Why, Coca-Cola? Why? :'(

The new Ginger-Lime Diet Coca-Cola is sad. I imagine it is what the taste of the original Diet Coke with Lime's watered down tears taste like. The tears of being abandoned for such a pathetic imitation. So sad. I will try Fiesty Cherry tonight, but I feel I will likely be mourning the loss of Diet Coke with Cherry very soon.

    Can you still get diet cherry vanilla anywhere? That stuff was delicious.

    This company is on a roll apparently! (No, I still have not forgiven you for ruining Coke Zero, Coca-Cola)

    I thought they just changed the name to coca cola zero sugar...? I haven't noticed any change in the taste.

    Ok, well I haven't noticed them doing that here in Canada, but our formulas and marketing are slightly different anyway. They tend to make the Canadian products slightly sweeter.

    Changed the name, design, and now use an "improved recipe"... some people like it, I personally think it tastes awful.

    They are trying to faze out diet coke, which I am NOT happy about. Its my favourite drink of all, and the main one I will drink if I go out. I think about 20% of people are big diet coke fans, so I don't understand why they would get rid of it. I don't like regular coke. Might have to switch to pepsi (although it is a bit too sugary).

    That would seem to be why they have added all the new diet coke variations I guess.

    Another "improved" formula? Cool, it's like the New Coke of the diet category. We all know how well New Coke went over.

    Let me cry you a river all the way from Denmark where we literally have one coke zero flavor: coke zero. :|

    Same here, unless you go to a restaurant with a Free Form machine or whatever they are calling it these days. Americans are so lucky!

    I haven't heard of that flavor. Sounds kind of gross to me. There is a diet ginger soda I like called Goslings.

    And yes. Diet sodas are my life savors. I hated them until about a year or two ago when I started feeling a deficit hard. I had a craving out of no where and they have been a part of my life, especially when cutting, ever since.

    we don't even have those. :(

    but we did get ginger pepsi max last year (for about 3 months before it was pulled), so atleast we've got that going for us.

    Diet Coke is sad anyway. Coke Zero ftw (or for me most of the time, Diet Cherry Dr Pepper...sorry Canadians for bringing it up again)

    I’m sad also :( I loved the coke freestyle machines because you could get Diet Coke with lime from them. I went to the movies yesterday and they have one there and it was changed to ginger lime :(((((

    they are phasing out coke zero not really diet coke. as the coca cola zero calorie is still a diet product., they are coming out with the new flavors to probably keep up with the demands that other companies are coming out with. pepsi has had other flavors out with its 1893 line of flavored pepsi as well as the cherry flavors. mtn dew now has ice which is a clear lemon lime soda. I think coke may be losing money so they have to come out with something new and see how well it does. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/07/26/coca-cola-second-quarter-earnings/511675001/
