Diet Coke is it's own flavor, they just tried to make something taste good with the sweetener back then instead of "like Coke".

Coke Zero is no sugar "like Coke"
Coke Life is just less calories but has "natural sugars"

According to my manager in a bar I work in, it goes like this:
Coke original: the first product, baseline formula, sugar. Orange garnish goes well
Diet Coke: first sugarfree version, tastes different from the baseline - generally lighter taste, sodium citrate, sugarfree. Lemon garnish goes well
Coke Zero: revamped sugarfree version which tastes almost/the same as original formula, like garnish goes well
Coke Life: another sugarfree version, this time with stevia sweetener which comes from stevia leaves. Different taste. We don’t stock it since it’s rare in bongland from what I have noticed.

Generally speaking they could have gotten rid of diet coke since they achieved the goal of making zero - a sugarfree version of the original taste, but during the waiting period some customers grew accustomed to the diet version so why kill off some profits?

This past year Dr Pepper finally 'won' (the judgement was more complicated than that actually) an old lawsuit against Coke and their attempt to trademark the 'Zero' name so now other brands including DP and Redbull are releasing 'Zero' branded products and Coke wants to differentiate themselves.

Red: dangerous levels of sugar, not even natural if you buy in the States.

Green: low levels of natural sugar, it would be my choice though I have never tried it.

Black: extremely synthetic alcoholic sugars. Hopefully it goes in as fast as it goes down and are not the new Asbestos. Tastes like shit when not very cold, and even then something is off.

White: Weird taste as well. This one can give you constipation - clearly the reason it has disappeared from many countries.

I don't believe it will give me cancer, all I know is that aspartame is fucking foul tasting and has ruined 90% of yurops soft drinks.
I can tolerate stevia and sucralose, but aspartame and acesulfame potassium can fuck right off

[Anonymous No.16818485]

Why don't they just sell a coke with half the sugar and no atificial sweeteners?
All the brands that use less sugar are stupid hipster brands that taste bad and are expensive.

>normal
standard diabetes juice. if it wasn't so acidic the sweetness would make you gag
>life / green
a bit less sugar with some stevia. will give you diabetes more slowly, but tastes a bit off. basically coke zero for people who are afraid of scary """chemicals""" and want something with a natural sweetener instead (even though no other ingredient in there is natural or healthy in any way lmao)
>zero
has no calories and tastes better than the green one. no reason not to pick this over the others unless you want to be fat and diabetic or you're a soccer mom who believes some disproven study from 40 years ago about how aspartame makes your dick fall off if you bathe in it or something
>diet
is this the same as "light"? if so, it's an outdated version of coke zero that tastes worse

Marketing.

Coke Zero was made to get men to drink Diet Coke. Coca Cola found out through questionnaires that men were like 2 or 3 times less likely to order a Diet Coke than a woman because it had the word diet in the name.

Coke classic is great.

Coke "Life" is jewish trickery for health nut dollars.

Coke Zero is literally poison as it slowly kills you with a build up of a sweetener that your body can't break down.

Diet Coke is Devil's ass juice consumed in great quantities by overweight women.

Coke life was sweetened with stevia and sugar.

[Anonymous No.16830165]

>itt: retards who don't understand that Coke Zero is made with aspartame and acesulfame potassium
Coke Life/Coke Stevia existed because some of us have taste buds and cannot stand the taste of aspartame. The new black-label Coke Zero tastes more like Diet Coke than the original Coke Zero formulation, likely because they reduced the amount of acesulfame potassium and upped the aspartame percentage.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. The red label one tastes even more like Diet Coke and my family all told me I'm crazy and that it tastes even closer to regular Coke than ever before while I think I might not even be able to pick it out of a blind taste test between Coke Zero and Diet Coke.
