This shocking possibility (god damn I'm still reeling and I haven't even confirmed it) dawned on me after just trying Coke Zero. I was skeptical, but surprisingly, it resembled real Coke enough for me to consider it a reasonable alternative. And it also has zero calories. Yet despite this, Diet Coke, a drink that tastes notably different - and most would argue worse - than regular Coke, is still being produced.
Incredible. Also incredible how Coke Zero manages to get that authentic Coke flavor almost perfectly.
