    There is thid one diet cream soda i adore its got no aspertine (however you spell it) in it which i love

    I usually like cream sodas, Do you remember the brand name?

    I love Dr. Brown's diet cream soda, but can never find it. There's a Zevia one (maybe the one meant, as they all have stevia as the sweetener), but I don't like it nearly as much.

    bbell, is the diet chocolate fudge one Canfield's? That was really popular a million years ago when I was in high school and I loved it then and am scared but curious to try it again.

    I'm not sure. There was a big bear on it.

    Polar makes one, the company that makes the seltzer water. It is really good, one of the best diet cream sodas, I never checked to see what sweetener is uses.

    I'm Diet Coke all the way. I only go for Coke Zero when I'm trying to cut back a bit on caffeine and the caffeine free Diet Coke isn't available. Coke Zero has just slightly less caffeine. My work only has Pepsi products so I've grown to accept Diet Cherry Pepsi.

    On Wednesday, Coca-Cola announced that it would stop selling Coke Zero in the US in August, replacing it with a beverage with a different recipe, design, and name: Coke Zero Sugar.

    "It is a reinvention of Coke Zero," CEO James Quincey said in a call with investors.

    According to Coca-Cola, Coke Zero Sugar is closer to the taste of Coca-Cola Original. However, with zero sugar and zero calories, the drink also appeals to customers who are seeking lower-sugar options.

    Coke Zero is already a major hit outside of America, with growth figures reaching the teens. In the US, Coke Zero sales grew 3.5% in 2016, compared to Diet Coke's drop of 1.9% in the same time period.

    WTF WTF WTF. Very unhappy about this. Thought it was going to have same recipe but just new name. Nope.

    i think i said this somewhere else on the thread... it tastes identical to coke zero. i've been drinking it for over a year and didn't even notice when they transitioned it in my area.

    That's odd; the articles I've seen are saying it has the same ingredients: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/07/26/coca-cola-zero-sugar-cokes-hot-new-soda-isnt-actually-that-new-at-all/?utm_term=.0d1b28cd154b

    Well I hope it tastes the same b/c when I hear "new recipe" it sounds like it won't even if the ingredients are the same.....

    Coke light is a little bit better IMO.

    No haven't tried it.vanilla coke zero is my fav

    But, have you guys tried CHERRY VANILLA Coke Zero?! It's my go-to at the Coke mix machines. It's the best of both worlds, if that world isn't going to include Diet Dr. Pepper.

    Many years ago, I found Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper in a little desert shop in California and my world was changed, lol.

    Cherry Coke Zero is my favorite. Zevia Ginger Ale is really good, too!

    As long as it tastes the same I don't care what they call it.

    I think it tastes different to coke zero. I'm a diet coke drinker, but tolerate zero if I have no choice (beats Pepsi).... No sugar coke tasted wrong, and I'd not choose to drink it again.
