    Just a new can. They’ve been selling caffeine free Coke Zero for 15 years, and caffeine free Diet Coke for even longer.

      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 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.

      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.

        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.

    I drink caffeine free zero because I like the taste but I need to reduce my caffeine and sugar consumption.

    source
  • binarytobis@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

      Isn’t there a difference been “diet” and “zero”? Like doesn’t one use aspartame and the other use a different “fake” sweetener?

      source
      • MacAttak8@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    It’s not useless. It’s marketing, pure capitalist marketing. Always has been. CocaCola is not a beverage company, it’s a marketing company.

    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).

    The “zero sugar” usually means they replace the sugar with something worse (that’s often also a laxative).

    source
    • uniquethrowagay@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

      source
      • Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

        source
      • boonhet@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    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”?

    source
    • lengau@midwest.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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”

      source
    • tetris11@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      kCal is a normal measurement in the UK too. I think anything being 4 kCal is probably negligible

      source
      • zaphod@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    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.
