Tastes So Much Like Coke - We're Going to Sue Ourselves

[bertha katzenengel]

Have you had Coke Zero? It's so damned close that I'm losing my craving for The Real Thing.

1. I have and I was impressed...

but I still prefer diet wild cherry pepsi.

:hi:

2. Yeah, I never thought I'd give up the regular stuff.

But I have, and it wasn't hard.

I'm willing to bet all the people who say they can taste aspartame would fail on a blind taste test with this stuff.

6. I might fail a blind taste test

but the histamines in my body would know for sure. (I is allergic)

3. I haven't tried it yet but I have a coupon to try it for free

I'll have to be sure to do so now that I know it's as good as the real stuff. :hi:

4. My husband loves it. I can't drink it because of the aspartame

5. Yup!

My understanding of it, which I posted awhile back:

Diet Coke was developed around the time as New Coke, and thus is a diet version of New Coke. Which is why it doesn't taste like Coca-Cola Classic.

Coke Light, which you could get in Europe for the past several years, tastes like Coca-Cola Classic. (I love Coke Light!) Very different taste from Diet Coke.

Coke Zero to me tastes just like Coke Light. I think it's just Coke Light in a different package.

7. Didn't I just hear in news

Some study said diet soders were no different than normal really? Health-wize I guess.

:shrug:
