The red dot in general is annoying me, they should have just kept it color coded.
Perhaps a red banner instead of a dot.

So normal is normal, Diet is aspartame, Life is stevia, and Zero is aspartame FOR DUDES? I've been out of the soda game for so long...

Zero is supposed to taste more like regular Coke.

Coke Zero - no calories, no sugar
Diet Coke - aspartame instead of sugar
Life - stevia instead of aspartame

Zero exists because a) Diet became associated with women and b) it really is closer to regular Coke, but Coke has a bad history associated with changing formulas.

So Zero is a different flavor profile but still aspartame. I guess?
Coke zero tastes significantly better than diet coke.

Pretty much. The difference being
Diet = Sweeter
Zero = Has more of a bite
Zero Vanilla is a nice middle ground

Really good redesign.
Sounds just like Coke Zero tbh.
Pretty much all the diet drinks have this problem. You get used to it and stop tasting it after a while, in my experience.

Fun piece of useless trivia: Diet Coke's taste actually based on the "New Coke" recipe from the 1980s.
Coke Zero is the "true" diet version of Coca-Cola Classic.

Other way around: New Coke was based on Diet Coke.

Stevia tastes like plant dust. Really it has a very dirt like taste.
The bottles look okay-ish, but the cans are awful.

Not a fan of the design. And seems like going by this thread that I'm the only one that actually likes Life.
Also, are they rebranding Diet to Light in the US? Wonder if they'll change the sweetener to match the name.

You can get the Vanilla one here in UY (not locally made, imported), and it tastes absolutely awful. Way, way too sweet.

Coke light and diet coke are exactly the same
This! The aftertaste is awful specially if not properly cooled. Too bad since I can stand the taste of Zero and Light.
Pepsi Max is the only low sugar cola decent enough.
Didn't know you had it over there, wish I had known that when I used to go on vacation with my family to Punta del Este many years ago.
I tried it in New York last year and liked it a lot. It was sweet but not excessively so, unlike Cherry Coke which didn't fit with McDonald's food at all. Lime Coke wasn't bad either, although I prefer Pepsi Twist. Didn't get to try Cherry Vanilla
Man, that soda machine in McDonald's and Five Guys was awesome. If they brought that here (with all the flavors, of course) I could die happily.

Nope. Cole zero is basically the same coke formula with artificial sweeteners. Diet Coke is a unique formula.

Can't wait for people to get confused by this like their white can Christmas design.

This whole thing looks like middle management designers just trying to change for change sake so they can justify their jobs existing.

Yo I'm from the hometown of coke and I've never heard of Coke Life. Wtf is that?
Not exactly the same. They're meant to be the same but the formula is different by country like all cokes. So it is certainly possible to prefer coke light over US diet coke

Ah perhaps, i'm in the UK and whenever I've tasted coke light it's been exactly the same as UK diet coke

These are a million times better.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Cans look ugly, bottles look alright. But it's not like I'm the target audience for this...
I haven't seen that in years and years. I think I actually might miss it.

Stevia tastes like shit and has a horrid aftertaste. You're not missing anything.
