    Making your own mind up is one of the last freedoms anyone really has.
    Use that freedom.

    Is it not 'natural' sweeteners, so not diet at all?

    Sure coke zero and diet coke are the exact same products, only theyre marketed differently, one aimed at the male population (0) and the other female (diet)

    Actually the caffeine content is different in them AFAIK. Diet Coke has a higher caffeine amount whereas coke zero has nearly the same amount as normal coke.

    Also Coke Life tastes like watered down coke IMO, had it once don't plan on touching it again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 232 ✭✭TheOtherBloke


    Coke life provides an option that contains less sugar and even fewer calories and that is sweetened from natural sources. All shyte though. Normal coke all the way

    According to teen ds it's the same taste.

    I'd try it but 1 Euro is a lot to waste if it turns out to be not nice. Think I'll stick to regular Coke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,138 ✭✭✭SaveOurLyric


    Is a great and innovative product from Coca-Cola I think. Great tasting, its sweetened with cane sugar and stevia leaf extract, and really gives you a refreshing up-lift with 35 percent fewer calories than other leading colas. The distinctive green label and visual identity is also a great job and makes it stand out in store displays. Shows how great Coke is at expanding their sparkling beverage portfolio to meet their consumers' evolving needs and preferences. A terrific product, that really redefines the soft drink landscape. I stock up every week for the whole family.

    Yip, "natural" sweeteners but apparently there's more natural sugar vs a regular coke.

    edit: "only" two thirds of the calories

    It's not too bad when ice cold, but it certainly lacks the kick of normal Coke.

    Fairly sure it's the case of spotting the several posters that don't get sarcasm.

    I don't like the shade of green on the tin

    Also pepsi max is lovely

    A bit too like Diet Coke for my liking. Gives that same foamy head as diet when you pour a glass of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,885 ✭✭✭Tzardine


    This thread reminded me of something.

    Dunnes own brand cola is cheaper than their own brand water (Both 2L)

    What in the name of god is it made of if they can sell it cheaper than water. ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    The groups of posters that normally arrive well before now to inform us how coke is horrible stuff and how they wouldnt touch it if it was all they had when stranded in the desert must be on their break.

    Given my intake of real coke, coke Zero should have slashed my daily calorie intake. I lost a stone in 6 weeks and then proceeded to put 2 stone back on over the following months. Didn't help my blood sugar levels either like it was supposed to. So last week when we ran out of zero I said fcuk it, back to real coke for me. One glass and Inwas out the door to buy some zero. I cannot tolerate the real stuff now. Horrible sickly sweet syrupy goo that leaves a coating in my mouth. I now understand ow some people hate the stuff. Love me zero still though.

    there is a "natural" sweetener that comes from some plant, is like 1000x sweeter than sugar so low cal. tastes like ass tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    I tried it just to see what it was like. It's ok, it's better than diet coke pish, has a fuller taste than Cole zero but isn't as nice as regular Coke.
