Heather – I wish Lindsay Lohan would consume extra calories, because she’s looking kind of scary. I think she needs a few Cokes.

Cracked me up… great review… I stumbled on this site while trying to figure out what was the difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero, I will definitely have to check back often for other reviews… As for Coke Zero, I bought a bottle of it today. I am a Diet Coke hater and I don’t think Coke Zero is much better. Stick with the Classic Coke. Life is short, enjoy every minute of it, even if it means actually consuming extra calories.

Tom77 – Unfortunately, I didn’t exist thirty years ago, so I have no idea what Coke tasted like back then. All I know about Coke back then was that it might have contained actual cocaine.

YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINTS!

1 – Coke Zero tastes like COKE. ~Real~, ~honest-to-God-30-freakin’-years-ago REAL Coke! Diet Coke doesn’t, never claimed to!

2 – Amazingly enough, Pepsi One ALSO tastes like COKE. ~Real~, ~honest-to-God-30-freakin’-years-ago REAL Coke! But then again, they can’t just come out and SAY that in their advertising, now can they???

Is it all starting to sink in yet?

Pepsi ONE…Coke…hmmmmmm…what can we call the new no-calorie Coke that will get the Pepsi ~ONE~ drinkers a clue???? I GOT IT – we’ll call it Just-like-Pepsi-One-but-made-by-Coke! Whassat? Not enough room on the bottle?? OK, What’s better than one? Two? Nah, too ambiguous, how about…Coke Zero!!!

For those not sure to try Coke Zero follow this guideline
If you consume and enjoy diet soda. Then go ahead and give it a try.
If diet sodas disgust you. Then stay away from this product.
I fit into the second category and find that Coke Zero taste similar to C2 but with a weak diet taste.

The worst thing you can do immediately after drinking a soda is to brush your teeth. The enamel gets softened from the soda and then the toothbrush tears at it like a rugburn tearing at your skin.
The sodas listed here in order starting with worst for the teeth clear or near clear (Sprite, Mountain Dew), Cola, Root Beer.

However, Marvo if you mess up your teeth too much you can always get them capped Bling! Bling! For your career as a rapper. Better yet take care of the teeth you have.

rfduck – If Marilyn Manson stood next to a gigantic Coke Zero, I don’t think I could tell the difference. Unless Marilyn Manson was wearing his man boobs.

nat – Oh, how can you quit the sweet, carbonated, caffeinated nectar that flows through my body, providing me with sustenance needed to survive the daily grind of surfing the internet. Oh…maybe I need to quit too.

LNH – If there was actual coke (as in cocaine), I think there would be less dislike for it. Actually, I think it would be so popular that people would break into stores for it. ;-)

7Towers – Thanks for dropping the knowledge. :-)

Robert – Probably hates Green Day because he thinks they are sellouts.

Webmiztris – Actually, Crystal Pepsi wasn’t that bad. Was it? Oh, it’s been so long since I’ve tried it. Maybe I should buy some on eBay.

7Towers – Thanks for the history lesson, but I still think that Coke Zero sucks.

you crack me up! it DOES look goth! hey, it’s gotta be better than Pepsi Clear; right? I actually really like Diet Coke, so maybe I’d like it? I’ll have to try it I guess.

Goth! HAHAHAHAHA!! That is hilarious. I’m sure Coke Zero is in his bedroom cutting his arms and crying to a Nightwish album, and cursing Evanescence for being so damn good! Sellouts!!

Man lots of hate here!!

A brief Coke History lesson: (esp. for you Chuck)

1. Coke was mad at Pepsi sales increase and wanted a new formula.
2. After Testing several formulas, they found that the “people” were in love w/ Diet Coke w/ the Corn Syrup. (I would say Sugar, but that would be wrong)
3. After people rejected New Coke (aka, Diet Coke w/ Corn Syrup), they returned to the “Classic”
4. 20 years later: More and more people are buying diet drinks, but there is a large segment (myself included) that HATE Diet Coke.
5. Solution: Make a Zero Calorie cola that is based on….. Coke “Classic”
6. Now by not getting rid of the old Diet Coke, which does have its fanbase, it gets a larger market share of the Diet Soda drinking population and doesn’t fall back on its past mistakes.

Hooray for business!!

I can’t believe there is such dislike for this drink! I’ve now had it – both in cans and in the 20 ounce bottle, and am pretty happy with it. I’m a diet coke addict – and I also drink diet sprite zero and diet dr. pepper with regularity. This tastes much more like C2 than diet coke to me – much sweeter than diet coke. I won’t drink it everyday because it feels like a aspartame overload, but it is nice to pair with something salty for sure. It has a bit of an aftertaste (especially as you get down to the bottom of the can when it starts to get warm), but no more so than other diet sodas out there.

Won’t be trying this, since I gave up sodas almost 3 weeks ago. (for good) But thanks for the Madonna laugh! Or should I say, Esther?

I was thinking about My Chemical Romance in connection to this product too! “I’m not okay….unless I’m drinking my Coke Zero”?

wired – If it really was Coke Zero, it would be free. I think I ripped off that idea from a commercial. Eh, your reasoning was better.

Mellie Helen – I’ve been reading that Coke Zero is actually darker than regular Coke, but I don’t like label a soda. Soda is soda. Why can’t we all get along?

Rhoda – Thanks!

Stephanie – It’s wannabe Goth soda.

Mr Jon teh Redth of Canadia – I would totally be the loser, because I cry at the littlest things, like seeing road kill.

Bryan – You may think I talk to my review products too much, but I stroke them inappropriately even more.

damn, why am I always the last to the table… anyhow I need to second (or third, or fourth) the Vanilla Cherry Dr. Pepper. I just bought a fridge pack of it today for 2 bucks. But it wasn’t diet, it was regular.

Marvo I think you need a break from reviewing, you are starting to talk to your review products too much… by the way I think you should make your own soda company. Like Jones soda, just call it Marvo’s and you should put a different wack rhyme on each flavor.
