Coke Zero

[Pariah]

Coke with no calories? Okay, what's the catch? How many ways is this going to ruin my health? Or, is it truly a wonder-cola that can be consumed without remorse?

 

[Bada0Bing]

Is that the stuff with splenda?

It uses aspertame just like Diet Coke. I really don't get it. Just marketing.

i thought so at first, until i remembered the odd subset of people who actually prefer the way diet coke tastes to actual coke. coke zero is supposed to be for people who like the taste of regular coke (read: normal people), but who don't want the calories.

It's still primarily aspertame, but they mix some other sweetener with it as well that masks the aspertame aftertaste with its own aftertaste.

Here's the other sweetener: Ace-K is what it is called.

My primary question wasn't called out as such in the original post. Can I drink a 12-pack of this and not gain weight?

 

[jenna2891]

i heard it doesn't *really* taste like coke, but it's close enough to make it worth it.

it doesn't really matter to me, i can't have any of it. i'm allergic to aspertame.

yes. think of it as a different flavor of diet coke.

Columbia experimented with coke zero.... wasn't a success in the least

BTW, this reminds me of those non alcoholic beer commercials, "What beer drinkers drink when their not drinking beer." WTF does that even mean?

Is this "what coke drinkers drink, when their not drinking coke?"

That's because we don't really pay attention to what you post.

I got a free sample of this crap when it came out. It is N-A-S-T-Y.

Then how do you know what it tastes like?

I happen to agree, I think Coke Zero tastes pretty darn close to regular coke. It's just missing that bite at the end.

Is that how you know about this?

Thank god. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and go, "oh my god. I've just ruined DDogg's marriage by admitting his wife slept with me. She told me never, ever to tell him."

[Gee!]

Whats the capital of Jabooty? Jabooty! Jabooty is the the capital of Jabooty! I gotta mind like a steel trap!

 

[thirty-two]

Coke Zero is flat out disgusting.

Jasom Coke Zero freaking rules. Almost as good as real coke but none of the calories! We consume much of it in this household. I alos like Coke with Splenda. Also tastes much like real coke!

I will buy both depending on whats in stock.
