Today's big question - do people actually drink Diet Coke because they like the flavour? I had a bad experience with Coke Zed at the weekend and am currently trying to drink Diet Coke and this is causing me ponderings.

Haven't tried the new Coke Zero yet but intend to when I get the chance. I don't like the taste of diet coke, but feel I ought to since the full fat is so ful of sugar...

Coke Zero is horrible horrible stuff. It actually tastes ok as you're drinking it, but it has a really revolting aftertaste that had me desperately wanting to brush my teeth.

Ah - that doesn't sound so good! Any idea what's causing the aftertaste? Is it using different sweeteners to Diet Coke?

[livejournal.com profile] karne_k muttered something about different sweetners, but to be honest I was focussed on trying to get rid of the taste and was hence distracted. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Zero) says it's using aspartame and acesulfame potassium.. but I don't actually know what Diet Coke uses and that page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_Coke) was a bit more complicated as there are lots of regional variations it seems. I'm also amused to see there's actually more caffeine in Coke Zero than regular coke (34.5 vs 35mg).

I think it's just a reformulation of diet Coke using the same sweetners. Certainly tastes a lot more like normal Coke but the aftertaste means I can't stand either of them.

Agree with cub, Pepsi MAx is the best of the diet colas - not that that's saying much...
