coke Zero vs. Diet coke w/splenda
Permalink Closed

has anyone tried the new coke zero?


how does it compare to reg diet coke and diet coke with splenda?


thanks


 


Hot on the heels of Diet Coke With Splenda comes Coca-Cola Zero. Coke Zero is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium (ace-k) and has zero calories. The only chemical difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke is that Coke Zero has about half the aspartame but has more ace-k.


Confused anyone? It's a marketing thing - Coke have manufactured a "diet" coke without using the word diet... which in their eyes will appeal to a different demographic.


So how many options are there now?


Diet Coke
Caffeine Free Diet Coke
Diet Coke with Lime
Diet Coke with Lemon
Diet Cherry Coke
Diet Vanilla Coke
Diet Coke with Splenda
Coca-Cola Zero
Coca-Cola C2
Coca-Cola Classic
Coca-Cola with Lime
Cherry Coke
Vanilla Coke
Caffeine Free Coca-Cola Classic

Interesting, I was wondering what was up with that.


I personally don't like it. I think it's too sweet. FH loves it and swears that it tastes like regular coke. I hate regular coke so that's probably my problem. I like the one with splenda a little better, but not much. I'd say in a range of regular coke to diet coke, you have:


coke, coke zero, diet w/splenda, "regular" diet.

I LOVE regular old fashioned diet coke, and am nerdy enough to have done a taste test (blind taste test, I recruited eye-rolling husband), here is my opinion on both. (Ishould also mention that I used to LOVE regular coke and couldn't stand diet, but after making the switch I can barely get down a sip of regular because it seems so syrup-y)


The Splenda Diet Coke is less fizzy, and I love the diet coke fuzzy bubbly feel. It would probably be okay if I never drank regular diet again.


As for Coke zero, it starts off like diet mixed with a little regular, but half way through the sip it turns full blown syrup-y regular coke.


I know aspertame is supposedly the devil, but I love my diet coke, and will have a hard time switching.

i was skeptical about diet coke with splenda, as i go through about 20 packets of sweet n' low/equal a day.  i really really liked diet coke with splenda.  greendiamond is definitely correct.  it's less fizzy and more sweet than diet coke.  i have always liked diet pepsi better because it is sweeter, so i think the diet coke w/ splenda will work great for me, when i drink soda. 


right now my beverage of choice is iced tea and iced coffee with the mr. coffee ice tea maker.  and diet v8 splash (soooo goood).
