There was 2005's Coke Zero, which was practically the same as Diet Coke but meant to appeal to men who were too embarrassed to drink a sissy weight loss beverage like all those weight-obsessed ladies out there.

I myself always preferred Sunset Sarsaparilla.

Who wrote this inaccuracy? Coke Zero sales are responsible for a large portion of Coca Cola sales?

Forget cola - my new addiction is root beer, preferably A&W. This is my new drug/drink of choice.

Diet Coke is not bad, especially with a squeeze of fresh lime but for the title of liquid crack (diet) it has got to be Diet Dr. Pepper.

Took me years to stop drinking soda, it is most certainly addictive. Won’t touch it at all now, out of sheer terror I will get hooked again.

I spent 30 years in the soda business (see screen name)

I think the author is on crack...

It’s like me writing about brain surgery...believe me I’m no brain surgeon

Coke Zero does not taste like Diet Coke.

Diet Coke is sweetened with aspartame; Coke Zero is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium. Using two sweeteners keeps the concentration of each below the threshold, where you notice any "chemical taste", or aftertaste. Apparently, I'm not the only one who notices the improvement.

I used to be (still am) truly mystified by the relationship of women to Tab, it was puzzling.

Cool. And always nice to see Coke kicking Pepsi’s ass.

I drink maybe five Cokes a year, and when I do, I drink regular Coke. Don’t think it is going to kill me or make me fat.

Can’t stand soda. Well, maybe original Pepsi on occasion.

Now, BEER on the other hand ...

I don’t need to lose weight, I just drink Diet Coke because I prefer the taste to regular coke.
