Coca-Cola Is Changing the Flavor of a Soda. Again.

[Sad Bunny]

Coca-Cola changed the flavor of its soda in 1985 and enraged a nation.

Now, the company is doing it again, risking another outcry. This time, it is changing the taste and look of one of its most popular soft drinks: Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, better known as Coke Zero, the diet spinoff that is supposed to closely resemble the sugary version of “classic” Coke.

Company officials said on Tuesday that the plan was to change the drink in such a way that it would “deliver an even more iconic Coke taste.”

Anxious Americans, or at least the ones who regularly quaff Coke Zero, will be the judge.

Already, on social media, worry and apprehension greeted the impending change. Some consumers vowed to switch to other drinks, like Diet Dr Pepper, or threatened to turn to the drink of Coca-Cola’s archrival, Pepsi.

Others recalled the marketing debacle of 1985, when Coca-Cola unveiled “The New Coke,” a sweeter version of the original soft drink that was rejected by many consumers.

Deliberate click bait from OP. They're changing the receipe of coke ZERO, not regular coke

Coke zero only been around since the late 2000s this is a non news story

They changed the taste of coke zero before because when it was first introduced it tasted terrible and by now I taste almost no difference to normal coke. They must have changed the sweetener to something more natural tasting.

I didnt drink soda growing up and the diet versions were definitely trash but the modern ones (i drink it from time to time now because of my mom) dont taste like that anymore. Probably because regular soda is all artificially flavored now anyway. They used to be naturally flavored so the difference was big. Now its all artificial, diet or not.

As someone who drinks the occasional diet soda, I'm not buying the reasoning. Coke Zero got it right the 1st time. Leave it alone.
