Coca-cola famously tried to sell bottled tap water in the UK as Dasani, but they abandoned it after they were very quickly exposed and ridiculed.
Uses:
- Pregnant women who would like a sugar-free cola beverage but can’t consume large amounts of caffeine.
- People with anxiety, insomnia, or other conditions that are worsened by caffeine who would like a sugar-free cola beverage.
- Anyone who would like a sugar-free cola beverage without caffeine?
Mind your own and let people enjoy their lives (and their sugar-free cola beverages).
In the 80s, they called this Caffeine Free diet Coke and it was even free of kryptonite.

All that really changed is that "zero" is now more catchy than "diet".
Diet coke retains the "new coke" recipe but with aspartame whereas coke zero is the "classic coke" recipe just with ace k and aspartame
I think, idk what I'm talking about I just like coca cola (the drink, not the company)
I think they only put aspartame in Diet Coke but I could be wrong
My source tells me both have both aspartame and ace k (Acesulfame potassium), but their flavour formulation is different. Diet Coke is meant to be a little different from Classic Coke, while Coke Zero is meant to mimic Classic Coke. So we were all a little right and a little wrong.
Isn't there a difference been "diet" and "zero"? Like doesn't one use aspartame and the other use a different "fake" sweetener?
So up until recently I thought the same. I thought “Zero Sugar” used sucralose (Splenda) and diet used aspartame. Compared them at the store and Discovered that both Mountain Dew zero sugar and diet mountain dew are sweetened with the same fake sweetener, aspartame. The two drinks taste different to me. Maybe other brands do use different sweeteners but not Pepsi it seems.
Typically, zero sugar versions include aspartame AND acesulfame K to improve the artificial sweetener flavor, where diet versions only contain aspartame.
TIL. Thanks!
This somehow implies Kryptonite is made of/has caffeine on its composition.
This is the perfect soda. All the flavor, with no drugs.
I don't know what soda as caffeine to begin with.
Almost every cola has caffeine as a given
I know, but i don't want the caffeine.
I mean, there's still the cola taste?
And dissolved gas
Rather not.
Just a new can. They’ve been selling caffeine free Coke Zero for 15 years, and caffeine free Diet Coke for even longer.
The new can is really cool though. I definitely would buy this is I saw it in a store. The marketing would work on me.
Yeah.. I don't drink Coke often but I like caffeine free diet coke / coke zero. I don't want the sugar and I don't need caffeine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It has a use. Tasty fizzy drink with basically no calories, and caffeine fucks with my cannabis high. I get Canadian store brands tho.
I'm kinda pissed the Coca Cola recipe that was recently reverse engineered was the sugar version instead of zero.
Smoking a joint while drinking coffee this very moment 😅
I envy you it reminds me of my childhood. I'm currently enjoying a cider taking a break in from the heat doing yardwork.
Must've been an interesting childhood...
Sorry I should have quantified that younger than 30 to me was my childhood lol. I didn't clean up until I had kids.
Can is full of water
Next up - Coca Cola Still: all the same refreshing taste of Coke, but without any carbonation! Life is busy, just be Still.
I mean I used to regularly have a Cuba Libre made with Caffeine Free Coke Zero. I'd definitely say it has a use; rum and Coke with lime after a nice dinner is fucking delicious, and the zero caffeine doesn't keep me awake at night.
I haven't seen Caffeine Free Coke Zero in any of my local stores for years so I'll be on the lookout for this new "zero caffeine, zero sugar" version.
there's still salt
I drink caffeine free zero because I like the taste but I need to reduce my caffeine and sugar consumption.
