I personally don't like the taste of Coke Zero. I like Diet Coke, I don't drink them often, but it's the taste I prefer.

Anything in moderation...Sometimes I just have to have a regular Coke, preferable fountain. Sometimes I will get a Diet Coke, which I find has more caffeine than Coke, Coke Zero or a cup of coffee.

Same reason we still have Tab. There’s a market.

Now there’s a drink.

Because of marketing

The words “zero” and “diet” are different and customers view it differently. Creating demand for two different target markets

Nobody’s. I don’t know those two users’ posting habits enough to know in what way that’s funny.

Pepsi Zero, formerly Pepsi Max is the best. Higher caffeine and Ginseng.

Because they couldn’t develop Coke Zero in time, and for some reason people got addicted to the taste and actually like the taste of Diet Coke.

They learned from the “new Coke” disaster of the past and just released the new Diet Coke (Coke Zero) as a new product instead of replacing Diet Coke.

Not much of a coke drinker any more, but when I do...it's a Zero. Ha....had to...sorry yall.

Anyway...got a combo for lunch that came with a coke (usually drink water with lemon), and they didnt have Diet Coke as an option. Coke or Coke Zero. Other coke options like reg sprite and dr pepper. Sprite Zero is pretty solid too.

The Zeros definitely stepped it up over the diet versions. Especially if you are wanting to keep your carb intake down.

Have you ever done a blind taste test? I thought Coke Zero was better until I did a taste test, and then I realized I actually couldn’t tell the difference and they both taste like garbage

Better question - why isn't Dr Pepper Ten a thing with all brands. They take 10 calories and get the absolute most out of them. It's a fine replacement for regular Dr Pepper.

A Coca-Cola 10 or something would be GOAT.

How does this simple question have 30+ downvoted? You’d think this were a “I believe Jussie Smullet” thread.

Better question is how does Tab still exist.
