Coke Zero, what do you think?

**Merlin** · June 22nd, 2005, 11:11 AM

Have any of you been able to try the new Coke Zero yet? I found some at Wallyworld the other day and personally, I like it much better than either of the Diet Cokes (Equal or Splenda sweetened). To me it tastes more like regular Coke than either of the other two. What do you guys think?

I haven't tried it. Might have to.

Curious has anybody seen the Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper in a non diet version? I went to the website and apparently it exists, but I haven't found it around here.

I've not seen the regular Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper around her either, but I have seen it...maybe in Ky or Tenn.

Basically Coke Zero is another form of Diet Coke....no calories, etc., but with a somewhat different taste. To me it most closely resembles Coke's version of Pepsi One, but I think Coke's is actually better.

I haven't found it yet, and dang it, I want to try it. Sounds like it would be good, I mean Dr. Pepper, good. Cherry, good. Vanilla, good. What's not to like [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've tried the Coke with Splenda - not too bad. (Splenda is about the only diet sweetener I can tolerate...for the most part.)
Then I tried Coke Zero - which is part nutrasweet, part something else. It surprised me - I think it tasted better than the Coke with Splenda.
So now they have:
Coke
Diet Coke (bleh!!)
C2 (not too bad)
Coke With Splenda
Coke Zero

It's ok not the best I've had.

I never liked either of the other Diet Cokes and have been drinking Diet Pepsi for some time now. But, now Coke has something available that I like nearly, if not as much, as the Pepsi product.

Coke finally seems to be improving some of their offerings, which hasn't really been the case for some time now IMO. Their real problem now is all these semi-different versions of the same thing. Hopefully, they can weed out some of them and keep moving forward. Honestly, Pepsi has been kicking their tails for some time now in both the varieties and quality of their new soft drink flavors. It's good to see Coca-Cola finally getting something right.
