I'm quite pleased with Coke Zero

This new years I made it my resolution to quit eating McDonalds (all fast food really) and I've kept to it so far. The big advantage is that it's always easy to fill yourself up with just about any kind of and your craving goes away.

I've realized I've become a little addicted to soft drinks in general and the craving doesn't really go away when I have water or some kind of juice.

Hopefully over time I'll be able to just cut soft drinks out completely, but for now, Coke Zero helps...

I thought it didn't taste close enough to the real deal but might need to give it another try.

I gotta cut back on my sugar intake and soda is the #1 biggest problem.

The "Zero" soft drinks are the only sugar free type I'll drink. :thumbsup:

Its not bad.
I switched to drinking things like crystal light.
Soft drinks do have way too much sugar.

out of a can or bottle, the coke zero and cherry coke zero products are great

out of a fountain, they're not as good :( (or maybe its just the fountain we have here at work)

be cautious though, recent studies show that high intake of artificial sweeteners may actually cause you to eat more than you normally would

I was pleasantly surprised at how good coke zero tasted. Though the rum may have had something to do with it.

Coke Zero is regular coke with sweetener instead of corn syrup.
Diet Coke is a different formula.

Coke Zero, to me, definitely tastes close to regular Coke. I hate Diet Coke.

I remember years ago in college were we had a class party. Coke Zero just came out and was on sale at safeway. I got two 2L bottles. Nobody touched the stuff. I think people back then knew the sweetener they put in coke zero causes cancer.

Coke Zero has zero calories compared to diet coke with 1 calorie for 12 oz.

Diet Pepsi Max has been my new "diet cola" overload.

I thought Coke Zero was a brand new product... Maybe it's just new to Canada?

I try and stay away from all soft drinks but I ocassionally break down. When I do I usually go for Coke Zero, tastes fantastic.

I like Coke Zero. However I was a little disappointed with the Cherry Coke Zero. It seems to me that it just needs a little more cherry in it. I prefer Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry vs. Cherry Coke Zero.

Coke zero is a good effort, but still can't touch classic.

Its good enough for me to get it late at night but not enough for me to have it with lunch.

Coke Zero is definitely far superior to Diet Coke. It's not quite like Classic, but it's pretty close.

Diet Pepsi Max is good too, but it seems to be pretty hard to find around here most of the time.

Coke Zero is the only "diet"-aimed soda I haven't hated. All the real diet coke/pepsi's suck.

Right now I'm trying to stay away from soda; cutting it off slowly. I recently had a nutrition/health epithany so I tried to cut soda out of my diet completely. Well, long story short, it didn't go well. For the 5 days I didn't have at least 1 'hit', I could barely get through the day. Even though I woke up at 11am, I was dead tired by 7pm. Now, just keeping to one a day max as opposed to two for the last 10 years.
