Comment on What the hell even is Diet Coke?

Aspartame has about the same amount of calories as sugar (4kcal per gram). But it’s much more sweet so you need very little of it. So there is a very tiny amount of sweetener which does contain calories but it’s rounded down to 0.

The difference is also big enough that cans of diet coke float and regular sink.

  I don’t even LIKE diet coke! But I gotta know if you’re full of shit…

If memory serves a 12oz can is just a little under 1/2 calorie.

  If tens of thousands of commercials in the 80s were right…
  
  “Less than a calorie, Diet Coke!”
