    Zaxby's has Coke Zero. It's Diet Coke for dudes. Never understood why they changed the flavor of Coca-Cola when they made Diet Coke. Diet Coke tastes like the taste you'd get when licked 9-volt batteries to see if they were still working. It stings the taste buds. Coke Zero also mixes well with Bacardi or JD.

    I remember New Coke and how sickly sweet it was. I think it tasted even sweeter than Pepsi. I still think that conspiracy theory about them pulling it to boost sales and camoflauge the inclusion of high-fructose corn syrup rather than cane sugar is a strong possibility.

    Is it? I've never had either one - the latter because I don't do diet pop, the former just because. What is the difference, other than the name, if any?

    More than there should be, actually. Coke Zero tastes like Coke. Diet Coke doesn't even try.

    Bu-BAM. We just checked out the "new" grocery store in town. Zero in this 16.9 ounce plastic bottles - four sixes for 10 bones.
    I love Coke Zero.

    A good friend of mine is a loyal Tab drinker. You can buy it almost anywhere, but it's not advertised at all. Apparently there's kind of Tab cult following out there.

    I actually preferred the New Coke -- probably because I was a Pepsi guy as a kid anyway.

    I love Coke Zero. It's been so long since I drank non-diet pop that I probably wouldnt' be able to tell the difference anyway, but it's miles better than Diet Coke.

    Boston Market has Coke Zero on their tap lines.
