Default I have been avoiding softdrink for 9 month until..

I tried coke zero today.. omg this is exactly the coke I drink before..why no one tells me before??

The taste is so good that I want some affirmation that my coke zero isn't a factory error?

You know they accidently mix up with normal coke?

I hated Coke Zero when I was drinking the REAL full sugar, red cans of Coke. But now that I'm drinking sf sodas every once in a while, I LIKE the Coke Zero. It is not a factory mistake!!

I once tried to figure out the difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero, and I think it was just ONE ingredient that was different, but now I can't remember. I do know that they seem to taste better than Diet Coke. I also read that the reason they came out with the black cans is for the MEN. Because men thought being seen drinking a "Diet Coke" in the silver can was sissified somehow. So they invented this sleek black can, and erased the girly-word "diet" from it, and voila!!

I tell you what though, my favorite diet soda is the Sprite Zero. Have you tried it? With the blue label? OMG, I too thought this was a factory mistake! It is absolutely my favorite diet soda. I only buy the cans--they are a treat for me. You must try it!!

Would like to hear what other people's ideas on the diet coke/coke zero difference is..... which do you prefer?

I'm a Coke girl, I HATE Pepsi, blechhhh! Coke IS IT! :-D

Most people can't see any point in caffeine free soda but I don't care one way or another about caffeine and the caffeine free Diet Coke tastes 90% closer to the 'real thing' to me. I do also like Coke Zero and Diet Pepsi. I only drink Diet Coke if I'm desperate.

Ew, I hate Coke Zero so much, I actually poured it down the drain... and I'm a diet soda junkie. I've warmed up to Diet Coke, mainly because it's free at work.

Diet Pepsi >>>> Other diet soft drinks like root beer >>> Diet Coke >>> Horse p!ss >>> Coke Zero

Coke Zero and Diet Coke have different artificial sweeteners (and these vary by country, as does the sugar source in real Coke). Coke Zero tastes too sickly sweet to me and has an aftertaste.

I know this is a slightly older post, but my question is, WHEN and HOW did you come to be drinking horse p!ss? And was it chilled? Because if it wasn't, that may have been your problem.

PS: ]I've never tasted Coke Zero. Nor horse p!ss...
