I prefer diet. I think because I grew up drinking it. In general, I like aspartame more than splenda, and i like both more than regular pop. Most people I know though prefer coke zero over diet.1

I think the Coke Zero tastes better.2

I only like the sugar laden Coke. But I’ve stopped drinking soda pop altogether, except for special times. I don’t misss it any more!2

Coke Zero for me1

Coke No Sugar (I think it's called Coke Zero Sugar in the US, and is replacing Coke Zero).1

It's been replaced, sure places are selling out of old stock. New coke zero sugar is pretty good tho. First time I tried it was in the can and felt like it was lacking effervescence but recently got it in the bottles, was way better.0 -
Diet.
Dislike Coke Zero. Hate No Sugar Coke (and their new version with coffee is weird)1 -
coke zero had a lot more caffeine. just kick the soda habit.4

Not important on a website forum focused on health and weight. It's like saying Herrs BBQ chips vs. Lays BBQ chips?
Those sodas aren't calorie free by the way. A single splenda, equal, or other comparable sugar substitute is 4 calories per gram. Acid reflux is awful and has been linked to soda intake. You create other long term issues by drinking something lower calorie and shaving 100 calories off your day.25 -
They were giving out sugar free diet coke yesterday in my local shopping centre/mall. I am not a fan normally of diet drinks but i actuqlly liked this one, yes, nothing will ever replace the sugar laden coke but this one was actually nice. I like it when they have stalls with people giving out free samples of drinks because i believe in trying before buying. I do the same on makeup counters where they give you a 10 day sample of foundation.2

It's actually the same amount in both.

Coke no sugar. I find it doesn't have the nasty aftertaste that zero and diet have.0

@sixxpoint
Artificial sweeteners are far sweeter than sugar so far less by weight is used.
For example Stevia is 250-300 times sweeter than sugar.
So although diets drinks aren't zero calorie they are minimal calories.7 -

And a whole can of diet coke contains something like 0.2 grams. 4 times 0.2 = less than 1 calorie for the whole can vs. the 30+ grams of sugar = 120 in regular.9 -
Coke zero for life. Coke zero sugar which replaced coke zero tastes almost the same to me. I drink several cans a day.2

Actually, Coke Zero has 35mg while Diet Coke has 46mg.
I prefer Coke Zero taste-wise.1 -

1 pack of splenda is about 4 calories. Not zero. I know thats nitpicking, but many people don't know that. I don't know how many grams of sucralose they use per 2 liter bottle, but it adds up if you're drinking that daily.7 -

4 calories per litre of Pepsi Max minus the calories burned walking to the fridge, minus the calories used to heat the cold liquid up to body temperature, minus the calories walking to the toilet some time later.....
It's really not worth bothering about.7 -

I prefer not to drink anything while in the can....4 -

A pack of splenda contains filler material because you'd have problems using appropriate amounts of pure sucralose (600 times sweeter than sugar). 1 teaspoon of sugar = 0.008 grams of sucralose. You don't have that problem with already made sodas cause they make thousands of liters in bulk and can just use the pure stuff.
It doesn't add up. You'd die of water poisoning before it added up to anything meaningful.5 -
I hate regular coke. Always have. I like both, but prefer Diet Coke0

Aware. I'm strictly talking calories. Sucralose is not zero calories like everyone thinks it is. It is nitpicking, but I just wanted to emphasize that for someone drinking liters of it per day thinking it adds nothing to their calorie count.8 -

It pretty much adds nothing. You could be equally concerned about the trace calories from making tea or black coffee.7 -

In Australia it's No Sugar Coke. One of our major supermarkets refuses to sell it, and the still have zero. I don't like zero and I like no sugar even less.0 -
I like the coke zero sugar better than the coke zero. I have never been a fan of coke (bad experience as a child) but when diet pepsi changed their formula I tried other kinds. I couldn't drink the plain coke zero but could handle the cherry zero and the vanilla zero. I tried he coke zero sugar to see what the change was and now have that too. I would say to try one and see if you like it.

The four calories in a packet of Splenda are from filler material, not the trace amount of sucralose.

You're not going to get enough sucralose from a Diet Pepsi for the calories to add up. You burn as much getting up and getting it out of the fridge as you get from the pop.Noreenmarie1234 wrote: »Anyone try the coke zero sugar that is replacing coke zero?

I loved Coke Zero and the new Coke Zero Sugar is actually even better. It's even closer to the taste of real Coke than before. Total win.0 -

Who said anything about drinking "liters" of diet soda a day??? And even so , you're talking about maybe 5-10 calories.
OP, Coke Zero for me. Fingers crossed I still like Coke Zero Sugar. I'll drink Diet Coke if that's what is avail, but I think it has more of an aftertaste. Also love Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet A&W Root Beer. Variety is the spice of life :drinker:5
