Coke Zero really does taste like regular coke.

Incorrect. Soda contains mostly water, and has virtually the same nutritional value of water.

You get shipwrecked on a deserted island with no fresh water and you have to survive a week, would you rather have a few bottles of coke or would you rather have 3 lbs of lean ground chicken?


If you really meant soda offers no nutritional value other than that of the water it contains, I'll agree with that. In which case my comparison is equally valid. Beef has no nutritional value other than the proteins and vitamins it contains. If you can get the same proteins and vitamins from a whey protein shake, without the fats, why eat beef?

If you just want to eat the absolute healthiest things you can, I'd agree with you. But, if variety and taste matter, it doesn't matter if one drink is .05% more healthy than the alternative.

I agree with you.

And a big part of why Coke is bad is the calories. Coke Zero has no calories. That doesn't mean chugging a 12 pack a day is a good idea, but nothing done in excess is a good idea.

I hate the taste of most diet soda so much that I'd rather just drink water, but it seems that Coke really did something right when they made Zoke Zero.

Anyone else agree?

No.

I find drinking coke to be incredibly stupid. It doesn't quench your thirst, it doesn't taste all that good, and it offers 0 nutritional value. Wtf is the point?

This is a bulletproof argument. In fact, you'd almost have to argue that those who did enjoy coke, well, disagreed with your personal taste. And wtf would be the point in that?

Never tried one. Then again, I don't drink soda that often, maybe 2-3 cans of soda a year if that. After reading all the shit soda does to the body, I always grab a bottle of water.

I agree. In fact, I'm going to go get one from the fridge now.

Doesn't taste like regular coke. And why bother drinking diet soda? It's worse for your teeth than it is for your BMI, unless you drink 10 a day or something (I have some teachers who do this, actually - their doctors told them to drink diet/less of it).

 

[AlienCraft]

I agree.

But it's still not as good as old school sugar coke.

Coke Zero tastes more like Coke used to taste, but it still leaves an aftertaste. Coke Zero doesn't use Splenda (sucralose), it uses aspartame and ace-k as its sweeteners.

I think the current version of Coke Classic tastes slightly sour. Anyone else?

Coke Zero is awesome, so is Sprite Zero. They did a great job on the Zero products IMHO.

 

[secretanchitman]

coke > coke zero.

i mean it tastes similar...but its just that hopeless aftertaste that kills it for me.

QFT

It's now my soda of choice when buying the 12packs. Regular Coke and Cherry Coke still taste better, but Cherry Coke is almost as good but w/out the calories.

You are wise.

I don't care for Coke Zero. I did really like Coke w/ Splenda. That tasted very close to regular Coke, but I can't find it anywhere.

So I drink Diet Dr. Pepper.
