As someone who absolutely detests most diet soda (pop) I am pleased to announce an actually palatable carbonated diet cola.
Coke Zero
It's so much like the older version of Coke (before Coke-Classic, and the "New Coke" of the mid-1980's, I had to do a double-take.
My local Meijer grocery store handed out dixie-cup size samples of the newest "pause that refreshes" and I was stunned. Diet you say? HA! I had to go read the ingredients:
Coke Zero:
Carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, Aspartame, potassium benzoate...
Diet Coke:
Carbonated water, caramel color, Aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate...
Is the jockeying of one ingredient the difference? Who knows, but I can tell you that the one think I really miss about the original coke is that it was not as sweet at the newer versions. This diet-treat seems to capture that cripsness.
So - once again Coke - +1
Way to go!
maybe it's just me...

I was wrong - I tried it again later and it tasted more like TAB than COKE.
not so good.
I blame the sample at the store.
