View Full Version : Coca Cola Zero...
Have you tried it?
Whats it like if you have?
Will you if you havn't already?
I'll give it a burl, if you can get "real" tasting Coke with no sugar then i am in !! :D
I imagine that it still uses that artificial sweetner..

Hi
I tried it the other day. I cant stand the taste of diet coke because of the nutrasweet. It was alright but it lacked that refreshing taste that coke gives.
from what I read it's diet coke but uses the coke formula so it tastes like coke :D

never heard of it....I like lime diet coke....sooooooooooooo bad for me:rolleyes:
I bought some last night from Coles...it tastes like real Coke! But less sweet...and there's a slight artificial sweetener aftertaste...but it's better than Diet Coke! :)
It's funny you should mention it, i hadn't heard about it before until DH just bought some! I tried it and i completely agree with Darkstar, tastes just like coke with a slight artificial sweetener after taste!
Sounds like something im going to have to try. im a big diet coke drinker but prefer the coke taste. how bad is the sweetener aftertaste tho?
oh coolies thanks guys i will definantly try it now :D
even though i am on a massive water kick at the moment sometimes you just gotta have some Coke...
Neaby - it will be the ok sweetner for you, the coca-cola company uses one for all their "diet" drinks thats alright in pregnancy
Yep, it's in a black labelled bottle or black cans.
It contains sweeteners 951 and 950, if that helps.
Yep, it's in a black labelled bottle or black cans.
It contains acesulphame potassium (950) and aspartame (951), if that helps.
what is unsafe for you Neaby? :)
In other words, saccharins and cyclamates (like Sweet'n'Low)
I'm converted! Tastes like coke but not so sugary and not as gassy as Diet coke. I always preferred Pepsi Light for that reason but now im going zero!:D Nice can too.

After reading this I think I'm going to have to try it. I'm a huge coke addict and often think I should try to give up as I can't stand Diet coke. Will keep an eye out for htis one.

Just purchased said drink - it is currently in the fridge getting cold. Can't wait.
Apparently it is pretty popular to the point that in our local Safeway the 1.25ltre were sold out within one day on shelf. Due to this they have tons and tons of 2litre bottles and the cases of cans - but still not 1.25ltrs yet!
Only another 1hr to go to try - how exciting.
(Oh I really need a life don't I if I'm getting exicted about a drink - and a non alchoholic one at that!!)
Thanks guys!!
I drink Diet Coke because Coke always leaves my teeth all yuck from the sugar!:( I will definitely be trying this one because the taste of Coke is so much better than Diet Coke!!!

Shouldn't have got that excited.
It does taste like pepsimax.
Wouldn't want to have it on a real hot day - not "refreshing" enough.
Still least kids can have it now.

Hi everyone...
funny you are talking about this - I just bought some today...
I could taste the artificial sweetner - however it's MUCH better than diet coke.
It has a very high sodium count though compared to drinks like pepsi max etc - I think pepsi max had about 4gms of sodium per serve, coke zero had 41!!! Ouch...
But still, I like Coke, but don't want the huge sugar intake... so I'll buy this over Diet Coke any day!
:D

Damn that must've been cold. bit like brain freeze from ice cream

I tried coke zero last night and i found it's very bland.
I would still prefer Diet coke over the zero anyday.:confused:

I agree with you Missunderstood:)
Im with Maxs_MumMy.. Its nice but i prefer diet coke. there is something about that aftertaste im not sure about and it doesn't have that buzz about it like the other stuff

I have to agree with some previous comments, it tastes exactly like Pepsi Max. Not as good as my beloved 'D.C'!

Well, as a 'coke addict' and avid coca cola collector I had to try it sometime.
I agree with everyone, the good and the bad. The aftertaste a bit... meh. But the taste overall is quite good.
I try to drink Diet coke but can't handle it... doesn't have the same 'oomph' that regular coke has. Coke Zero has that without the sugar.
So I'm switching now, hopefully for good :p
so i have tried it now too and i reckon its pretty good !!
Much better than diet coke...
its not real coke thats for sure but i reckon i'll switch :)
I'm a little concerned with the amount of sodium in it...Pepsi and Pepsi Max has about 1/10th of the sodium that Coke and Coke Zero has... :(
yeah it is alot... perhaps something to think about....
The level of sodium is something that concerns me too. I do find it funny tho that someone starts a topic on it and we all rushed to the shops to buy it. Hehe

Don't wanna be a wet blanket, but there are HUGE toxins in diet softdrinks....that increase the possiblity of cancers....Any type of nutrasweet is very bad on that level. Wish I could find the website that has a big blurb about it....anyway, the toxic substance found in fake sugar drinks and foods is called Aspartame. Check this out.......www.holisticmed.com
Take care :)
NOTHING could convince me to give up my diet soft drinks. They are my one vice.
These days everything "could" cause cancer...so until someone shows me the proof, I'm taking my chances.
Having said that, I haven't tried the new Coke :p

I agree!!
I am really sick of being told what is going to give me cancer these days....
No offence Electrajewel i am sure you have the best intentions :)
but if my diet soft drink wont do it then my hairdye will... or maybe my mobile phone?? :rolleyes:
Exunctly :)
And if its mobile phones, I reckon its probably too late for most us! :eek:
Oh yeah if its mobile phones i am STUFFED !!! :eek:
considering i worked with them in repairs for years.....
Hehe, I was in charge of them at work too...whoops!
Ah well, you've gotta die of something I suppose. :rolleyes:
Oh man !! You worked with mobile phones too !! ??
Then you must hate them as much as i do !! ??

I'm a 'normal' coke drinker, but tried it the other day out of curiosity and found it ok...better than diet coke by a mile, but doesn't taste like 'real' coke like it says.....I could put up with it though, just a matter of your taste buds adapting to it.
As for all the 'cancer causing' hype about everything, i agree! You gotta die of something! ;) Seriously...if we listened to it all, we'd be on a diet of well, i dunno really, consideriing just about everything has some kind of chemical or poison used in it to preserve and stuff these days.......:rolleyes:
Yup, I'm soooo over mobile phones. These days its only used for the odd sms message!
Grrrr to Mobile phones **but couldnt live without mine :o *
Shazbutt i think we would all die of starvation if we didnt eat all the stuff that was supposed to give us cancer :rolleyes:
