Who can tell me the difference of Diet Coke and Coke ZERO?

Question

They both have NO Calories, so what's the big difference?

Answer 1

Coke Zero is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium (ace-k) and has zero calories. The only chemical difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke is that Coke Zero has about half the aspartame but has more ace-k.

Yay for chemicals.

Answer 2

Coke ZERO is supposed to taste more like regular coke - and it does, to an extent anyway. I can't stand it because the whole reason I drank Diet Coke was because I find regular Coke too sweet-tasting.

Answer 3

Good question. I've wondered that myself. Here is what i found out from the Coca-cola website:



"Coca-Cola Zero provides real Coca-Cola taste for variety-seeking consumers. Coca-Cola Zero is sweetened with a blend of low-calorie sweeteners, while Diet Coke is sweetened with aspartame. As for Coke/Coca-Cola light, in certain countries, the term "diet" is not used to describe low-calorie foods and beverages. In these countries, we offer Coke/Coca-Cola light. The sweetener blend used for Coke/Coca-Cola light is formulated for each country based on consumer preference."


Coke Zero sounds better to me.

Answer 4

One is sweetened with equal and the other with splenda, I believe
