I don’t drink soda these days but from past experiences I see the real crime here is that they are comparing it to Pepsi and not Coke 😂

Coca Cola Zero is awful. Most people I know, that drink sugar free, drink Pepsi Max.

Coke Zero did a major flavor change a few years ago (same time they changed to logo to a primarily red bittle with black text instead of the opposite), and I actually really like it now.

Same. I used to only like diet coke, but that's not a thing here in Japan. Interestingly, when I went back to the US, I couldn't stand regular nor diet; there was something really weird and chemically going on there).

They can both be awful : )

I almost like coke zero more than regular coke, same goes for quite a few that I know in person. Must be a regional thing?

So far, the only soda I've found where the sugar-free version is the same or better than the regular version is Big K [Kroger store brand] grapefruit citrus soda. I literally can't taste the difference between the sugar-free and regular versions at all.

Coke Zero comes pretty close, though, and I've never tried Pepsi Max.

I would have to agree, I only drank full strength sugary cokes!
