    Coke Zero > all. Nuff said.

    Coke Zero is the business, 85% as tasty as coke but none of the calories, I drink 3 bottles a day

    First off, sorry to burst you bubble folk but AFAIK there's no such thing as sugar free coke. If they contain caramel, and I've yet to see one that's found another way to give it the brown colour (hence the AFAIK), then they contain roasted sugar. I know someone who used to work in the Coca-Cola factory and this is how they made it. This would also be why any form of coke drink will leave a surface it's spilled on sticky. Basically they're using semantics to say there's no SUCROSE (table sugar), however there is still sugar (as in members of the chemical family sugar), which your body will still accept as such and treat as such (converting it to fat if there is no need for the sugar), diet coke of any form is just removing the use of sugar as a sweetening agent.
    Coke Zero doesn't leave your hands or a surface sticky if you spill it. Also, it comes in manly black cans and bottles, and tastes pretty damn good. Not as good a real coke but not far off, and it tastes a million times nicer than diet coke.

    Still contains caramel as the colouring though if you wikipedia it, ergo still has sugar in it.

    In MacDonalds yesterday with my wee boy. Ordered a double Quarter Pounder meal with Diet Coke. Why, because I prefer the taste!

    Find Coke very gassy. Pepsi is my favourite and Diet Coke is my substitute if places don't do it.

    *looks up dictionary*


    Oh..... sweet..... Jesus! :eek:


    You Diet Coke drinkers are sick....... SICK, I tells ya! :D

    Full fat, full sugar, 110%, diabeties-inducing Coke for me all the time, every time! Accept no substitutes, folks! :D

    Sigh, if you don't know the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke, here it is.

    Coke and Diet Coke are two different drinks with different tastes.
    Some people want the taste of Coke but not the uber calories. A reasonable request.

    So Coke Zero is an attempt to have the same taste as Coke without the excess calories.
    So there shouldn't be a difference in taste between Coke and Coke Zero and if there is, well that wasn't the plan.

    Whatever happened to Coke Vanilla, the Coke of the gods!

    Shudder, I hated Diet Coke adulterated with anything, now I just can not stand Diet Coke, if you take away the fizz it tastes horrible.

    who the fuck do you think you are calling a troll? you obviously haven't read the thread.

    dublindude stated that diet coke and coke zero are the same drink in different bottles when any idiot knows they aren't. (apart from you and him apparently)


    I'm gonna bet it all, that you aren't half as threatening in real life. Being behind a computer really makes some men grow a set real quick....


    I was referring to the fact that someone said that Diet Coke contains artificial sweeteners while Coke Zero doesn't. They both use different types of artificial sweeteners, and thats what accounts for the difference in taste.




    Next time don't be so quick to act tough. If you are starting arguments with people through an internet forum, you're not tough.

    You're a womans drink, Naikon :mad:

    Meh, they're all fairly crap tasting to be honest.

    Normal Coke is bearable. Diet Coke is manky, the sweetener is horrible. I tried Coke Zero once and its not as nice as normal coke but bearable.

    Anyway Cadet American Soda for the win.

    who is acting tough? not me. I just called you on posting rubbish. I also didn't start an argument, you did by totally misreading the thread and calling me a troll.

    now you are saying you were talking about something totally different and basically admitting you didn't read the thread properly while still acting like a fool. great show.
