I've recently been trying to drop a few pounds and the first thing I turned to on my quest to cut calories is my crippling vice: soda. I love the stuff way more than I should. I'm a pretty big Coca Cola / Dr. Pepper fiend. One of my buddies suggested Coke Zero Sugar. I historically have disliked most Diet and low-calorie sodas but I bought a bottle and found myself liking it. I bought another later in the week and was like, damn, this is pretty good. I bought a case for the house and have been cracking one open for those few times water isn't cutting it for me a couple of times a week and I think it's gotten to the point I might prefer it to regular Coke. This is definitely the GOAT of low-calorie sodas that I've tried. I'll still be trying to cut my soda intake down but I think this might be my new go-to for those times when I get a soda craving.

every time a product says "improved taste" my first thought is "oh so it was trash before"

Agreed, started drinking these recently and I think it's replaced regular coke for me. My only complaint is that they are flatter than regular coke

i mean i imagine pure cocaine would be preferable to coke that's been cut with sugar but you probs shouldn't be doing it either way

I tried it once years ago and really didn't care for it. Certainly was better than diet, but ehhhhh.

I really should try it again though. I drink too much coke.

This is my go-to for caffeine. Something about it at like 12:30 p.m. just kicks my ass back into gear.

Pretty much in the same boat for wanting something to get at the soda cravings. It's quite good.

i love coke zero but my favorite is Diet coke with Splenda but that's much harder to find. Not in a lot of stores, not in gas stations

I tried Raspberry Coke Zero recently and it's amazing. Vanilla/Cherry Coke Zero are still the GOATs, honorable mention for Feisty Cherry Diet Coke.
Congratulations on your new sugarless soda journey OP, soon enough you'll be disgusted by regular soda. It's like liquid candy for me now, too much.

I somehow lost about 25 pounds over the course of four months now and this is the only soft drink I've had, so yeah I approve.

I miss Coke Zero, But Coke Zero Sugar is pretty decent. On the flip side, Zero Sugar Vanilla And Cherry are terrific.

Love love love this. It's pretty wild how good it tastes. I prefer it to regular Coke. I like to put half a lemon slice in the glass for a little extra refreshment.

The Orange Vanilla is excellent. If you can actually buy it in your area, Mello Yello Zero is also excellent.

I switched to Coke Zero about 6 months ago. Haven't had a sugar soda in that time. Cherry Coke Zero is freaking amazing, but I can't find it anywhere.

This, however, is my favorite

It tastes exactly like regular Dr. Pepper.

I normally do diet but sometimes do zero. Can't drink normal sodas really anymore. Taste too sweet.

Also thought this thread was going to be about some new coke zero chillhop channel like that god-awful pepsi one

Agreed. Can't get back into regular - tastes like drinking sugar straight.

Crazy how you don't notice if you constantly drink it.

If it's ice cold then it pretty much tastes exactly like coke, the warmer it gets the more it tastes like medicine

It's my go to soft drink and actually tastes pretty good if you mix it with whiskey as well.

Yeah I started drinking these a while back and never looked back.

Still, I prefer Pepsi Max more. That one is even better than Pepsi itself.

Cherry Coke and Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar is really good. I've drank regular sodas my entire life with some diet here and there which is kinda meh, but this stuff is really good. I even bought some Mountain Dew zero sugar recently and that stuff has been good too.

I know diet sodas have had some really bad health risks in the past, even more so than regular sodas due to the type of sugar being used. Have we heard anything bad with these zero sugar sodas?

Just started finding this (in 2L bottles) at my local store after not seeing any diet Pepper in stock for weeks.

It's good but Pepsi Zero Sugar is vastly superior, at least to my taste buds. Has a more pleasant after taste imo.
