Does Coke Zero really not taste diet-y?

Answer 1

Personally, I can taste the difference between Coke and Coke Zero. Coke has that really heavy taste that comes with all the excess sugar and stuff. I'm not a big fan of diet sodas, but my mom and sister drink it like it's water. If you get the Coke Zero with Cherry or something, then the Cherry flavor masks the "diety" taste even more.. that's really the only way I can drink it, since I'm so sensitive to it.

But, then again, soda is bad for you anyway. Even though diet is "better", it's still not as good as, say, pure juice or water or tea. So, I try to stay away from soda products all together.

If you are curious, go out and buy a can or something :-) Or a 20 oz, then you get the lid and can use the "Coke points" online to get a ringtone or something. Hehe.

Answer 2

Zero tastes more like Diet Coke. This makes sense because Coke Zero is a 'diet soda' It's marketed towards 18-34 year old males who think that drinking anything labeled 'Diet' makes them less masculine. Coke Zero sounds 'cooler' than Diet Coke.

Answer 3

I don't notice much of a difference. Maybe Coke is crisper than Coke Zero but Coke Zero doesn't taste like diet coke at all.

Answer 4

I'm a huge fan of Coke Zero. I think it tastes far less diety than diet coke, and it doesn't have the super acidic burning-ness of regular coke.

Answer 5

Ehhh, it's ok. I am a preferred Coke drinker, but I will take a Pepsi One over any diet Coke product.

Answer 6

Coke Zero hardly taste's diety, but then it doesn't taste non-diety. It's kinda weird, it's like in between. You don't get a weird after taste in your mouth like with diet but then you don't get that sweet burst of crispiness like regular. It doesn't 'taste' diety though

Answer 7

chemicals that gives your "tongue" detect sweetness.
