Well 1st of all Coke Zero DOES NOT taste like the original Coke (not the one with cocaine by the way). Maybe that shouldn't have been mentioned. It has a different taste with a distinct, irritating after-taste. Coke Zero is more similar to Coke Light than the original. If you compare Coke Light ingredients with Coke Zero's, there isn't much difference. Coke's target wasn't just the diet freaks though, their advertising showed for certain that EVERYONE was intended to become a loyal buyer of the product. But it's not the case.
Since the hype died I forgot it existed till I saw a Coke Zero billboard, thus me writing this article. I haven't seen anyone drink Coke Zero since its giveaway days. I see it in stores, so I guess the fat people are still buying it. But they buy 1 bottle of Coke Zero and 4 Original. Well all their products can't be a hit. Until the next 1 I guess, who cares with trillions in the bank.
