Anyone tried the new coke zero formulation?

rainbowbow

They're being released in stores near me soon. I generally drink coke zero and/or pepsi max. I'm curious how different it tastes.

Hadn't heard of this, thanks. What's different?

apparently the taste. It's supposed to be reformulated. I haven't tried it though, so i'm not sure

I've had it it it's not bad I actually like the old Coke Zero tho

I really like coke zero vanilla, hope they don't screw it up in the process. I also love diet coke lime but can never find it when I want it.

New recipe already??? I like Coke Zero. Hate they are changing it up.

I haven't seen it but I wonder if we'll get it in Canada. I feel like we're always behind the US for these things.

I'll be interested in seeing the changes since I love Coke Zero

As long as it doesn't have splenda or stevia. Please don't let it have splenda or stevia.

I haven't seen it yet. I hope they don't mess it up though because I drink Coke Zero (it's sooo much better than diet...not as good as Coke, obviously, but it doesn't have as strong of a nasty aspartame taste as diet).

Check for artificial sweetners, generally i would stay away from sodas even if its zero calories as its still a fizzy drink and bad for you unless you just maintaining your weight or have it occasionally

whats so bad about fizzy drinks? I drink diet sodas and sparkling waters which are carbonated. so whats bad about them?

This is completely untrue.

Not true.

I love Coke Zero - I hope they haven't screwed up the formula, like the whole Diet Pepsi thing.

They're not "bad" necessarily, but water is better. Even if the aspartame, chlorine, chloride, or whatever aren't bad for you internally, the acid in cola (zero calorie or not) is hell on your teeth. Few people really think about it, but that damage adds up over time. i just feel better when i drink water !

Emphasis on the bolded.

I'm glad that you know what is best for you, but the claims that you're making are just not true for everyone. I drink water and tea and coffee and diet soda, which are all perfectly fine for most people and all of them contribute to keeping hydrated. I feel great no matter how I choose to hydrate.

As far as the acid goes, many of the foods we consume on a daily basis are acidic. Having good dental hygiene and going for regular dental checkups are important to help prevent damage from acidic foods.

Yeah no... Not true. What's good for you isn't universal.

Not that I'm aware of. Which either means "no" - which is probably the correct answer - or I have, but didn't notice any difference. If I have, it's been from a fountain, not a bottle/can.

I love Coke Zero. I'm afraid.

I think any zero calorie sweetener has the potential to mess up the way your body regulates insulin. That said if all it offers is taste with no real food value why bother getting hooked on it. Just the way I look at it so don't change what you like because of my opinion.

Meganthedogmom

Oh no, this scares me!!! I treat myself a couple times a week to a nice big Coke Zero fountain drink and I hate to think they've changed the taste!

The_Enginerd

This better not be like the New Coke fiasco...

Yeah... no.

blookykin

Thank god they're changing it. I hope it's actually good because as it stands, Coke Zero is abysmally awful.

Scientific studies have conclusively proven otherwise. So no.

As to the OP, I'm more of a Diet Coke fan than Coke Zero. I'll give the new one a try, but Coca-Cola hasn't exactly had resounding success with their reformulations in the past (anybody remember "New Coke" back in the day?)

singingflutelady

Coke zero is my drink of choice. I hope they don't ruin it!

T0M_K

so basically if i can sum this up.....30 posts later. no one has a clue what it tastes like.....to answer your thread title.

chocolate_owl

THEY'RE CHANGING IT!?!?!?!

This is about as good an idea as New Coke was. Coca-Cola, if it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT.

Chef_Barbell

As long as they don't change my Diet Dr. Pepper... that stuff is good.

Getting hooked on it? Is that what you think happens when someone consumes good-tasting stuff?

Since it's not sugar and has zero calories, how could it possibly have anything to do with how your body regulates insulin?
