Either, although I prefer the taste of Coke Zero.

I prefer Coke Zero to Diet Coke.

Back in my wild coked out days I liked Diet Coke better

Had my wife pour me one of each in similar glasses. I couldn't tell the difference. But I don't really like either and just have Coke Zero in the house for when I want Crown Royal.

Coke Zero. Cherry Coke Zero. Vanilla Coke Zero :drinker:

used to love coke zero, but im sure they changed it a few years ago. now i hate it.

I'm not a big pop/soda drinker, but if I had to choose, Diet Coke with a squeeze of lime - deelish!

I would have said Coke Zero but they changed the taste last year in the UK, now it's not nice at all. Pepsi Max Cherry is the one for me!

Coke zero and cherry coke zero are nectar from the gods.

This.

I hate regular Coke, and Coke Zero tastes way too much like it.

You can pry my Diet Coke from my cold, dead, aspartame-filled hands!

Coke Zero

In bottles: Diet Pepsi. From the soda fountains: Diet Coke. Bonus if it's a Coke Freestyle machine; those rock. I make a Diet Coke with lemon. OMG, so good.

I'll drink Diet Coke if it's the only thing available, which is usually the case when out, but Coke Zero.

Neither. Diet Dr Pepper.

Coke Zero. Preferably Cherry Coke Zero. Diet Coke if it's all that's available (looking at you Subway near work - curse you for switching out Coke Zero for full-calorie Vitamin Water!)

I wonder if that's an across the board decision. The ones I've been to recently have had the same issue

Diet Dr. P is better.

Coke Zero is my favorite of the two. It's not a common product everywhere though. When I used to return to my hometown in Alaska, I'd ask for Coke Zero out of habit and quite a few people would look at me like I was off my rocker.

I've been on a Pepsi Max kick lately, but now I'm missing my true love

Diet A&W. Oh, sorry, that wasn't the question. Coke Zero.

Alatariel75

Coke Zero, absolutely. If somewhere only has Diet Coke and not Coke Zero, I get something else entirely.

cerise_noir

Coke zero, but....but..
Pepsi Max!

Sticking to the topic, though: I love, love love coke zero vanilla and coke zero cherry.

I also, obviously have a problem typing coke without adding an extra letter and removing one. o_O Oopsies.

I prefer the flavour of Coke Zero or Pepsi Max, but will go with Diet Coke if that's the only option.

I lived in one of the early Coca-Cola Zero test market cities and switched immediately away from Diet Coke. That was around 2005. The early Coca-Cola Zero was sold in a white/silver can.

I recall reading that Zero is the same flavor formula as regular Coke but with an artificial sweetener instead of sugar/HFCS. Diet Coke has a different flavor formula in addition to the artificial sweetener.

Tab is also a Coca-Cola product and is closer than Diet Coke to the flavor of Coke Zero.

Kroger sells a Coke Zero knockoff called Cola Oh! that isn't exactly right, but is still very good when judged on it's own merits.

Neither. Studies have shown that diet sodas do NOT aid in weight loss. Too many artificial sweeteners and other icky chemicals. Water is your best friend if you're trying to drop a few pounds. Great for your kidneys and digestive system.

Actually, the studies have been thoroughly canvassed here by some very knowledgeable people and, while there may not be an amazing positive effect, they also don't hinder weight loss, so if having a Coke Zero for no calories rather than a Coke with 250 calories keeps you in a deficit, have at it.
