Coca-Cola Zero:
IMHO tastes like 1/2 Diet Coke, 1/2 Tab.

Discuss.

2. Why are there so many types of coke and pepsi?!
Pepsi
Pepsi One
Diet Pepsi
Pepsi with Lime
Cherry Pepsi
Pepsi Edge
Pepsi Twist

Coke
Diet Coke
Coke Zero
Coke with Lime
Cherry Coke
Vanilla Coke

(I'm scared that I know all those)

How did my parents survive when there was only one type of soda?!

12. partly to generate excitement, partly to take up shelf space
very few people are going to buy "caffeine free diet coke with lemon" that wouldn't have bought some other type of coke if "cfdcwl" didn't exist. But, some people will, just to try something new.

Mostly, however, having many versions means that you can get retailers to stock many versions (if you are a big company with heavily promoted products). Each shelf facing Coke has is one that Pepsi doesn't. Each shelf facing Pepsi has is one that Schweppes (sp?) doesn't.

More shelf space means more sales.

4. Their formulation is AWFUL! Pepsi got the Splenda bit right with Pepsi One
Just my thought on the matter.

5. Sweeter than Diet Coke but not as smooth as Diet Cherry Coke
Almost like a very flat regular cola.

8. I'd say it tastes
about 90% like coke. And considering how addicted to real coke (the liquid kind) I used to be, that's about 90% good for me. ;-)

9. That is so weird... I just tried it today. It's like you knew!
I liked it... it tastes like regular coke bu doesn't have that sickening sweet tounge coating after taste. It's not as "diety" as Diet Coke and doesn't have the aspertame taste. It's very similar in taste to Diet Coke with Spleda.

10. More like Tab
Coke claims it's more from the real coke formula. Whatever.

Diet Coke--not w/splenda formula--is better.
