We had a brief discussion today at work regarding the differences between Diet Coke and Coke Zero.
Both are zero-calorie soft drinks from the Coca-Cola boys (and girls), but there is clearly a taste difference between the two. Our discussion started by stating these obvious facts.
Well, no question need go unanswered in this Age of Google. A quick search reveals to us the facts:
- Diet Coke is the sugar-free version of New Coke (remember that failed bit from the 80s?).
- Coke Zero is the sugar-free version of Coke Classic.
I am a fan of Diet Coke over Coke Zero, while I prefer Coke Classic over New Coke, which doesn't really follow given the revelation above.
That may have more to do with the power of marketing and advertising (and my weak-minded susceptibility to them) than anything else...
