    Both ‘Diet Cokes’ and ‘Coke Zero’ are low calorie soft drinks compared to regular coke. Both have similar ingredients which are carbonated purified water, flavour, artificial sweeteners aspartame, acesulphame potassium, preservative and caffeine.

    Diet Coke came on market in 1982; preferred by many in America and became the number one sugar-free drink. Diet Coke is also known as ‘Coca-Cola light’ in some countries and it is the No. 3 soft drink in the world. It is preferred by people who want no calories, but plenty of taste. Diet coke comes in many different flavours such as Black Cherry Cola Vanilla, Cola, Cola Green Tea, Cola Lemon, Cola Lemon Lime, Cola Lime, Cola Orange and Cola Raspberry.

    But Coke Zero only offers’ Coca-Cola’ taste with zero calories. It is preferred mostly by young adults and it is sweetened with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium (Ace K).

    So overall the only key difference between the two drinks is in the proportions of the ingredients, which actually give different flavour profile.

    Coke Zero has 0.5 kilocalories per 100ml while Diet Coke contains 1 calorie. It’s been believed that men are more reluctant to buy diet coke because the word ‘diet’ associated with women. Therefore, to market the product ‘Coke Zero’ been produced to associate masculinity.

    Coke Zero is supposed to taste exactly like regular coke. Diet Coke is just diet.

    Coke zero is SUPPOSED to taste more like regular coke but it's not, it has its own taste ( not really big fan of it btw ) different from diet cock too.

    In fact it's more a commercial trick to make men drink more diet coke, because ( according to statistics they made ) men consider diet coke as a "girl beverage" ( not really here in europe, maybe it's really the case in usa i dunno )..

    So they made a black cool package and logo, tried to change taste to make it taste more like real coke, even it's not really, and advertising on it especially to target men.

    Coke 0 tastes like classic Coke.

    Diet Coke has a different taste.

    Being a Coke drinker, I can "almost" stand the taste of Coke Zero. It's pretty close to the taste of regular Coke.

    I won't go near Diet Coke. The flavor of that stuff is nasty. It has a funky chemical taste, to me, and I can't get past it.

    I'd rather drink unsweetened tea than either one of those.
