Big difference. I strongly dislike diet Coke but really like Coke zero1

I agree that canned coke zero sugar isn't as.... bubbly? The carbonation isn't as strong, which is a bummer to me. I liked Coke Zero. Used it for caffeine in grad school when coffee would get to be too much.
I grew up with Diet Coke in the house. My dad used it to sub out alcohol when he went sober so buys PALLETS of diet coke at Sam's Club. You'll never see him without one.1 -
I prefer regular Coke, but drink Coke Zero because it's close enough. I used to hate Diet Coke, but have grown to tolerate it when Zero isn't available. I can't really tell the difference between Zero and Zero Sugar unless I taste one, then the other, back-to-back. Otherwise it's too subtle for me to notice.1

I am actually a diet Mt. Dew guy. Even when I get the urge for something different and want a regular soda, I prefer Diet Pepsi as I like the taste better than Coke's offerings. I realize this is a dispute as old as the Ford vs Chevy debate and entirely subjective, but I am firmly in Pepsi Co's camp.
That said, there are obvious situations where I have no choice, and in such situations Coke Zero would be my preference.

I love the Coke Zero Sugar. It's my new addiction - I've never really been that big a fan of Diet Coke.

I used to drink Diet Coke all the time because "I didn't like Pepsi", but then a couple of years ago, Diet Pepsi was the only diet drink available. Now I'm a die-hard Diet Pepsi fan. The best part is that I collect Coca-Cola things. I've been told I'm a bit hypocritical...0

I think there is a nasty after-taste to Diet Coke... I love Coke Zero (with Bourbon). I have seen studies that say your body may spike your GI even with artificial sweeteners, so I try to limit them to 1 per day.0

I drink Pepsi zero sugar and I have collected coca cola stuff for 15 years. You're not a hypocrite you just have good taste, lol0 -
so I used to drink 2-4lts of "fat coke" a day.
when I started counting calories I switched to diet coke and hated it the first 2 times lol
I know drink either diet or zero but if we have any in the house it will be zero because the husband prefers it.
anyway after making the switch 3 years ago I know cant drink fat coke! when I was given some it tasted sooooo sweet and almost felt thick to swollow safe to say Im sticking with diet and zero1 -
Coke Zero, I have been drinking for quite some time, it is the only soda other than Fresca that I will drink0

Coke Zero Sugar tastes a lot better than Diet Coke personally. If I get it at a soda fountain and they have it I put in vanilla and cherry flavoring. Easily makes it even better!
Pepsi Zero Sugar is my favorite, though. It tastes more like Pepsi to me than Coke Zero does Coke.2 -

I'd encourage EVERYONE to drop soda altogether. It leeches Calcium out of your bones, and there has never been an additive so actively investigated as Nutra-sweet (and it's derivatives) since the inception of the FDA. IMHO, diet pop is a Chemical poop storm...11

The fact that artificial sweeteners are so extensively researched is actually a point in *favor* of the argument that diet soda isn't harmful. I'm confused as to how you could spin it otherwise.
Everything is made of chemicals. If avoiding chemicals is your goal, you'll die of dehydration way before diet soda would ever knock you down.3 -

The only thing even moderately interesting/factual in your post is the correlation between phosphoric acid and calcium deficiency.4 -
I base my general opinions (Humble as I stated) from several discussions with Nutritionists, health care workers, and doctors that I know or see.
Here is an in-depth look at a Documentary titled "Sweet Misery" https://youtu.be/ZI7_8FDzuJE
I also saw a family member stumble around as if having suffered a stroke for a few months before they "got off" of diet soda and have seen first hand a remarkable improvement in their cognitive function.
It was enough for me to stay away. Just a difference of opinions I guess.

I think when we base widespread conclusions about what foods to eat or avoid on the experiences of a single family member, we can often draw incorrect conclusions or at least conclusions based on insufficient information.
There is a reason why the most trustworthy nutritional studies or studies on the potential harm of a food or medicine include large numbers of subjects.10
