Coke Zero was invented because "diet" was an unpopular buzzword in the male demographioc.

But Coke Zero really does taste better than Diet Coke, not that that's saying much. Both are better than that Coke Life garbage.

They tried something like this once in 1985.

Let's just say that the South had a hissy-fit over it.

And yet, there is virtually no stigma at all, for drinking diet sodas.

Coke Zero was def marketed to men with the black cans and the zero name. it was also a totally different recipe from Diet Coke--meant to taste like actual Coke Classic but with artificial sweetener, whereas Diet Coke tastes like New Coke.

Agreed, I like it better than zero, and no weird sweeteners. Full sugar is too much, no sugar is too fake.

Even changing the quantity of one ingredient slightly can be considered a different recipe, even if overall it's basically the same.

Who cares though, most of the people who will buy this are probably people who already drink Coke Zero. Maybe some people will try it one time to see what the new formula tastes like - and if it tastes closer to Coke than the old Coke Zero did and earns some new regular customers, I'd say that's a success beyond just branding

Because soda has a ridiculous amount of calories


I wish they'd make soda with Stevia or something.

There's a few stevia sodas here. Zevia is one big brand. Their ginger root beer is great

I can get a 4 pack for $3-4 or cold singles at some grocery stores for $1. So a bit pricier, but no worries about weird stuff in their soda, and probably cheaper still for you.

You should be able to find it at Safeway, Frys, or CVS. or Whole Foods if you want to go that way (they probably have other stevia soda there)

You didn't make that clear. You said regular soda has too many calories and you wanted something with stevia, so I told you something that has fewer calories and stevia

I hate that people have been convinced that aspartame is bad for you. Its unfounded.

I will never argue with anyone saying that water is better for you, but diet sodas are fine. And to say that theyre worse than regular soda is ridiculous.

No real evidence of that.

Anyway, if it's just rebranding, we'll see how similar it is. Pepsi just changed Pepsi Max to Pepsi Zero or something, anyway.

I've tried Truvia which is Stevia sweetened. It's notably less sweet even compared to diet sodas. That's probably Coke wouldn't do a stevia-only soda.

I've only ever heard that you'd need to ingest some nearly impossible amount of aspartame for it to have any negative effect on your health and you could say that about anything.
