They recently changed the formula in the UK and moved to this packaging - not quite as good as the original in my opinion but nowhere near as awful as Diet Coke or god forbid, Pepsi Max.

As someone who hasn't tasted the 'real' coke in years, I really liked how coke zero tasted. I hope they didn't change it up too much

Hope its good. Loved Coke hated Pepsi but Coke Zero was so shit I went for Pepsi Max.

the reformulation from zero to zero sugar was such a revelation that it made regular completely pointless, so hopefully they don't fuck this up


if it does.... well dr pepper introduced their own zero sugar and it actually beats diet dr pepper which is no mean feat, so the backup is there if need be

I am all on board as it is for the cole zero sugar and cherry version. I am not sure how they can get it closer.

It's been available in Europe for a bit now, it just tastes a bit sweeter I guess? Slightly more like original sugar Coke if I had to say but I don't think it's that big of a change either

Hopefully closer to regular Coke. I keep switching between Zero and Diet depending on how recent I've had the other.

Tried it already....it's even better and comes sooooo close to the original coke taste. The only thing that stops it is the after after taste and when it's not that cold anymore there is some difference in taste.

Dunno about the taste, but the old can looked better...

The new can is too plain / has too much of the same color... It's like the Superman costumes that don't have the underpants...

I never tried Coke Zero, does it taste like normal Coke or different? I stopped drinking soda entirely two years ago but I am kinda curious how Zero tastes. I remember that Coke Light tasted like shit when I tried it once.

Please don't fuck it up. Coke Zero is basically the only soda I drink if I have to drink one.

It's closer to regular coke than any diet soda is to its regular version.

The second iteration was an improvement over the first, so hopefully they only improve it again.

Diet Coke/Coke Light has basically nothing to do with Coke (other than New Coke, which was sweetened Diet Coke)

Coke Zero tries to taste like classic Coke, but IMO tastes better

This is probably them trying to get some of the hype Dr Pepper Zero Sugar is getting. (Infinitely better than Diet Dr Pepper, to me. And Dr Pepper Cream Soda Zero Sugar is pretty great as well)

I might try it again with this new formula. The old one had a disgusting aftertaste and it tasted like what I imagine chemical waste would taste like. Awful, awful stuff.

I'm with ya. I'm one of those freaks who likes Diet Coke for the taste of Diet Coke, and I wanted to like Coke Zero but that aftertaste is like cinnamon made from the stuff under your sink.

Kind of looks like they're trying to get the can to resemble "regular" Coke. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually phase out the non-zero variant without ever telling anyone.
