Coke Zero was first introduced in 2005 in the United States. Coke Zero is Coca-Cola's biggest product launch in 22 years, and primarily targets young adult males. In the United States, advertising has reflected that by describing the drink as "calorie-free" rather than "diet", since that demographic associates diet drinks with women. Coke Zero was just launched in the Philippines. I have tasted it and well, it tastes like Coke Light. I don't seem to see the difference... Have you tasted Coke Zero? What do you think about it?

I love it! I started drinking diet Coke some years ago when the hubby and I went on the Atkins (low carb) diet as diet sodas don't have any calories or carbs. But, the diet drinks took some getting used to with the taste it leaves in your mouth. Then, Coke came out with Diet Coke with Splenda. We loved it. Then Zero came out, we tried it and I didn't like it as much as the Splenda. But, then Coke started phasing out the Splenda and we were forced to switch to Zero. Now, I like the Zero better.

I havent drink the Coke Zero. It was newly launched and I am looking for it but most stores still dont have it. If it tastes like diet coke then maybe it is sugar free really. I am just wondering, is it the answer of coke to pepsi's max no sugar. Anyway its the war between colas, but I do drink both of them, I like them both.

I think this is Coca-Cola's answer to PepsiCo's Pepsi Max...

Yes I taste Coke Zero and I think it tastes like Coke Light too, but the only different I found out would be that Coke Zero seems to have more "gas". I feel the different after having a few sips.

Someone told me it tasted like regular Coke, so I tried it and it was nothing at all like regular Coke. Coca Cola unlike Coke Zero is actually good. I remember there was a reduced calorie Coke a few years ago with half the calories and sugar of regular Coke and that was much better than Coke Zero. It tasted more like Coke, which is a good thing. What did they call it again? Does anyone remember this?

I just saw Coke Zero in the vending machine the other day. Maybe it was introduced to China recently. I have not tasted Coke Zero yet. I think it won't be too delicious for me and calorie-free is just a stunt~~

I don't take diet coke or anything that has aspartame in it. So since coke zero is sugar-free, I am pretty sure it uses aspartame so I am not hot about it. If you say, it just taste like diet coke them I may never get around to tasting it even out of curiousity.

I can tell the difference. To me Coke Zero is just awful. Its very plain and just tastes like a muted carmel drink with carbonation. Terrible.

I have tried Coke Zero on more than one occassion. I don't like it at all. I do notice that Coca Cola is marketing this new Coke pretty heavily. There are buy one get one free coupons and deals all over the place. There are even coupons that say that if you buy a regular Coke you can get a Coke Zero free.
I am a lover of plain Coca Cola Classic and I just can't get used to the flavor of Coke Zero.
My parents are Diet Coke drinkers, they don't like the Coke Zero either.

I don't like it. I think it tastes gross. But I am not a very big fan of coca-cola

I love it. It tastes so much better than Diet Coke. It's not as good as regular Coke, but it is one of the best tasting diet drinks out there. I absolutely despise Diet Coke, so it's perfect for me.

i like the coke zero, becuase its not too sweet. Pepsi max is too sweet even though it has no sugar on it. And i wonder why it is sweet when it has no sugar on it.. Ever wonder?

What is Coke Light? I have seen Coke Zero in the stores but I haven to seen anyone around drinking it or anyone purchase one. I haven't tried I. I stay away from soda and even further away from any diet type of drink.
