Compsognathus 04/12/24 10:38:27 AM #12:	Diets sodas are basically out-of-date tech. When they went on the market they tried to get as close to the taste of sugar sodas as they could, but they were still fairly limited. Diet Coke taste distinctly different than Coca-Cola. The ability to replicate regular soda tastes with zero calories has gotten a lot better in modern times. But as I mentioned above, Diet Coke has a distinct taste that has developed its own loyal fans. So even though Coke has made a diet Coke that taste much closer to Coca-Cola, they just can't replace Diet Coke with it. So you get an entirely new line of diet sodas with the Zero label instead. There is also an added benefit in marketability. Diet sodas were heavily marketed to women back in the day, so much so that they picked up a stigma of being an effeminate drink that still persists even after marketing went more gender neutral. The Zero line gave a more masculine diet soda option with none of the diet baggage. Heck Pepsi arguably leaned in too hard with diet soda for dudes with Pepsi Max, which later got rebranded as Pepsi Zero Sugar when that became the favored industry term. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:979870147] in Do you dri...

But I have been trying to keep my blood sugar down, so for a couple years I have only had the Zero versions. Now I am thinking of stopping even those, because I have read a lot about how the sugar substitutes are just as bad or worse for you long term. I would have a dreadful time kicking this habit, but I might try. Coke Zero used to be my favorite, but they changed the formula and now I hate it. Pepsi Zero is good.
