It seems “No Sugar” (which I just heard of for the first time) is supposed to replace Zero but it’s not quite the same. (Anyway, even the “same” type of Coke is not the same across markets and if I remember correctly the Zero brand has been used for quite different products). https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/coke-no-sugar-is-supposed-to-be-replacing-coke-zero-but-australians-arent-playing-along/news-story/554d56b24aa232767dd62a3f07dfb7b0 https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/coke-no-suga... Edit: in which market do you say sucralose being used in “no sugar” coke? I can’t find any reference other than to “diet coke with splenda” (a brand of sucralose, which is used in combination with aspartame in that “diet” coke).

Here's a hotlink to an ingredient label images from one of our online supermarkets: http://laz-img-sg.alicdn.com/p/54a80f275b284804aa4000e9fa8999be.jpg_2200x2200q80.jpg http://laz-img-sg.alicdn.com/p/54a80f275b284804aa4000e9fa899...

I used to remember aspartame being present in Coke Zero, so Coke No Sugar (which seems to be marketed interchangeably as Coke Zero Sugar in this case) could actually be a new formula.

  Interesting, thanks. The zero brand seems to have been retired, and both "no sugar" and "light" use sucralose + acesulfame-K as sweetener (that's also the case for the US "diet coke with splenda” I mentioned, I mistakenly said it contains aspartame). https://www.coca-cola.com.sg/brands/coca-cola/coca-cola-no-sugar https://www.coca-cola.com.sg/brands/coca-cola/coca-cola-no-s... It seems, however, that in other countries both "no sugar" and "diet" contain aspartame + acesulfame-K (and cyclamate in some cases, but it's forbidden in some countries).
