    Any Pepsi/Coke products suck in my opinion. They make me feel cracked out and go to the bathroom. Plus all the weird chemicals.

    I've switched over to Sparkling waters, Izze bottled drinks, & organic all natural sodas that contain no preservatives or other yuck. I LOVE carbonation but want to drink something a bit healthier. Works great so far.

    Coke zero, all day long. I don't drink a lot of soda, I do water and crystal light primarily, but when I WANT a coke zero, you better clear out of my way and make it happen :)

    You would probably like coke zero better coz it tastes more like the real thing :) I LOVE Diet Coke, because it doesnt taste like the real thing! lol

    ^^^^^ This!!! There's something about that weird Diet Coke taste that I love! I used to be a total addict. But now I'm down to a few cans a month.

    I can't stand diet coke but I can tolerate Vanilla Coke Zero. I used to drink cokes all of the time though. I am trying to only drink 2-3 of the vanilla coke zeros a week and only when I've had at least 8 glasses of water. I'm able to drink water with the Brita water bottle. Before I couldn't stand the taste of water.

    pepsi max is awesome if you want a really good diet cola. i prefer it to full sugar.

    screw the people that say it's unhealthy. everything is these days. do what you want, ignore everyone else.

    I think they both taste like crap. I don't drink very much soda, but I've found Dr. Pepper 10 to be a good choice when I do drink one.

    I'm not sure about Coke but i know Pepsi One does not have aspertame like Diet sodas do. and it has 0 calories! Pepsi one is sweetened with Splenda.

    Diet coke is an acquired taste. Once you get used to it then drinking reg coke or even coke zero tastes really sweet. If you want to get something that tastes closer to reg coke then go coke zero.

    Diet sodas are just as bad if not worse than regular sugared sodas. Diet coke has the nasty sweet n low kind of after taste though and I can't stand that. coke zero tastes more like regular coke.

    Why is it worse to have a diet soda with no calories or 'real' sugar than a full-fat soda which contains about six spoons full of sugar in it and averages out at about 130 calories a can?

    they are identical products.

    it's marketing that has created coke zero...diet coke has a more feminine brand perception, whereas coke zero is aimed at men in general.

    Um, pretty sure that's not correct. I drank Diet Coke for years and now drink Coke Zero. They taste NOTHING the same, and Coke Zero tastes pretty close to the real Coke.

    Soda = bad for you. Doesn't matter what brand, color, taste, etc... Soda is the reason America is the most obese country in the world. The faster everyone quits, the faster we will all be healthy. I say ban all soft drinks.

    Soda is the reason America is the most obese country in the world.

    Actually, this happens because people consume too many calories overall.

    Yup, but you have to admit soda accounts for a lot of them.

    For a diet soda, I'd recommend trying Blue Sky.
    They have some organic flavors, and the calorie free flavors use stevia (a natural no calorie sweetner)
    I think they tasted pretty good, and they have a cola flavor. :3

    Yes, most heavy soda drinkers would cut a significant amount of calories out of their day by sticking to maybe one soda a day or eliminating it all together.

    I love my cancer causing sugar substitutes. Out of the two, I prefer Diet Coke. Coke Zero reminds me of Pepsi Max-the taste is different, but I can't really put my finger on why. Diet Mountain Dew is my favorite.

    And I have to say, drinking diet soda is not what made me fat. Consuming massive quantities of baked goods and desserts and eating like my husband played the largest roles in that.

    Didnt read all this but I looked at the ingredients one time between coke zero and diet coke and they were exactly the same. SO I dont see any difference. I thought at the time coke zero would have splenda instead of nutrasweet. I cant have nutrasweet due to severe reactions i have (epileptic convulsions). when I saw they were the same ingredients I had to put it down as both have nutrasweet.

    If I were you, I would stick to water. Diet sodas have artificial sweeteners that trick the body into thinking that it is getting sugar, so the body releases insulin, which can cause fat storage.

    With Pizza??
    cappacino or hot chocolate
    want soda? chinotto
    or Chianti if you want booze

    your pizza is already making this a risk day.
    Workout like mad for this meal and have a proper italian drink

    Oh wow, so glad the OP had you on hand to tell her all about her potential 'risk day'. Please tell us more on how awesome your job on the food police force is.

    I love all the people shaming her for drinking soda. She didn't ask you for your damn opines on whether or not soda is a good/bad thing to have. Or even seek your permission to drink it. I, personally, don't drink soda but you don't see me telling her that it's not good for her. She can drink it if she wants. Take your mother hen selves and shove it. People do what they want, how they want it, on their own terms, and it's really nobody else's damn business when everyone should have full body autonomy and control of their own lives without know-it-alls' unsolicited advice on telling them what they should and should not do.

    NO Competition: Coke Zero all the way! If you were an avid Coke Classic drinker, like Me, and tried Diet Coke...I REFUSED to drink it because it tasted NOTHING like Coke Classic. I even went to Diet Pepsi when I gave up the sugar; then, I saw the Coke Zero commercial and said OK I'll give it a try (because of My brand loyalty). WOW, the taste is exactly like Coke Classic and in fact, I refuse to drink Coke Classic because the taste is so much alike...Coke Zero is even more refreshing, I think.

    ETA: For all of you who don't drink soda...so what! I don't eat pork or beef, so what. But if you do, ok. Me, if at 12 AM I am up and want to "snack" I prefer a Coke Zero to WHATEVER you choose.

    Someone with some sense, well thank Christ, i was beginning to lose hope. Guess what people? We're all dying really, really slowly, lawl...the goal of most of us here is to make it happen even slower...but i'll be damned if i'm living a boring life and diet soda's awesome and i'm going to drink it...and guess what? I'm having one for you too, lol. What now.

    Totally agree ... if everyone logged their calories, they'd probably be shocked at how many calories they drank in a day ...

    Im not sure why I even went back to drinking soda ... I quit completely while I was pregnant ... and it's no a MUST have now .. just a nice to have sometimes ..

    Well thank you. I dont even really drink it, like I said maybe one or 2 a month. Just was curious about these 2 products.
    I dont like the taste of aspertame at all ...

    And for what it's worth, I totally expected the "soda is bad for you and aspertame is evil" .. it's nothing Im not aware of so I'm not offended :)

    there's more caffeine in Diet Coke. IIRC, ~80g/bottle for diet coke and ~55g/bottle for Coke Zero.
