I hate Diet Coke...

[Mikey]

I'm a Wies store brand diet ginger ale man myself

I agree Coke Zero tastes way better. I remember posting a thread a couple of years ago asking people if they thought Diet Coke tasted off or flat. I just doesn't taste good anymore.

I never drink regular soda. But I'm not giving up Coke Zero. It's the only thing that can put a dent in my migraines. I hate coffee, tea and can't take anything stronger than Tylenol which is pretty much useless for migraines.

Diet Coke is indeed flatter than Coke Zero. The carbonation is not as strong/intense...true.

I dig Dr Pepper Ten...the one with only ten calories...

[Hector]

Yeah, awesome, my fellow Coke Zero lovers!

[Goblin19]

Dr. Pepper is second best.

[Bruce Banner]

Yeah, I really like Coke Zero, too.
Also Dr. Pepper Zero.

This one you're dead right on. I'm drinking a Coke Zero right now.

...but I love Coke Zero...

Coke Zero Cherry...even better...




I don't know what it is...but Diet Coke has major aftertaste to me...I don't get that aftertaste from Coke Zero.

Diet Coke's volume -- i.e. the number of cases of soda shipped to retailers -- is plunging around the globe. Volume was down 8% in the quarter. That follows steep declines for the brand in the first and second quarters as well. Diet Coke also seems to be hurt by the fact that Coke has a similar no-calorie drink that is doing better: Coke Zero's volume was up 8% in the quarter.

Not surprising...as not only does Coke Zero tastes better...but the day after New Year's, I headed to Safeway...and they were completely out of Coke Zero...while the Diet Cokes shelves were all full.

Time to retire Diet Coke...long live Coke Zero.

This message was brought to you by a Coke Zero aficionado...any criticism created by fellow posters hating on all sodas...will self-destruct in five seconds...



P.S. BTW, critics who say diet sodas make you gain weight like regular sodas are full of poop...as in my regular Coke drinking days...I was 100 pounds heavier...as opposed to my current Coke Zero drinking ritual, so there...bite me...



P.S.S. I also drink lots of water...and dig G2, that's the low sugar Gatorade. Not much of a coffee drinker. Love my beer, but drink mostly lite beers nowadays, and nowhere near as frequent as before...maybe two-three beers on a weekend. No drinking through weekdays. Wine? Once in a blue moon, red wine only. Tequila, good quality reposado tequila...only at gatherings like a party, birthdays, celebrations, etc...maybe two or three shots, and I'm done. Oh, I love orange juice, but try not to drink too much of it, as it's loaded with sugars.

P.S.S.S. Awesome thread...
