Apparently the recipe changed for Coke Zero, and I'm not a big fan of it anymore. It tastes watered down. I still prefer “zero” to “diet”, but the changes make it taste more like the diet. It comes down to marketing though. “Diet” labels imply reduction of sugar or something “bad”, not total elimination of sugar, and it implies that the person consuming it must be “on a diet.” Marketing to those caught up in dieting fads isn't as effective as it was in the ‘90s. Speaking from personal experience, I'm more interested in drinking a beverage without sugar because I don't want to consume a bunch of liquid sugar, but I do want something flavorful and carbonated, not because I'm “dieting.” There's also been plenty of times I've hung out with friends who are sober and want a fun drink, but not with sugar, and not something labeled “diet.” Coke & Pepsi would be better off ditching the “diet” label altogether and sticking with “zero.” It's truth in advertising and more appealing. Having a “diet” and “zero” line seems unnecessary. I overall enjoy Coke Zero and Coca-Cola brand sodas, but there's room to improve.

This right here is my go-to soda when I crave or want soda. I don't drink soda on a regular basis but if I do cave in I usually go for Coke Zero. I got used to this after my friend who was watching his weight only had these in his fridge. Eventually it tasted like regular Coke, but obviously if you drink them side by side you taste the difference. I love this soda.

I think this is by far the closest coke has come to duplicating the flavor of regular coke with none of the sugar and other stuff I don't want. It has a great cola taste (like regular coke) but is nicely lighter. No odd after taste either. I really, really like it.

We have been drinking Coke Zero for two years now. I always get asked how they taste and I have to say that Coke Zero taste just like regular Coke. Cans are my go to since I can't drink a full 16oz bottle. Can't make me drink anything other than Coke Zero.

Refreshing beverage that will boost you because of the caffeine but won't affect your physical appearance after long time usage because of the zero sugar content. I recommend to drink it cold for even more freshness. Low price that have increased very little over the years

Gonna start out with saying that it's not exactly the same as classic Coke. HOWEVER, it's gonna be the closest thing you can get to the real thing. I love a zero sugar soda but this one is definitely one of my tops. Love that I can enjoy a Coke without all the sugar and guilt that usually comes along with it lol.

My favorite it tastes so refreshing, its not flat carbonation is spot on. I usually buy it by the bottles but I noticed they have changed the color of the can to red. Love the zero sugar, since mine runs high. Price seems to be going up like everything in the world.

To me, the old Coke Zero has a smoother taste than the new version. I would never say old Coke Zero tastes like a full-sugar soft drink, but it's an acceptable alternative. The new formula has an unfamiliar spiciness to it that I didn't love, though. It didn't make me think of full-sugar Coke, just of a different diet soda.

Literally the only fizzy drink i will touch. I have gone through phases with every fizzy drink out there but coke zero has been my one and only for many many years now. The taste is incredible, theres zero sugar or sugar tax and the price point is incredible

This is one of my very favorite sugar free drinks. My only gripe is that it has a lingering aftertaste that can taste kind of metallic. Since sugar makes me super sick, this is the way to go! I wish it were possible to get a zero sugar flavor identical to the original, but I am still happy.
