Coke zero!

I drink both, but my preference is Pepsi Max.

I am actually a coke fan when it comes down to it, but when it comes to coke zero or pepsi max i like the pepsi better. However the only way for you to know for sure is to try them both and see which one you prefer the taste of. I think the pepsi max has more of a original pop flavor and less of a sweetener after taste. But that is just me

Soda is not good for you - WATER!

I could drink either, but I think I prefer Coke Zero.

Love, love Diet Coke with Lime!

I used to love Pepsi max-- however my gut did not nor did my REM cycle when I tried to sleep at night. Gave it up. THe high concentration of caffiene and gingsing did sit well. Now hardly drink anything but water. May do a diet Dr pepper cherry every so often when I feel a brown pop desire coming on

There has been studies shown that people who drink diet soda are mo likely to be overweight than those who drink an occasional regular soda. It has something to do with the fake sugar making you crave real sugar I guess. I know it helped me when I stopped drinking diet coke. I hit a plateau and then stopped drinking it and broke through the plateau. Worth a shot I'd say.

Actually the studies show that overweight people drink diet soda, they do not show that diet soda makes people overweight. Basically you're perpetuating a myth based on a logical fallacy from study results that anti diet soda people have intentionally misinterpreted in their obssessive quest to try and prove that diet sodas are harmful, even though the peer reviewed science doesn't agree.

It's the equivalent of saying "my blue hat causes me to lose weight, because every time I've worn it I've lost weight."

When I just got to have a soda, I go for Coke Zero! Cannot stand Pepsi Max. blecchhh! I drink one to two Coke Zeroes per week. (no more than 2!) The rest of the time, it's water, tea, the occassional coffee, maybe a diet lemonade. Mostly water though.

I just want to roll my eyes at the people who are freaking out saying "no don't drink either, stick to water!!! blah blah blah"

It's totally fine to have one of these things once a day or every other day or something.


I like them both. For me it depends on which one I'm craving that day. If you are looking for which one tastes as close to the regular kind, Pepsi Maxx tastes closer to Pepsi than Coke Zero does to a Coke.

I haven't tried the cherry versions yet........but now I'm going to!

Pepsi Max - Everytime !

My employer stocks the fridge with coke products and a handful of times recently I've grabbed a Coke Zero, only to have to doublecheck the can when I take a slug and could swear it was a Coke.

It sounds like a commercial, but there ya go.

Pepsi Max!

I buy whichever is on sale that week. Make sure to enter it into your counting because of the sodium.

Well, there's nothing wrong with either so whichever you prefer for taste really... personally I prefer diet coke and neither pepsi or coke zero! Nothing wrong with a few diet sodas a week. There's not that much sweetener in them which is what some people fret about... also as long as you're brushing your teeth and looking after your oral hygiene... the other effects on teeth etc are no worse than fruit and other food really.

Pepsi Max hands down.................in moderation:)

I prefer Pepsi Max if I fancy something sweet to drink and Coke Zero if I just fancy a cola and it happens to be cheaper.

Ro0kins_Wedding

I like both.

I prefer Pepsi Max. If I have been drinking lots of Pepsi Max for a while Coke Zero takes foul but then when i've been drinking Coke Zero for a while then Pepsi Max is too sweet.

brenteesha

They are both gross... Drink your water and splurge with a normal coke or pepsi every once and a while

^^^Agree with that! If you're looking at it from a health perspective, buy Pepsi Throwback... it's made with real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweetener. You just can't drink it too often because of the cals. From a taste perspective on diet soda only... I say either Pepsi Max, Cherry Coke Zero (better than plain Coke Zero) or Diet Dr Pepper. I heard Dr Pepper 10 is good, but haven't tried it...

Bentley2718

Neither is health food, but that said, I'm pretty sure Pepsi Max has more caffeine.

I think you should avoid all diet sodas!! I just broke the habbit. It was really hard to do and after 3 weeks I am still struggling with it. Although I feel so much better now that I drink only water. My weight loss is improving also. I feel more clear minded and energized now as well. Look into aspertaime poisening, bad stuff and I feel so true.

RAFValentina

Absolute fallacy that they stop you losing weight. Does my picture below look like it stopped me? Cherry Pepsi Max is the best! :bigsmile:

thank goodness for people like you! i get so sick of people going on about it affecting weight loss... sure if you drink 2 litres of the stuff a day on top of all your food and other water you'll weigh 2kg heavier! It's water pretty much! And i never had teeth trouble or anything else because I have a good balanced diet and look after my oral (wheeeey!) health too!

carlie_carl

Pepsi Max all the way, I do agree people should drink water but cutting out these drinks alltogether if you enjoy them personally is just torturing your self when you can have them in moderation

Hotrodhoodlum

Ive been drinking Coke Zero for 3 years I use to comsume Mountain Due like it was water so I have made huge gains in my drinks . I still drink Coke Zero and ive lost 46 lbs in 4 + months if you like it drink it .Come on do we need to stop eating and drinking everything ........

MissSharkattack

Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.

Coke Zero and Pepsi Max taste gross.

trijoe

I'm addicted to Diet Coke and refuse to give it up.
I've tried many times and can't.

Same here. I've been diet soda free since the new year, and holy **** has it been tough at times. The cravings are dying down, sort of, but there are still times... Funny how "I need a drink." has nothing to do with alcohol.

So, if I had to choose between the two, I'd choose mango flavored rooibos tea.

JBApplebee

Pepsi Max all the way! The people saying that there's something off about the taste of Pepsi Max, it's because it actually has taste! Coke zero & diet coke taste like they are watered down. M personal order of preference:

Pepsi Max
Diet Dr. Pepper (Dr. Pepper 10 also)
Diet Dew
Diet A&W
Diet Sunkist

As for those studies that say people who drink diet pop tend to be overweight, (Insert sound of a raspberry here). When I first started to get in shape, the first week the only change I made to my lifestyle was switching from regular to diet pop, and I lost 5 pounds in 1 week. Regular pop has empty calories & that will put the poundage on quicker than diet pop.

Either; with a double shot of Jack Daniels, 3 ice cubes and a wedge of lime.


Cheers!

My husband works for Pepsi, and has been doing too much overtime lately which is only going to get worse as summer approaches, so.... DRINK COKE! :drinker:

Diet pop will kill your cat. make you fat and turn you into a rat. This has all be scientifically proven.
