I see little point to soda with no caffeine
I mean, there’s still the cola taste?
And dissolved gas
Rather not.
This is the perfect soda. All the flavor, with no drugs.
I don’t know what soda as caffeine to begin with.
Almost every cola has caffeine as a given
I know, but i don’t want the caffeine.
Coca-cola famously tried to sell bottled tap water in the UK as Dasani, but they abandoned it after they were very quickly exposed and ridiculed.
In the 80s, they called this Caffeine Free diet Coke and it was even free of kryptonite.
All that really changed is that “zero” is now more catchy than “diet”.
Isn’t there a difference been “diet” and “zero”? Like doesn’t one use aspartame and the other use a different “fake” sweetener?
So up until recently I thought the same. I thought “Zero Sugar” used sucralose (Splenda) and diet used aspartame. Compared them at the store and Discovered that both Mountain Dew zero sugar and diet mountain dew are sweetened with the same fake sweetener, aspartame. The two drinks taste different to me. Maybe other brands do use different sweeteners but not Pepsi it seems.
Typically, zero sugar versions include aspartame AND acesulfame K to improve the artificial sweetener flavor, where diet versions only contain aspartame.
TIL. Thanks!
This somehow implies Kryptonite is made of/has caffeine on its composition.
Diet coke retains the “new coke” recipe but with aspartame whereas coke zero is the “classic coke” recipe just with ace k and aspartame
I think, idk what I’m talking about I just like coca cola (the drink, not the company)
I think they only put aspartame in Diet Coke but I could be wrong
My source tells me both have both aspartame and ace k (Acesulfame potassium), but their flavour formulation is different. Diet Coke is meant to be a little different from Classic Coke, while Coke Zero is meant to mimic Classic Coke. So we were all a little right and a little wrong.
Uses:
- Pregnant women who would like a sugar-free cola beverage but can’t consume large amounts of caffeine.
- People with anxiety, insomnia, or other conditions that are worsened by caffeine who would like a sugar-free cola beverage.
- Anyone who would like a sugar-free cola beverage without caffeine?
Mind your own and let people enjoy their lives (and their sugar-free cola beverages).
Homeopathic cola
Can is full of water
Coca cola’nt
I mean I used to regularly have a Cuba Libre made with Caffeine Free Coke Zero. I’d definitely say it has a use; rum and Coke with lime after a nice dinner is fucking delicious, and the zero caffeine doesn’t keep me awake at night.
I haven’t seen Caffeine Free Coke Zero in any of my local stores for years so I’ll be on the lookout for this new “zero caffeine, zero sugar” version.
there’s still salt
The “zero sugar” usually means they replace the sugar with something worse (that’s often also a laxative).
Is there any actual evidence that artificial sweeteners are less healthy than sugar? Sugar in drinks contributes significantly to obesity, which in turn significantly increases the risk for a lot of health problems.
It seems like sucralose is not very unhealthy.
However the big name brands like Coke use aspartame which is a carcinogen and should be avoided.
cracks open a can of Coke Zero
Beats sugar though.
There’s evidence that it’s less healthy than drinking water, not sure about any studies about the long term effects that would consider also the obesity related issues. If you’re obese, manage to use artificial sweeteners to cut down on sugar, lose a bunch of weight doing that, and then drop those too, artificial sweeteners might literally save your life. If you don’t have a weight issue, it’s probably best not to start consuming them out of the blue.
I don’t think it’s very common to use alcohol sugars to sweeten drinks, you might be thinking of candy or gummy bears?
Tastes delicious and isn’t 250 cals a bottle you nerd.
Just a new can. They’ve been selling caffeine free Coke Zero for 15 years, and caffeine free Diet Coke for even longer.
The new can is really cool though. I definitely would buy this is I saw it in a store. The marketing would work on me.
Yeah… I don’t drink Coke often but I like caffeine free diet coke / coke zero. I don’t want the sugar and I don’t need caffeine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯It’s just soda then?
🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀
Yeah yeah I know what Coca cola is. I’m asking what’s left in it after removing caffeine and sugar.
A bubbly cola favored beverage.
Various chemical compounds that make most of the flavour of the drink, sugar free sweetners and that’s it
It’s a cola flavored sugar free soda.
- Diet coke w or w/o caffeine = aspartame
- Coke Zero w or w/o caffeine = aspartame + Ace-K
Different artificial sweeteners with slightly different taste profiles.
We used to get caffeine free Diet Coke or Pepsi in the 80s for elementary school pizza parties.
It made the best burps.
Next up - Coca Cola Still: all the same refreshing taste of Coke, but without any carbonation! Life is busy, just be Still.
Not going to lie, that’s a good tagline.
I know, I’m kinda ashamed of myself.
No no, don’t be! Unless it’s like your kink or smth then uh… Go ahead?
Nothing that complex, I just think Marketing is just sanctioned official bullshit and wish it would go away. Informational advertising I get, but Marketing? Fuck no. That’s just the sharp tip of consumerism trying to skewer you.
Ey, I agree with you. Marketing shouldn’t exist
i always let the carbonation escape before i drink it, as i don’t like it. i like the taste however
hmm, new: coke null!! no caffeine, no calories, no sweeteners, no carbonation, no added color, neutral ph…
Available at faucets everywhere.
