    coke zero had a lot more caffeine. just kick the soda habit.

    Actually, Coke Zero has 35mg while Diet Coke has 46mg.

    I prefer Coke Zero taste-wise.

    coke zero is gone now its coke zero sugar have you tried?

    In Australia it's No Sugar Coke. One of our major supermarkets refuses to sell it, and the still have zero. I don't like zero and I like no sugar even less.

    I like the coke zero sugar better than the coke zero. I have never been a fan of coke (bad experience as a child) but when diet pepsi changed their formula I tried other kinds. I couldn't drink the plain coke zero but could handle the cherry zero and the vanilla zero. I tried he coke zero sugar to see what the change was and now have that too. I would say to try one and see if you like it.

    Not important on a website forum focused on health and weight. It's like saying Herrs BBQ chips vs. Lays BBQ chips?

    Those sodas aren't calorie free by the way. A single splenda, equal, or other comparable sugar substitute is 4 calories per gram. Acid reflux is awful and has been linked to soda intake. You create other long term issues by drinking something lower calorie and shaving 100 calories off your day.

    And a whole can of diet coke contains something like 0.2 grams. 4 times 0.2 = less than 1 calorie for the whole can vs. the 30+ grams of sugar = 120 in regular.

    1 pack of splenda is about 4 calories. Not zero. I know thats nitpicking, but many people don't know that. I don't know how many grams of sucralose they use per 2 liter bottle, but it adds up if you're drinking that daily.
    The four calories in a packet of Splenda are from filler material, not the trace amount of sucralose.
    You're not going to get enough sucralose from a Diet Pepsi for the calories to add up. You burn as much getting up and getting it out of the fridge as you get from the pop.

    I loved Coke Zero and the new Coke Zero Sugar is actually even better. It's even closer to the taste of real Coke than before. Total win.

    Coke Zero was gross, a Diet Coke is alright once in awhile. I'm not a big soda drinker so if I ever even want one I'll tend to have a regular Coke or Pepsi but Diet is a decent alternative.

    I can do either but prefer Coke Zero... now called Coke Zero Sugar. Diet has an after taste. Reg Coke is too sugary. Like drinking syrup.

    For this, I find it depends on the source. Can vs "personal" bottle vs 2L bottle vs movie theater etc.

    I find the times it tastes the best are at the movies; but that may have other factors involved.

    I think the new Coke Zero Sugar sucks. It’s the same mistake they made with “new Coke”. It has actually driven me back to caffeine-free Diet Coke.

    My recall of the taste of "Diet Coke" is of me thinking that it is so very far from the taste of Coca-Cola as to not really deserve the "Coke" in its name. The "Coke Zero", OTOH, is close enough to Coca-Cola to deserve to have the "Coke" in its name.

    Diet pepsi is infinitely better than Coke.

    I have bad acid reflux and Diet Coke upsets my system more than Diet Pepsi. Plus, I like the Pepsi taste more.

    I used to easily go through a twelve pack plus a liter of diet soda per day. Yes, that's 12 cans plus an additional liter. I never had any problems losing weight while on that regime. So whatever calories I drank were few and had little impact.

    I prefer diet. I think because I grew up drinking it. In general, I like aspartame more than splenda, and i like both more than regular pop. Most people I know though prefer coke zero over diet.

    Ditto. I like Diet Coke.

    Diet Coke for preference.
    Then Pepsi Max
    Then Coke Zero
    Then Diet Pepsi

    Diet Dr Pepper ranks above all of these :)

    Didn’t think there was a difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero other than the can - with the latter designed to be more male-friendly to increase sales.
    As such I’ve not noticed a difference between the two, although I rarely drink the stuff anyway.
