supposedly not good to ingest.
My daughter drinks this. She seems to like it and yes they sell it but Kroger is a bit spotty on keeping it in stock. She also wanted the Dr Pepper Zero Strawberries and Cream. I haven't tried it and don't think I will. Sounds horrible but she likes it.
Found the guy whos wife is making him loose a few pounds.
I was once mildly addicted to Mnt Dew, drank minimum of 3x 16oz a day and more on weekends. Now, if its not coffee, water, milk or beer (not in that order) I don't drink it. If I drank something carbonated and sweet I'd hurl my innards up.
Yeah it’s bad if you drink 20 gallons of Diet Coke every day for 2 years straight.
Mt Dew + Taco Bell... no better fast food combo
About a decade ago I was drinking at least a 6 pack of 16oz bottles of OG Coke a day. I started working out a bit more & tracking my caloric, sodium, sugar intake etc on one of those fitness things. I was flabbergasted at the amount of sugar I was consuming.
Long story short, I slowly switched over to Zero and lost 40lbs in about a year. Diet Coke tastes like ***. If I pick up a real Coke now, though, I can taste the diabeetus.

My aunt used to buy TABs by the case. That was some nasty stuff
I probably don't drink a case of Cokes or any soda for that matter per year, but. Coke Zero is far superior to Diet Coke and I'd honestly rather have a Zero over a full leaded Coke. But if I'm pouring a bag of peanuts in the bottle then a full fledged Coke is the only option.
Ok so that was a bit of an exaggeration, it’s actually only 36 cans of Diet Coke per day. So a little over 3 gallons of Diet Coke per day to reach the maximum daily limit.
I’m pretty close. Pretty sure I’m going to have the same result as John Daly.
I drink a lot of Coke Zero. I prefer it by miles over Diet Coke. Interestingly, from the fountain the difference is very slight to me but out of a can or bottle diet is almost undrinkable.
When they switched from Coke Zero to Coke Zero Sugar a few years back I could barely tell the difference between those as well.

And restaurants with freestyle machines need to figure out their syrup concentration better. The difference between a Sonic Coke Zero and a Freestyle CZ, is like the difference between freshly squeezed OJ and OJ from a new metal water bottle after brushing your teeth.
Odd timing on this thread. I was just telling my Coke rep this very thing this week.
Coke Zero is not very popular. Coca-Cola corporate is pushing it hard, but it's just not taking. I switched the fountain machine in the restaurant from Pepsi to Coke in early November.
The fountain has six flavors. Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper, and Barq's.
Every flavor has gone through at least multiple (4 each in the case of Coke and Dr Pepper and 3 of diet Coke and Sprite) 5 gallon bibs except for the Coke Zero. I literally just changed out the first 2.5 gallon bib that was hooked up when we installed the machine in November yesterday.
To put numbers to that story, a 5 gallon bib of syrup contains about 160 pours of 24 ounces. The 2.5 gallon bib is more like 80. So we have gone through 700+ cups of Coke and Dr Pepper to only 80 of the Coke Zero.
Barq's hasn't been great either, but that's because we have a better root beer in cans (Old Faithful from Grand Teton Brewing.) We also sell half liter glass bottles of Mexican Coke to the tune of about 5 cases a month.
Across the board the Coke Zero is a flat out dog. Switching it over to lemonade next month.

Yeah, aspartame has probably been tested more than any other food product over decades, and nothing has ever been proven that it’s dangerous in reasonable amounts.
I am not trying to blow this thread up, but why does everyone care so much if people or companies don’t agree politically with them? I had someone I know who wouldn’t let his sons see the avengers movies because he didn’t like Chris Evans’s political stance. Who cares?? If I like a certain brand I’m not going to stop buying it if I find out it’s Trump’s or Biden’s too. The reason I don’t drink coke is because I am old and soda is like this to me:
