Diet Coke vs. Coke Zero?!


Question: Diet Coke vs!. Coke Zero!?
Ok so this has been bothering me for a long time now
I was comparing diet coke to coke zero!.!.!.and their the exact same
is there any difference between them!? they both have zero calories and 30 mg of sodium
why would they create the same product twice!?

and another question
how does diet pepsi max make you hyper if it has 0 calories and 35 sodium
I know there is ginseng and caffeine but wouldn't that make it at least a few more calories, considering it's supposed to get you hyped

please help me I'm desperate haWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Hot on the heels of Diet Coke With Splenda comes Coca-Cola Zero!. Coke Zero is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium (ace-k) and has zero calories!. The only chemical difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke is that Coke Zero has about half the aspartame but has more ace-k!.

Confused anyone!? It's a marketing thing - Coke have manufactured a "diet" coke without using the word diet!.!.!. which in their eyes will appeal to a different demographic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

diet coke has the "diet" flavor
coke zero IS a diet soda, however, is advertised to have the regular coke taste (although it doesnt!)

and as far as diet pepsi max, theres almost no difference between that and diet pepsi!. theres such a minimal addition of caffeine and ginseng that the nutrition facts (since they are rounded to the nearest 10) dont change!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The two cokes are marketing only in difference!.
Max (and most energy drinks)!.!.!. the ginseng etc is so low it won't add calories - once again more marketing than anything else!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

diet coke- aspartame ( equal)
Coke zero- splenda

Totally different sweetners, totally different taste- try the blind taste test!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't know about the nitty,gritty stuff but hands down-coke zero wins!!!!!!
Tastes completely diff from diet coke which is pathetic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the tastes are extremely different
coke zero is much much better tasting
while diet coke is bitterWww@FoodAQ@Com

i think diet tastes different but i dont know how
caffeine is the thing that makes you hyper in it, nothing else, well sugar helps but its mainly the caffeineWww@FoodAQ@Com

coke zero has less sugar i think :]Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think one of them is caffeine freeWww@FoodAQ@Com
