whatever, I'm sure I will get used to the new taste just like I did when I started drinking diet and then zero in the first place
they taste absolutely nothing alike

Coca-Cola Zero To Be Replaced With Zero Sugar In U.S.

That seems to be nonsense, from what I've read. No proof at all.
Pseudo scientists come up with crazy stuff and jump to conclusions all the time because they have ulterior motives and crave attention. It's unfortunate that those brain-farts are hard to get rid of, eg. anti-vaccination idiocy.
Yes, Diet Coke is an insult to human taste buds and deserves to be discontinued, whereas Coke Zero Sugar tastes almost like the real thing, mabe even better because it's not as sweet.

One tastes like shit, the other is Coke Zero.
It's worrying people think this is true.

Whacky. That a technical term?
Diet Coke is basically an entire unrelated soda formula that was given the Coke branding.
Sorry, should have added "Taste" to the end. Coke Zero just tastes like salt to me with a gross aftertaste.

We have it at my walmart as a coke zero drinker I hate it. It's way too sweet. Guess I'll be drinking more water.

What do you think is happening when you have ice in your drink?

And on top of that, 100mg of caffeine boosts fat burning by about 4% for a few hours. And yet the fact remains that the consumption of diet soda isn't associated with weight loss.
Where is the book because you are wrong.
What do you mean "associated with"? It can in so far as its caloric intake is negligible.

That packaging is awesome! Can't wait to find this stuff and try it! Many reports of it being at Walmart already, but I suppose that depends on the local bottling plant having it too.

I'm really not a fan of original Coke (too syrupy), but I do like Coke Zero... so this is annoying to me.

Apparently there's a rumour that Woolies will continue stocking coke zero, instead of coke no sugar.

Same, been all about the Diet Dr Pepper life so I'm kind of hoping this reinvigorates calorie free Coke.

In theory, it helps. In practice, it doesn't make difference, or makes it worse. People that use artificial sweeteners on the reg are fatter.

That article even says they can't draw any conclusions. If people drink Diet soda and therefore think that gives them the ability to splurge elsewhere, than that elsewhere is the problem.
There is no research that shows Diet soda, on its own, is bad for you (outside of dental health that all soda effects).
Sounds good. 💦💦

One fascinating thing about coke zero is that it was created exclusively to market towards (younger) men, as men didn't want to buy drinks called diet as it was felt that was for women. Not that long ago either, 2005 although they spent years working on the product.
Its kinda funny because nowadays I don't think any guy really cares whether he is drinking a diet coke or coke zero, and most probably don't really understand why there are two essentially identical products.

Coca Cola Zero Sugar tasting less sweet is a good thing.

I had this the other day in Australia and its really good. Tastes heaps sweeter than Coke Zero, and very similar to real Coke
That article does not claim what you think it does. Causation and correlation are different things. If I eat whatever I want and then drink diet soda of course I'll gain weight. By the same token if I exercise regularly and eat what I want I will as well. It's a tool to keep calories in check - nothing more, nothing less. The article even points out the many bogus claims made about artificial sweeteners.

Don't fatter people use more diet products since they need it more or are more conscious about those things? I hardly use artificial sweeteners but I can stand the occasional sugar since I exercise well and my weight is normal.

Huh, curious, I thought it had already been replaced in the US?
In Germany Coca-Cola replaced the product more than half a year ago, at least according to a newspaper article. My gf and I never noticed any change and it usually is our favourite drink when we go out for dinner. To be fair, the label hasn't changed much here in Germany, it basically looks the same as before, it just doesn't say "Zero" anymore, but "Zero Sugar".

Well shit. I can't stand the taste of classic Coke these days, tastes sickly sweet.
Guess I need to find another diet soda now.

I love Zero, I hope this doesn't start tasting like Coke Life or the new Diet Pepsi, gross.

I got some of this at Walmart today, 16oz bottles. I think it tastes better than Zero and has less of a chemically aftertaste. I really like it. Seems more "smooth."
Truly the drink for everyone

Are they still going to have a Cherry version?
Had it for the first time this weekend.
Tastes almost the same as Zero, but is a bit softer and sweeter, and slightly more like regular Coke. Lacks the refreshing "bite" I liked from original Zero, though.
It could be worse. Still hope they bring Zero back, even if I don't drink soda much anymore.

If it hasn't been stated strongly enough already - Coke Zero and this 'new' Zero Sugar is almost completely the same stuff. The taste variance is so incredibly minor (especially if cold) that you would not notice.
It's no accident that the labelling is almost exactly the same as Coke Zero.
I had had a LOT of Zero after it was introduced. Here in Canada in my local pizza place, it was just suddenly replaced. Because the label looked so similar, I didn't even notice.
I realized after a few weeks that I was drinking the Zero Sugar, and didn't skip a beat. Only reason I even really found out was a story online that mentioned the switch.
