Additional info on the differences, from Wikipedia :
This product is different from Diet Coke because of the sweeteners it uses (Diet Coke only uses aspartame), and because, unlike Diet Coke, this product is based on the original Coca-Cola formula.

Diet Coke is made w/nutrasweet.

They are quite different to diet soda drinkers.

Diet coke uses aspartame as it's sweetener while Coke zero uses splenda and tastes a bit more like the normal coke.

Coke Zero tastes almost like Coke Classic, theyjust sweeten it w/ aspartame instead of sugar/corn syrup.
Diet Coke is also sweettened w/ aspartame, but it has it's own (funky-IMO) flavor.
If the Coke co. would only put Splenda in Coke Zero, they coudl change the world!

Diet Coke and Coke Zero taste different to me, so I figure they use a different sugar substitute in them.

Well coke zero isnt new. Its been around longer then most people think. Anyways...
Diet coke has a bit of sugar (less then normal coke), but says that it is caffeine-free.
Coke zero has no sugar and no calories.

The new coke zero contains no calories, whereas the diet coke still contains some.

Coke zero tastes more like regular Coke- it doesn't have that slightly bitter taste the regular Diet Coke has.
