What's the difference between Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero??

Answer 1

Diet Coke has always been known as a women's drink. When they released Coca-Cola Zero they marketed it for men. Hence the ad with all the men marching through the street.

"Marketing

Coke Zero is Coca-Cola's biggest product launch in 22 years, and primarily targets young adult males with the marketing claim that the taste is nearly indistinguishable from Coca-Cola Classic since, unlike Diet Coke, Coke Zero is based on the formulation of Coca-Cola Classic."

With its current targeting of young males Coke Zero seems destined to compete head on with Pepsi Max.

Answer 2

Diet Coca-Cola is the sugar-free version of New Coke (Coke II), and hit the market two years before New Coke was released in its own right (New Coke debuted to a crashing thud in 1985 was subsequently discontinued). Diet Coke contains aspartame.

Coca Cola Zero is a sugar-free version of Classic Coke, the version of regular Coca Cola that is still available (a tweaked version of the original Coca-Cola formula that was released after Coke II fizzled). Coke Zero contains aspartame and acesulfame potassium.

In this category there is also:
Diet Coca-Cola with Splenda, which is a formulation compatible with the Atkins diet. It is based on the same formula as Diet Coke, but the sweetener has a different taste than Diet Coke.
and
C2, marketed as half Diet Coke and half “regular” Coke (Coca-Cola Classic). Sweeteners include high fructose corn syrup, aspartame (Equal) and sucralose (Splenda) .

Answer 3

I think Coke Zero tastes just like regular Coca-Cola. I can't drink Diet Coke anymore, it tastes like chemicals and not good at all. (All these people saying it's the same product with a different name have clearly not drunk both.) However, someone above mentioned this as well, why on earth does it go flat IMMEDIATELY? If I don't chug it, it's flat in 5 minutes. Strange!

Answer 4

The taste, the name. Diet coke taste much better than Coca-Cola Zero.

Answer 5

The flavor is so much better in coke zero then diet. It tastes like a coca-cola without all the sugars.

Answer 6

I asked this the other day, because I am a diet coke drinker and couldn't see the point of an essentially identical product.
Apparently, it's because Coke's marketing people reckon Men and teens ar put off by the word diet in the name, so they are re-launching it. Pepsi did the same thing with Pepsi Max ( although I reckon I can taste a difference between Diet P and P Max, which I can't with the Cokes)

Answer 7

not much really its actually quite funny; Coca cola zero was introduced to get men drinking it you rarely see a man drinking diet coke as it looks like he is dieting which in many social circles is a terrible thing to admit to. The coca cola company realises that men may want to have a healthier alternative but would not be seen dead drinking diet coke so lets make a healthy alternative sound sound dangerous instead: COCA-COLA ZERO!!! grrrrr MANLY!!!!

Answer 8

I always though it was because Coca Cola Zero has no sugar at all, where as Diet Coke just doesn't have any added sugar?? I may be wrong though..

Answer 9

Yes they are both products of coke .
Besides tasting different i believe if you read the content values on the side . Zero is Zero everything where as Diet has more carbs or sugar or whatever it is lol.

Answer 10

the name
