Most of the Year 8 primnary school kids in Te Aroha weigh 70 kilos or more. They dont work out much either mind you! -

Someone told me it has more caffeine than regular Coke, and is aimed directly at Pepsi Max.<br />

<br />
Yeah, Coke Zero has more caffeine than normal Coke, but less than Diet Coke.<br />
<br />
I'm also a fan of Coke Zero, and get a fair bit of shit for it from my mates. Not as much as I got when I drank Diet Coke though. I didn't like Diet Coke at first, but give yourself time to get addicted, and soon enough you'll be craving it just like you did normal coke.<br />
<br />
Every now and then when I buy a combo they'll give me real coke by mistake. I consider taking it back, but then I get that nasty water behind the eyes thing happening and it feels so good - just a bit more, then I'll take it back. Then, oh what the hell I never get real coke, may as well make the most of it. Man I want a coke. -
totally sold on the zero myself - had an ex flatmate who loved his fizzies and we got him on the zero versions (coke and sprite) combined with exercise he lost heaps nearly 20kg... I'm not a hot drink fan (coffee etc) but I need the caffeine to start the engine during the day...<br />

From my can of Coke Zero on my desk ... its sweetener component is 951 and 950<br />
<br />
I think Diet is just the 950 ?aspartame? one ...<br />
<br />
Real coke has the evil fattening sugar stuff ...<br />

I was at a first aid course a few months ago and I had a 600ml bottle of coke zero during the morning session and walked in after lunch with a new bottle of coke zero. This lady, who mustve been about 130kg, standing at about 5 foot 3 said to me from across the room "another bottle of that diet stuff? dont you know diet fizzy drink causes brain cancer" So I said, "I guess brain cancer is better than ending up obese with diabetes", to muffled laughter across the room. Didnt really think about how it came across til after I sat down but I guess it explained why she didnt talk to me the rest of the course.<br />

I think it tastes like crap. It tastes nearly the same as normal coke when drinking, but I can't tolerate the aftertaste.<br />
<br />
Anyway, im completely off fizzy drinks for the first few months of my diet (unless theres booze in it).<br />

Doesnt taste as good as original coke but least i dont feel so bad when i buy it when its on speciall at the supermarket...and tastes fine with Jack Daniels or with Rum -
In passing, it's hell on wheels for stripping grease off things like chains and engines. Stick the offending article in Diet Coke or equivalent for a day or so, wash down with soapy water, away you go! <br />
<br />
Not sure it's so great for humans, as a result, but what the hell... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> -
Ive been hooked on Coke Zero for sumtime now, in the weekend i was offered a glass of 'normal' Coke and fuck me it tasted awful! <br />
<br />
Anybody else find that too when they have gone back to normal coke? -
[quote name='phoenetia']<br />
all the fat pricks at work drink this stuff, never been a fan of coke myself.<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
I went off coke for a long time, always loved it thats why i tried to avoid it! But when coke zero cam along i jumped on it!<br />
Took a little bit to get used too but now i never go without it, mostly for the odd nip or rum or whisky :shifty: -
fark i'd love to see some stats on how zero is doing against regular....<br />
<br />
just thought that when i was in the supermarket the other day and it the shelf with normal coke hadn't been touched and the zero shelf was getting near empty<br />
<br />
must have a pretty close market share i reckon -

Yeah, it seems unusual to see someone drinking normal coke now. Coke zero was marketed as a diet drink for men, it definately seems to be reaching its target audience pretty well. -

If Coke played its cards right it could be a major sponsor of the fern <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

If given a choice I will still drink normal Coke, but at least for once, Coke Zero there is a palatable alternative, as opposed to freakin Diet Coke... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
