    Truer words have never been spoken.

    I'm sitting here in my office drinking a Coke Zero right now. I have to say that it takes almost exactly like real coke. Much, MUCH, MUCH better than Diet Coke, which I hate the taste of. I am hereby moving Coke Zero to a tie position with Diet Cherry Pepsi as my new favorite diet soft drink.

    I can not agree more with you on the Coke Zero. I think it tastes very close to the real thing. I now switch off between Coke Zero, Diet DP, Diet Cherry Vanilla DP, and Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi.

    I'm gonna have to pickup some Zero tomorrow at the store.

    Does anyone remember Cherry RC? That stuff was unbelievably awesome. I don't think you can buy it anymore.

    Cherry RC was the best. I haven't seen it in about 2 years though. :( I never saw it in cans though, only 20oz bottles.

    As I told my dad's wife yesterday, Coke Zero tastes like booty juice. And while I haven't tried booty juice, I'm sure it would be similar to Coke Zero.

    If you guys want a diet drink that tastes close to the real thing, try Diet Coke with Splenda. Now THAT stuff is great.

    What's the difference between C2 and Coke Zero? They sound like the same thing to me.

    C2 was their "50% less sugar" soft drink.

    Coke Zero is actually a diet no calorie drink in which taste more like coke than diet coke.

    Yeah but we'll also be thinner and able to stake a claim in a multi-trillion dollar law suit.

    For most people, cancer is better than a trip to the dentist. :D

    Well, yeah, you'll get the lawsuit, but no way you'll be skinnier than me. There's a reason I can scoff at diet drinks so easily.

    After an informal survey in my office, three out of three fatasses agree that Coke Zero tastes just like regular Coke. Of course, all three of us are diet soda regulars, so our palettes aren't as snooty as the corn-syrup addicts that seem to be trolling this thread :p

    I drink diet drinks pretty often, but given the choice of cancer and diabetes...well, they're both terrible afflictions, and it's sort of morbid to talk about them like this, but there's definitely one that I would rather not have.

    Forget Diet Dr Pepper and Coke Zero. I'm here to say Mr Pibb Zero beats them all, followed closely by Sprite Zero.

    coke ZERO.
    The ZERO is how much taste this freakin' piece of crap drink has.

    Randall's has these 12-packs of COKE with coupons which give you a 2-litter or a 3-litter of coke ZERO when you buy a 12-pack or 2 two-liter cokes.

    I got the drink just because it was free, but I don't like it one bit. :(
    Hopefully my wife finishes it all. :D

    I spoke with our Coke supplier at the office a few weeks ago. I relayed to him my unholy love for Coke Zero, and he sadly told me that Coca Cola will soon be discontinuing Coke Zero and C2.

    Why?

    Because those products are eating into the company's profits for Diet Coke and Coke Classic.

    Yes, even though all of the money is still going into the big bucket of earnings that is Coca Cola, Inc., the shareholders and executives base quarterly success on the gross receipts attributable to Diet Coke and Coke Classic. C2 and CZ are taking away from those profits, so they gots to go.

    Stupid.

    I stocked up my house with Coke Zero, in anticipation of the discontinuation.
