Yes, you have to get Caffeine Free Diet Coke if you want caffeine free.



Pretty much lol

Use sprite it'll actually taste good.


Or drink it straight, it'll actually taste good.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Coke Zero doesn't have any sugar either

I know I drink it a few times a month. I just think it taste kind of funny and not like "Coke" my hope is Coke: no sugar is closer to Coke.

 

[peteykirch]

Pepsi Max is fantastic. I put it above regular coke zero, but put Cherry Coke zero above both because of the cherry flavor. If Pepsi Max cherry were available in my market I imagine it would take the top spot for me.

The best was the Pepsi Max Cease Fire which was pretty Pepsi Max + Lime

there's gonna be riots

Nah, they are not gonna do this.

Ew and ew.

Vodka and Sprite makes me gag

We've already went through this in Mexico a couple of months back. I was a big Coke Zero fan for when I went to the movies and bottled water was more expensive than anything.

But, so far, the No Sugar version tastes the same, or almost the same and there haven't been any complaints, people are buying it just the same. No big deal, although Coke Zero promised "zero calories", while that's not exactly the same with No Sugar, although it has almost no calories as well.

Whatever, just drink water y'all.

 

[border]

I am mostly astounded by the stupid, stupid name. "Coca Cola No Sugar" is so lazy. Anybody watching their sugar/calorie intake is going to know which sodas are diet. They're not so ignorant that they need to be specifically instructed which drink does not contain sugar.

Might as well have called it "Coca Cola Drink This Instead, Fatso."

 

[Sini]

I've never tried Zero so I might seek it out before it disappears. But I'll probably just forget about all this in a hour because I drink maybe 12l of soda per year.

 

[BurritoBushido]

Multiple times I have sipped a Coke Zero and was convinced it was regular coke. If No Sugar is a better formula than that, sign me up

Whatever, just drink water y'all.

I'm a human being with a palate. Sometimes I want to drink something that has flavor, satiates my sweet tooth and isn't full of sugar.

I may drink diet beverages but I also drink water, seltzer, coffee, tea, and almond milk. I like to change it up.

I had Pepsi Max Cherry while in London a couple of months ago. Best soda ever.

 

[The Giant]

Why do us Aussies always have to be guinea pigs when it comes to soft drinks?

 

[-MB-]

Recently had a can of Pepsi Max Cherry, and I did not like the taste of it at all ( I don't like the taste of Pepsi in general).
They started selling CC Zero Cherry here recently too, and I love it, it be a shame if they stopped making it.

 

[adamsappel]

I believe that Pepsi Max is formulated differently between US and Europe as well, and is now known in the states as Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Folks will drink Coke no matter what happens.

 

[seat]

Better keep Cherry Coke Zero around if they want to keep their Catholic customers.

 

[elfinke]

What is this nonsense? Diet Coke taste significantly better than Coke and Coke Zero. It's not even a competition really.

Totally agree. Zero is trash.

That said, I look forward to trying whatever this turns out to be

 

[water_wendi]

Diet Coke is fine but Zero tastes better. Cherry Zero is the best though however it sucks at the Freestyle machine because of the cherry flavoring difference. Diet Pepsi and Max used to be good until they changed the recipe/aspartame change.. tastes horrible after the switch.

Dont care about name change.

 

[Easy_D]

Do you think aspartame or sucralose is cheaper than HFCS?



lol this plus the "Coke Zero tastes like asshole" guy: Some dramatic-ass people in this thread.

I wasn't being overly dramatic though, whatever sugar substitute used in Pepsi Max has a distinct, moldy taste, it's barely there, so it does taste good until you notice it, I would be completely down with Max if I didn't get that horrid aftertaste lol.

How is my personal subjective experience dramatic? Is it because you feel it doesn't fit within your view of the world and the importance of Pepsi Max? Who's really dramatic here ;P

 

[kudoboi]

Coke Zero does have aspartame. Where in the world does it not have aspartame?

The ones in Singapore don't seem to have it

 

[Chojin]

The ones in Singapore don't seem to have it

Same in the Philippines. Think its just sucralose. Though honestly only places I seem to reliably get Coke Zero is here in Atlanta or the Philippines.

Back in south Dakota its diet coke if they're carrying coke products at all. I noticed that in California as well.

 

[Occam]

Good news: Seems I was right. In Europe, the new version is called Coca Cola Zero Sugar (not Coca Cola No Sugar) and it was introduced late last year, pretty much without anyone noticing.

https://translate.google.com/transl...urch-neue-sorte-52111164.bild.html&edit-text=

So that's it, no need to worry. We'll still have Coke Zero (and with better taste), it'll just have a different name in some locations.

 

[Alienfan]

Not sure if anyone has gotten a chance to try this yet, but it definitely tastes different from coke zero. I'd describe it as watered down regular coke, that smells a bit like Dr Pepper. It's the closet a diet soft drink has tastes to real sugar

You are right. I hadn't even noticed it.

I also found out there is this:

I might try that one.

 

[moffattron9000]

Tried it. Coke Zero is better. Then again, Coke Zero apparently only really caught on in New Zealand, so I guess that it has to go away.

 

[navii]

Tried it today. The aftertaste ruins it for me. My colleague also mentioned a strong aftertaste. I'll continue drinking Coke Zero.

 

[Replicant]

Tried it as well today. It tastes like normal Coke that I can't help but wonder if I'm actually drinking sugar. Fizziness/Carbonation is a lot stronger and closer to actual Coke than Coke Zero.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Tried it today. The aftertaste ruins it for me. My colleague also mentioned a strong aftertaste. I'll continue drinking Coke Zero.

Until they completely pull it, which is what they're working towards.

I tried this yesterday, was surprised at how much I liked it. And I had just gotten used to Coke Zero.

EDIT: And now after drinking the Zero Sugar I suddenly can't stand the taste of Zero. Odd.

 

[Giolon]

Tried it side by side with Coke Zero, and to me they taste the same except Zero Sugar must taste sweeter by drinking old Coke Zero afterwards made it taste bad all of a sudden. They both have the same weird artificial sugar aftertaste.

I'll still stick with regular Coke as long as I can.

 

[Jason Frost]

Pepsi rebranded Pepsi Max to "Pepsi Zero" in the last few months actually.

Was this planned before or after Coca-Cola decided to retire Coke Zero?

Well, shit.

 

[Astral Dog]

I heard Coke Zero gives cancer Long live No Sugar! 🙌

 

[Romars202129]

Resurrecting because Coke No Sugar finally came to my town.
Just taste tested against Pepsi Max, which I vastly preferred to old Coke Zero and...

I think we got a winner! Its close, but I think I prefer coke, either way, its a big improvement over zero imo

 

[C-Drive]

I hated Coke Zero.


As long as it's COLD, Coke Zero Sugar is pretty damn close to the real thing to me.

 

[TheCochese]

Tried it today. The aftertaste ruins it for me. My colleague also mentioned a strong aftertaste. I'll continue drinking Coke Zero.

Da fuq? Coke Zero had way more aftertaste and during taste. This is a marked improvement.

 

[witness]

Found a 20oz a few days ago, and as much as I loved Coke Zero....this is much better! Pretty damm close to OG Coke and a much more subtle after taste. Hope this gets out to stores and restaurants quickly.

 

[RoninChaos]

I know I drink it a few times a month. I just think it taste kind of funny and not like "Coke" my hope is Coke: no sugar is closer to Coke.

Tried some the other day. It seems to taste more like coke and doesn't have the aftertaste issue Coke Zero had.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Tried a bottle of it yesterday. It was... okay. Tasted basically like Coke Zero, albeit with a little more of a traditional Coke aftertaste. Still need to try it out of a can tho.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

I dont know, I thought it tasted like shit. Tasted like a regular shitty diet drink rather than Coke Zero.

 

[Feep]

I couldn't directly compare, but I had a bottle of Zero Sugar today and it tasted exactly like Coke Zero. I never would have noticed the difference, sans label.

 

[Samus4145]

I had Pepsi Max Cherry while in London a couple of months ago. Best soda ever.

It sure is, yet Pepsi refused to stock it in NY. Have to travel to CT or NJ to find one.

 

[Turbo Killer]

Tasted it, tastes a little more like regular Coke and it didn't have the aftertaste of Zero (I hated that), I think I like it.

 

[Howard Ballou]

Tasted it, tastes a little more like regular Coke and it didn't have the aftertaste of Zero (I hated that), I think I like it.

Same, picked up a 2 liter a few days ago and it's been decent so far. I was skeptical, but I don't think I'll miss Coke Zero.

 

[TheZink]

To me it tastes like Coke Zero with the aftertaste of Diet Coke(which is disgusting). I prefer the old formula personally.

 

[jstripes]

Tried it last weekend. Same terrible artificial taste. Original Coke for life.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

The whole point of Coke Zero was to release a No Sugar Coke that tasted like Coke. It didnt achieve that. The whole advertisement campaign for Zero was Its Coke but without sugar.

See, to me, it tastes like regular Coke.

This new replacement is garbage, and I've already decided to hard pass after trying it a few times. It just sucks.

 

[Community Forum]

I've gone through two 12-packs of cans, and 8 20-oz bottles since this came out.

The taste and mouthfeel is closer to regular Coke, and is much more smooth without that strange biting chemically aftertaste that Coke Zero has. They knocked it out of the park with this.
