- crazygringo 4y agoWell you can't have it both ways my dude, because Coke and Diet Coke taste awfully similar in terms of flavorings. So you've got your history wrong somewhere then.
- pram 4y agoThey're not the same drink: "Diet Coke is not based on the Coca-Cola formula, but instead on Tab. The controversial New Coke, introduced in 1985, used a version of the Diet Coke recipe that contained high-fructose corn syrup and had a slightly different balance of ingredients." Why would New Coke have been developed from Diet Coke if it tasted the same as Coca-Cola? Anyway you're wrong, but I admire the confidence.
- crazygringo 4y agoThat reference is from Wikipedia but without a citation. It's as good as garbage. But the main point here is that Diet Coke is not a "completely different drink" from Coke. You can go refer to your taste buds on that one. Especially since you seem to find Tab so wretched.
- pram 4y agoIt’s amazing then that Diet Coke and Coke Zero exist simultaneously despite apparently being the exact same flavor!
- crazygringo 4y agoIsn't marketing amazing? Diet Coke was perceived as a women's beverage, so then they came out with Coke Zero in a "masculine" black can specifically in order to appeal to men without any "feminine" connotations. And it worked!
