But they've used this combination for a long time as far as I know. So why the difference?
There was a period in which CCC experimented with sucralose instead of aspartame+acesulfame P, as I recall the "diet coke" got sucralose and the "coke zero" got aspartame+acesulfame P. But they went back to only one thing, and ditched the sucralose variant.
- asdff 5y agoLots of research and engineering. Diet coke has to taste like diet coke now, customers expect and want that taste specifically. Coke zero was developed from the ground up to try and taste like coke. It's very much a working soda that sees updates as food science technology improves to try and get it ever closer to standard coke taste. It was most recently reformulated in 2021 actually.
