Anybody try the new diet coke "zero"
I had one yesterday and it was quite good. It really didn't have the diet coke taste and was almost as tasty as the sugary coke.

3. I thought it was pretty good
I like regular coke and my husband likes diet coke, but we agree that coke zero is pretty good so we usually get that now.

4. No
Spenda makes me sick (nasty body aches, like I'm coming down with the flu) which kinda sucks, because I love Jones soda!

6. I didn't know Coke Zero had Splenda
there's a new Diet Coke with Splenda too, but I thought that Coke Zero used Aspertame.

8. Wow
I never heard of Splenda doing that. It's been a lot safer than aspartame, although I suppose cyanide would be a lot safer than aspartame, too.

I'm not sensitive to aspartame, either. It's perfume that knocks me out. Well, to each their own, I guess.

Stay healthy!

--p!

12. Which Diet Coke uses Splenda then?
I read that there was a new Diet Coke on the market which uses Spenda, but the only new product I've seen is Coke zero :shrug:

16. There's one called
Diet Coke with Splenda. It looks like Diet Coke but has this yellow stripe on it.

Coke Zero is actually completely different from Diet Coke--it uses the original Coca-Cola Classic formula with two different artificial sweetenters (neither of which is Splenda)

17. Ahhh
well, now I know which one to avoid! (Actually, I should avoid all such products-but I'm a caffine addict)!

:hi:

5. Diet Coke with Splenda is better imo
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 11:15 AM by Mizmoon
but I like C2 the best. No one sells C2 anymore though (guess I'm the only one who likes it). I found a supermarket with some last week and I literally bought every can they had (five 12 packs)!

9. Only if I pay "zero" for it.
I try to boycott all of those companies as much as I can. They already have billions, they don't need any more.

13. It's Fine... But It's EXTRA EXTRA Fizzy... And The Fizz Foam Won't Go Away
as quickly as the fizz foam from regular coke or ordinary diet coke. Pour slowly or you'll get a head on it that will put a stout beer to shame.

15. Not bad
I'm used to the Diet Coke taste and actually prefer it..but if you like regular than most likely you'll like Coke Zero better.

18. I try to stick with food and water,
rather than chemical concoctions. ;)
