Coke Zero

Coke Zero Point Of Purchase At It’s Best
(Pay no attention to the sexy blond model wearing nothing but the Coca-Cola Zero logo in body paint)
Coca-cola has introduced yet another diet soda product to their long list of soft drinks. Coke Zero, being a diet soda, has zero calories, (Hence the name) zero total fat, zero total carbs, zero protein, zero sugar, and 40 mg of sodium which is 2% daily intake. I will hazard a guess and say that most diet soda’s claim the same low calorie intake. But Coke Zero separates itself from all the others for one reason.
Taste!
I have tried many diet pops in my time and all of them left me not wanting for more. The only diet pop that is tolerable is Diet Dr. Pepper. (I ordered a Dr. Diet Pepper at a restaurant once and my son and wife almost fell over laughing at my mistake) All the other ones have such a bitter taste and a nasty after taste. I think these diet pops can be used as diesel fuel in a pinch.
Coke Zero however, as the commercials tout, it does taste a hell of a lot like Cokes flag ship brand cola, Coca-Cola Classic. Now hold on a minute! I didn’t say it tasted exactly like Classic, but very close.
I was truly skeptical and I had to find out for myself if the Coke commercials were lying or not. I went to the local gas station, fueled up and went inside and purchased a 20 ounce size plastic bottle of Coke Zero. The cost was 99 cents, right in line with Classic, same price. (I mention this for a few years back, Coca-Cola introduced Coke C2, half the calorie soda but 50% more in cost. A 20 ounce bottle was $1.49 compared to 99 cents.)

I took the bottle of Coke Zero home and placed it in the fridge to get it ice cold. (Nothing better than an ice cold pop) A couple hours later, it was time to test the new Coke Zero.
I twisted the cap off and it fizzled just like Coke Classic which was a good sign. Then I went for it and took a big guzzle. Zero had that full bodied taste that did not disappoint. If I didn’t already know, I would swear it wasn’t a diet soda. After taste? Forgetaboutit! Absolutely none. The first sip left me wanting more. I savored the rest of the bottle and each sip was as good as the last.
Coke Zero is the best diet soda on the market today and the Grassy Knoll Institute awards 5 out of 5 shots and highly recommends Coca-Cola Zero for a refreshing thirst quencher.

I can’t stand coca cola, only can drink it when there is no pepsi around. I agree with you on the Diet Dr. Pepper, that stuff is as good as the regular, except it does have a bit of an aftertaste, and if it get’s slightly warmer then ice cold, then it’s a goner.

LOTGK said
No, she’s not nude. She is covered in body paint. And I only attend trade shows, I don’t own them.

Zero has been my pop of choice since it came out. I would never have believed a diet soda could taste so much like real coke. I absolutely agree with your recommendation and I wish it looked as good on me as it does on the painted girl.

Or diet soft drinks.
