anyone who drinks diet coke for a long time tends to find full coke too sweet, coke zero tries to taste as much like full coke as possible. I find it too sweet and somehow flatter tasting.
odd, I find them identical - or at least I couldn't tell the difference in a blind test. But then I almost certainly could not tell between Diet Pepsi/Pepsi Max and either of the Cokes
Diet coke tastes of nothing much. Coke Zero, a slightly sweeter nothing taste. Pepsi Max mmm - Cherry Pepsi Max I am addicted to. Pepsi is far sweeter.
Coke does taste better out of glass bottles. No idea why - maybe there is a metallic aftertaste when it comes out of the cans. I'd say glass bottles best, then plastic bottles, then finally cans.
I've just bought a diet coke (caffeine free) to test. It's not as bad as I remember. Just a bit sweetener-y. Have they changed the recipe in the last 30 years or so?
Coke zero sucks
Often think of a liar who claimed to work for coca cola and know that the recipe was identical
LIES
Coke Zero just tastes like Coke to me. Diet Coke tastes more unpleasant. I'm no expert.
CZ and DC taste very different - I'm surprised how different they are, tbh. It's a matter of personal preference ofc, but I much prefer DC.
No it isn't a matter of personal preference, coke zero is disgusting.
Objectively
Coke zero is much closer to full fat coke in taste than diet coke. They are all pretty rank tbh but I had to drink one it would be coke zero.

Nothing beats the elusive Cherry Coke Zero.
yeah, me too. It's gross.

they are identical
it is a marketing trick
one is targeted at men (Zero) the other at women (Diet)
I'm told that zero is made to taste how they would have liked diet to be of they had that sweetener available when they first made diet
they are not identical! They taste very different to each other.
That is simply not the case Jamie, they obviously taste different and have different ingredients.
A rare agree with hank the plank right here. And with Kimmy, zero mingzard
Zero is marketed at men and Diet is marketed at women. But they are not the same product.
I find DC sweeter and it tastes less like the real thing.
I've accidentally drunk cherry zero and it was fvcking rank.
I can even tell the difference between the different kinds of packaging. Coke from a glass bottle tastes like nothing else.

Zero for me. Closest I’ve found to full fat. Can’t stand DC.
agree with sails that coke tastes different out of one of those elegant glass bottles, especially when drunk outside a seaside bar on the med.
but when you've sobered up you realise it's exactly the same.
D.C. every fooking time
On my way to try.
1. diet coke
2. pepsi max
3. coke zero

I love cracking open a cold can of DC, but pour it into a glass to drink it.

Drink water instead. Much better for you.
There’s no caffeine in water and I hate coffee.
Coca Cola has now brought out a brand of caffeinated water.
Is it brown and called “coke”?
Coke Zero is massively better than DC which is rank
another vote for cherry Coke Zero. Tastes a bit like Dr Pepper. Cherry Pepsi max on the other hand tastes like cough mixture. Grim.
Coke Zero is far better than Diet Coke and a lot more like Coke.
Thanks
Another cherry Coke Zero fan here
I had a Coke from a glass bottle whist getting a haircut a few days ago, it's so much nicer from glass than metal.
Diet Coke is Rank. As. Fvck.
Coke Zero is gross
Another vote for coke zero and coke zero cherry. Also had coke zero vanilla but that's best forgotten.
Why are you fighting each other? Can't you see that the real enemy is Pepsi?
