Diet Coke: girly

Coke Zero: for MEN. You can tell because the can is black.

They taste really different though and while I sometimes like the taste of Diet Coke, Coke Zero tastes more like regular Coke. I'm cutting back on it all but thanks to Zero, I haven't bought regular sugar Coke in years.

Coke Zero is for boys, diet coke is for girls who salivate over window cleaners.

diet coke is the new coke flavoring, coke zero is classic coke flavoring

it was an internal coke company concession to the new coke peeps, who did work pretty hard but failed and peeps didnt like it.

yeah, gender marketing was a big factor. coca cola is a marketing procurement company first, a water company second, a soda company third

Around here Coke Zero was from the get go marketed as the "real man's" alternative to diet coke, they had a really greasy marketing campaign which did all but tell you "THIS SWEET WATER MAKES YOUR DICK HUGE AND HARD". They dialed down on it eventually but it was there for a while.

Yeah, I always just saw stuff about Coke Zero tasting more like regular coke than diet coke because of the different sweetener. Though I prefer the weird kind of chemically taste of diet coke over coke zero for some reason.

I've heard it on the internet before but :shrug: Coke Zero tastes like Coke so it's good. Diet Coke tastes like a different drink.

I don't even think they make Dr. Pepper 10 anymore. Not that it was necessary as Diet Dr. Pepper tastes good to begin with. Not quite Regular Dr. Pepper, but a good flavour anyway.

Do you feel the same way?
Coke Zero tasted almost as distinct from regular Coke as Diet does when I tried it.

They all taste completely different to me too, but I can see how Coke Zero is closer in flavour profile to Regular Coke. Coke Zero makes my stomach hurt and gives me heartburn every time I have it though, which Diet Coke does not.

This one has to be doing it on purpose, right? I am not a historian of the Diet Soda But For Men Wars but if that did in fact come out after a year or two of Coke Zero / Pepsi Max MAN ADS, it's pretty loving clever.

I genuinely don't remember when any of them came out, but I know there are at least two more Dr Pepper commercials of the nature.

Dr. Pepper is also distributed by both Coke and Pepsi depending on your region so it gets even more confusing.

They've stopped making Dr Pepper 10 during COVID but if they don't bring it back I will be angry. Angry about soda.

In the past tense? I mean, a bit of Ireland's still administered by the UK, but India's just a part of the Commonwealth.

If you're talking about the actions of the Empire, though, that's fairly apt.

Yeah in that their imperialist army conquered them and their settler colonists displaced people.

Coke tastes different in different countries, but Coke Zero tastes pretty much the same everywhere - at least from my sample size of four countries.

In Australia it's called Coke No Sugar because people couldn't tell by the loving name that it had zero sugar in it. It's also very similar to regular coke in taste.

Diet Coke contains citric acid, which isn't found in Coke No Sugar, while the Zero brand contains sodium citrate and no citric acid.

So, it's a combination of Australians being really loving stupid, and saving a tiny fraction of a cent by not adding any form of citrate.

That's primarily in the USA. Lots of places still use real sugar in things. Mexico is an example.

You'll see "mexican coke" and the like on sale in a lot of parts of the USA. It's just coke made for sale in the mexican market and has sugar instead of hfcs.
