    Wait so what is the "no sugar coke" called? I only know diet and zero.

    Oh yeah and diet dr. pepper. Doesn't even taste diet. The only reason I don't always choose it is because I think it may have less or no caffeine and I'm a struggling person who needs to be caffeinated every 3 hours.

    The new one is literally called "coke no sugar". They're phasing out coke zero apparently...

    Here's the press release from Coca-Cola:

    http://www.coca-colacompany.com/press-center/company-statements/coke-zero-and-coca-cola-zero-sugar

    Apparently in some markets it's called Coke No Sugar and in others it's called Coke Zero Sugar (neither of which is the same as Coke Zero as we've known it).

    I drink Diet Coke almost daily. I tried Coke Zero once years ago and thought it didn't taste anything close to regular Coke as purported and preferred the taste of Diet Coke over Coke Zero. I still occasionally indulge in a mini can of regular Coke, so I'll be curious to try the new Coke Zero Sugar/Coke No Sugar.

    I wonder if Coke Zero wasn't performing well, hence the formula change AND rebranding?

    I also never got to try Coca-Cola Life (the Coke in the green can). I never saw it in any store where I live. It's being discontinued as well.

    I'm going to be on the lookout for Coke No Sugar!

    I think i posted about this several months ago (around December). in my area it looks like this:
    Coke_Zero_Sugar.jpg

    As an avid coke zero / pepsi max fan I can attest to the fact that it tastes.... exactly like coke zero always has. They rebranded because of confusion stemming from the coke zero name... suprisingly enough they did research and found that nearly half of british consumers did not know that coke zero had... zero sugar.

    "After the company’s research found half of British consumers did not know the brand contained no sugar, it will be relaunched as “Coca-Cola Zero Sugar” in June, in Coca-Cola Great Britain’s biggest product launch for a decade."

    https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/19/coca-cola-zero-renamed-uk-taste-more-like-coke-sugar

    From their own website:

    Why have you named it Coca-Cola No Sugar? We chose the name to be as clear as possible about the fact that the new Coke No Sugar is exactly that – a Coca-Cola with no sugar.

    https://www.coca-cola.com.au/en/new-coke-no-sugar-faqs/





    so to recap: it tastes 100% like coke zero or most other "zero/max" non-sugar soda varieties.

    They rebrand coke zero to coke zero sugar (apparently people didn't realize coke zero didn't have sugar) in Canada a few months ago and that one tastes exactly the same as coke zero

    Isn't this just a rebranding strategy? Because of all the BS media on artificial sweeteners and the uproar of sugar being the devil, wouldn't a rebranding and saying "no sugar" on a label entice the product to be more desireable?

    BTW, Diet Cherry Pepsi FTW.

    If I drink soda I go for cherry coke zero it's perfection! But whatever happened to Dr Pepper 10 that stuff was really good can't find it now.

    Word.

    I loved the A&W 10....

    I love Dr. Brown's diet cream soda, but can never find it. There's a Zevia one (maybe the one meant, as they all have stevia as the sweetener), but I don't like it nearly as much.

    bbell, is the diet chocolate fudge one Canfield's? That was really popular a million years ago when I was in high school and I loved it then and am scared but curious to try it again.

    Polar makes one, the company that makes the seltzer water. It is really good, one of the best diet cream sodas, I never checked to see what sweetener is uses.

    I'm Diet Coke all the way. I only go for Coke Zero when I'm trying to cut back a bit on caffeine and the caffeine free Diet Coke isn't available. Coke Zero has just slightly less caffeine. My work only has Pepsi products so I've grown to accept Diet Cherry Pepsi.

    On Wednesday, Coca-Cola announced that it would stop selling Coke Zero in the US in August, replacing it with a beverage with a different recipe, design, and name: Coke Zero Sugar.

    "It is a reinvention of Coke Zero," CEO James Quincey said in a call with investors.

    According to Coca-Cola, Coke Zero Sugar is closer to the taste of Coca-Cola Original. However, with zero sugar and zero calories, the drink also appeals to customers who are seeking lower-sugar options.

    Coke Zero is already a major hit outside of America, with growth figures reaching the teens. In the US, Coke Zero sales grew 3.5% in 2016, compared to Diet Coke's drop of 1.9% in the same time period.

    WTF WTF WTF. Very unhappy about this. Thought it was going to have same recipe but just new name. Nope.

    That's odd; the articles I've seen are saying it has the same ingredients: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/07/26/coca-cola-zero-sugar-cokes-hot-new-soda-isnt-actually-that-new-at-all/?utm_term=.0d1b28cd154b

    Well I hope it tastes the same b/c when I hear "new recipe" it sounds like it won't even if the ingredients are the same.....

    No haven't tried it.vanilla coke zero is my fav

    But, have you guys tried CHERRY VANILLA Coke Zero?! It's my go-to at the Coke mix machines. It's the best of both worlds, if that world isn't going to include Diet Dr. Pepper.

    Many years ago, I found Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper in a little desert shop in California and my world was changed, lol.

    I think it tastes different to coke zero. I'm a diet coke drinker, but tolerate zero if I have no choice (beats Pepsi).... No sugar coke tasted wrong, and I'd not choose to drink it again.
