Coke Zero is my goto drink. I was a diet coke fan, then it started making me sick, I switched to regular Coke which is soooo yummy, but wanted rid of the calories. I switched to coke zero and it makes me happy. I don't get sick from it like I was from diet coke. BUT I only let myself drink it after I get at least 48 oz of water in first - I consider it my reward before I drink the rest of my water for the day. I don't drink enough of it to be worried about whatever chemicals are in it.0

^ I Totally agree with you on this ^0

Don't know what's in it but it makes me nauseated and I get a headache. Can't be good for me
I have the same reaction to any drinks made with sucralose or acesulfame.
According to www.thecoca-colacompany.com, the ingredients in Coke zero are:
Carbonated Water, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Aspartame, Potassium Benzoate (to protect taste), Natural Flavors, Potassium Citrate, Acesulfame Potassium, Caffeine
EDIT: That's the US version. Ingredients vary by country.0 -
I'm also marginally perplexed by MFP's database listing for it: A 600ml bottle has 2 calories and 1 carb?? Whut?
A string of chemical names isn't overly informative. Some products intentionally use formal terminology to gloss over products that mightn't be popular. But thank you for trying.
The OP above has you boggled about MFP's database listing for it, indicating that you are not sure how many calories or carbs it actually has in it. Also stating that you don't care about chemicals in the first place. So I took that to mean that you wanted to verify that 2 calories and 1 carb is actually what it contains. Reading the label will tell you that.
So would going to Coke's website and looking it up there as someone above did. Instead of trusting strangers on a forum to tell you, you could have found out yourself. Then gone the extra step and googled those ingredients.
But that's just my take on it.0 -
I don't know what yours has in it, but mine usually has a taste of Captain Morgan.
It's the closest thing to regular old Coke that I've found.
love this^

I couldn't care less. Diet Coke is my drug of choice.0

Mine normally has a taste of captain morgan as well, specifically captain morgan private stock.
I heard coke zero has alot more caffiene then normal/diet coke.0 -
Note- food manufacturers (or drink) are allowed a margin of error I believe up or down 5 calories(which is why most pickles say zero calories and most artificial sweeteners as well) they use it to there advantage as expected. so if the serving size has less that 5 calories they can claim zero(pretty sure it's 5, but not 100%)0

it's a beautiful thing.0 -
I don't know what's in it, but I wish I liked it. Coke was the one thing I've always loved to drink, and when I tried to avoid it, I found myself drinking Mountain Dew. Not really an improvement! Coke Zero has a very unappealing taste to me, as does anything diet.0
