i always let the carbonation escape before i drink it, as i don’t like it. i like the taste however
rain_worl@lemmy.world 2 months ago
hmm, new: coke null!! no caffeine, no calories, no sweeteners, no carbonation, no added color, neutral ph…

It has a use. Tasty fizzy drink with basically no calories, and caffeine fucks with my cannabis high.
cheat700000007@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m guessing zero is a lot harder, but maybe that guy who did it needs a new objective
Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
LabCoatz for those interested but he never said anything about zero sugar that I can recall so when it comes to difficulty I have no idea since I’m not a chemist.
BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Smoking a joint while drinking coffee this very moment 😅

Lucky! The combination gives me anxiety attacks these days. I can have one or the other but not both idk why.

I envy you it reminds me of my childhood. I’m currently enjoying a cider taking a break in from the heat doing yardwork.

alt: illustration of a can labeled “diet double dew”. it also says “half the sugar[,] half the caffeine of double dew”. “dew the math!”
Akasazh@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Half of a double? There might be a less verbose term for that.
daggermoon@piefed.world 2 months ago
I drink caffeine free zero because I like the taste but I need to reduce my caffeine and sugar consumption.
binarytobis@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I visited my brother recently and his downstairs fridge was completely full of diet caffeine free soda. I tried a few and they tasted shockingly close to their normal counterparts. I don’t trust it, there has to be a cost I don’t realize I’m paying.
But also, jesus christ at least sometimes drink some water. The whole family just hates water. They even have top notch H2O there, I’m jealous.
Duranie@leminal.space 2 months ago
Zero sugar sodas are 99% water.
If I have a glass of water, I’ll drink it when I’m thirsty. If I have flavored water, I’ll consume more because it’s enjoyable and I stay better hydrated. I tend to use a LOT of ice, so really I’m drinking that water too.
sober_monk@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I like it. Tastes like Coke, which I like as an occasional treat, doesn’t keep me up at night and doesn’t make me gain weight.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I mean, there’s still the cola taste?
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 months ago
And dissolved gas
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Rather not.

Isn’t there a difference been “diet” and “zero”? Like doesn’t one use aspartame and the other use a different “fake” sweetener?
MacAttak8@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This somehow implies Kryptonite is made of/has caffeine on its composition.
krisevol@lemmus.org 2 months ago
This is the perfect soda. All the flavor, with no drugs.
I don’t know what soda as caffeine to begin with.
offspec@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Almost every cola has caffeine as a given
krisevol@lemmus.org 2 months ago
I know, but i don’t want the caffeine.
abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It’s not useless. It’s marketing, pure capitalist marketing. Always has been. CocaCola is not a beverage company, it’s a marketing company.
expatriado@lemmy.world 2 months ago
- may i have a pepsi?
- is marketing ok?
Bhaelfur@lemmy.world 2 months ago
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, but she wouldn’t give it to me… Just a Pepsi.

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).
kamen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The “zero sugar” usually means they replace the sugar with something worse (that’s often also a laxative).
uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 2 months ago
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.
Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
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.
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
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.
offspec@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t think it’s very common to use alcohol sugars to sweeten drinks, you might be thinking of candy or gummy bears?
makeshift0546@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Tastes delicious and isn’t 250 cals a bottle you nerd.

Water that tastes fuckin well good? Sign me up
Decq@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So, Water…?
FishFace@piefed.social 2 months ago
Water tastes give, but cola tastes better, as do a lot of flavoured things!
Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hahaha yeah no I’m drinking that daily, I don’t have a sugar problem, I dont have a cafein problem, I have a soda problem
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Tbh you probably shouldn’t be drinking any of their products on a daily basis…
Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah alcoholics shouldnt drink alcohol daily either

Jack@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Doesn’t the USA use the word “calories” sometimes for kilocalories in food? So they divide the actual amount of calories by 1000. They also round certain things down, so that when they say “zero calories”, the can can actually have “3600 calories”?
lengau@midwest.social 2 months ago
Yes, and then they have a whole thing about how under 5 kcal per serving can be rounded to zero because it’s negligible.
That’s why despite nobody on the planet having ever eaten a single tic tac at a time, the serving size is 1 tic tac. That’s only 4 kcal, so in the US they can call it a “calorie-free snack”
tetris11@feddit.uk 2 months ago
kCal is a normal measurement in the UK too. I think anything being 4 kCal is probably negligible
zaphod@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
4 kCal is a lot. There is cal (small calorie) and Cal (large calorie), 1 Cal is 1000 cal or 1 kcal, 1 kCal would be 1 Mcal.
makeshift0546@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Rounding happens but no, you’ll find nothing when that kind of delta.
someguy3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Flavor town.
sheetzoos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
For some people this would be considered too spicy.
Syndication@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I mean it’s not far off in some unfortunate circumstances. I remember years ago I’ve heard of towns in Mexico that lack clean drinking water and people were drinking Coke because of the water it contained. Idk why, but that really stuck with me.
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Meanwhile people would take extra sugar extra caffeine and the OG coke too

Eldritch@piefed.world 2 months ago
Yes, but no. In this fucked up world some zeros are bigger than others.
TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine but I like soda, so I drink this. Mostly water and decaf coffee, though.
BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ohhh that reminds me I need to get some decaf. Nice.

How did it taste?
Nounka@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Zero taste… Would be fitting
Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ok
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Like water and brown.
KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Honestly sometimes you just want something for hydration and has a bit of flavor don’t get me wrong I love water but you know sometimes you want something that safety without having to worry about calories or caffeine.
Aeri@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I see little point to soda with caffeine
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just a new can. They’ve been selling caffeine free Coke Zero for 15 years, and caffeine free Diet Coke for even longer.
pulsewidth@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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)_/¯StillAlive@piefed.world 2 months ago
It’s just soda then?
dalekcaan@feddit.nl 2 months ago
🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s a cola flavored sugar free soda.
Different artificial sweeteners with slightly different taste profiles.
anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
We used to get caffeine free Diet Coke or Pepsi in the 80s for elementary school pizza parties.
It made the best burps.
MrKoyun@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
