 Review: Coke Zero - TannerWorld Junction
Unlike Diet Coke, which is sweetened with aspartame, Coke Zero is powered by both aspartame and acesulfame potassium (also known as Ace-K).
This is in contrast to Coke's other "not officially diet but it really is" drink, Coke C2, which is sweetened by a mix of aspartame, sucralose, and Ace-K. The packaging is very cool, in my opinion.
It should be noted that the formula for Coke Zero is a diet version of the Coke Classic formula, whereas the formula for Diet Coke is actually a diet version of New Coke/Coke II, thus there is a big difference in taste.
