I mean, I see what you’re saying. I’ve had ones in the past that made me want to just put the can in the fridge till it goes flat eventually and I have to pour it out. But I’m starting to gravitate towards the zero coke and hadn’t noticed a horrible taste the last time I tried it.

​​@@BolteckFoxThat's because they changed the formula (again) and now it tastes exactly like the normal Coke. At least for me it does. There might be a small difference but it's not enough for me to care, and certainly not enough to justify consuming hundreds of empty calories. As someone who has always hated diet soda, these Zero sugar versions are really winning me over. I'll probably never touch a regular Coke again lol

They mess with your body. Diet stuff should be avoided if you're on a diet or/and are trying to lose weight. It's a real thing. The soda isn't any calories sure, but they way it screws up your body makes you take in way way more next meal and make you way more likely to crave high calorie foods... It's horrible how they market these drinks. They are for diabetics and other special medical conditions only...

this is late, but it's fascinating how familiarity can change people's preferences, since I've had to drink Diet Coke my whole life due to having Diabetes. They didn't even have Coca-Cola Zero when I was growing up lol. So I was so used to the Diet version that when I drank the regular kind, it tasted bad to me and left an after taste, but for me the Diet version didn't lol. So I was surprised when people who didn't have to drink the Diet version would say it had an after taste, but it seems very common lol.

Pop not soda

Too bad zero still sucks and no amount of advertising will ever compensate for the terrible flavour. If there is a choice between zero and coke, and they took coke away. i would rather drink water. Zero is just that bad, that WATER tastes better

I think it’s very possible

to be fair mat made a video a couple years back trying new drinks to replace diet coke so he has back ups

To be fair, the artificial sweetners used in diet coke have been found to cause an increase in inflammatory bowel diseases. The sweetners cause the bacteria to burrow into the lining and cause inflammation. Maybe that much sweet taste or sugar isn't healthy after all? I'm glad I don't drink sodas anymore. They're way too sweet! I can barely taste the flavour besides the sugar. I drink on average a can of beer daily though. Not healthier, but I prefer the taste and the lack of sugar rush.

Please, MatPat's Diet Coke addiction is pretty much American standard for soft drinks.They have millions that drinks like him.

despite the only problem that Diet Coke is actually worse than real coke it has like two sources of poison To be honest they're gonna shut down before he even gets a chance to save them And it all comes down to two different ways either he dies or he isn't fast enough

Best comment!

They still have sugar free vanilla. My go to order is a latte with sugar free vanilla and oatmilk for a low-carb keto Starbucks order.

@@SumoLucas I don’t count the vanilla since anywhere and everywhere could have it. I’m talking about everything else. Mocha, cinnamon, peppermint, caramel, hazelnut etc. seems like a good way to lose customers

I worked at Starbucks from 2015-2019 we didn’t sell much of these even though we did sell a ton of skinny vanilla. It’s mostly because of low marketing.Think about how alternative milks like oat and almond are incorporated in to popular drinks, but not sugar free syrups. Could have reformulated and re rereleased but no.

It's hard to argue Coke is smart when they won't even make a Sucralose version of their drink. Coke Zero is still Aspartame which is POOP! Until they make one using Sucralose like Monster did, I wouldn't even begin to take this seriously. This video is just more hype to get views for the channel, nothing more.

Probs something to do with the artificial sweeteners being bad for human consumption xD

And that is why I’m never drinking diet or sugar free sodas. Idc if it’s the last sodas available- I’ll GLADLY take the sugar over whatever weird stuff they put in those "diet" sodas

Wait- how does that happen?!????

@@kelvisaisawesome Her body must have been reacting to it with inflammation which caused pain

welp hate to break it to ya, but multiple sodas already use aspartame. Personally i just stick to kool-aid + soda water (so i can add my own suger) or mexican coca-cola whenever i can find it (it uses raw cane suger, and tastes better imo)

You should try Pur brand gum, its aspartame free. They use xylitol which is dentist recommended since it’s good for your teeth because it reduces acid in the mouth and starves bacteria.

You can always get a carbonation machine and make your own soda (and coke) with soda syrups and your sweetener of choice.

I'm sensitive to a few types of sweeteners (migraines) and it's so hard to find drinks I can have, I've been relying on Coke Classic mainly haha

I get headaches with sweeteners, Coke is my last bastian but my Exit strategy is no alcohol or even low alcohol beers, no joke, I can pick up a case of generic "stubbies" at 2% alcohol CHEAPER than coke per litre, you can make home made "lilt" with fruit juces water and sugar syrup, then soda stream it as a sweet refreshment. Seriously, if the industry or Government don't want my money/want all my money for a glass of pop then screw em

It's worse than you think, this is shrinkflation to the extreme being sold as a positive. A regular 12 pack of coke costs appx. $8.00 at my local grocery store, and contains 144 fl oz of product. The Mini version has 10 cans at 7.5 fl oz per can and costs $6.50 for 75 fl oz of product. You're basically paying 19% less for 50% of the product.

Does diet coke really has 0 calories??

@@tristanpiandoro6275 It's anywhere from 1-5 calories. They're allowed to say 0 calories due to it being below 5 calories.

I see 20 packs of regular zero sugar cans all the time when shopping (regular coke goes up to 24 packs, both are priced the same)

@@cbegefdkih yeah regular zero sugar, but the SPECIAL cokes, LIKE I SAID, have only MINI CANS zero sugar or not

i think thats how its been for me over the years as well. more so the recent last 3 years. i was avidly buying tons more energy drinks for instance monster pringles as the food and rockstar at times or other junk food purely because the premotional content on the products adheared to unlocking free things through a code on the games i played. even those i didnt really play anymore, i would still buy them to eat drink and use the codes for the games i had. the halo infinate codes, the apex legends codes, i think at one point even the MW II codes were the few games i had that i would tend to buy these products more often because it was relatable and a sick way to chill out knowing i have something new and to chill out and show off. when i played the early seasons of halo infinate with the premotional content going into BTB and seeing so many players with the sick oreo premotional skin looked so sick and made me want to buy oreos just to try and get it. it was annoying tho because it was on the oreo thins which i wont buy because i prefer the original. even tho i stopped playing apex, i was buying monster energy drinks anyway so i thought i might as well buy the ones that have the free codes and content just so i have things most people dont in the game if i were to ever return to it. the only ones i really got from MW II i think were some stickers, emblems and xp tokens as i didnt buy many of them.

It’s awful how they’re trying to trick people. I’ve accidentally drunk several beverages here in Switzerland because they don’t disclose the artificial sweeteners clearly on the front. I guess I have to get in the habit of reading every single beverage’s ingredients (which is hard when you’re buying something unfamiliar from behind the counter at the boulangerie 😕)

Same here. It was bad enough that I had to switch to Coke after Pepsi betrayed me, if Coke does the same they can kiss my money goodbye...

That's terrible! I'm not allergic, but personally hate artificial flavors. They just aren't the same at ALL.

I drink regular soda, when I have them I pack WATER..with water bottle

after you drink it a few times without drinking regular soda it starts tasting the same as the sugar version

and aspertame can cause brain damage and sucralose kills healthy bacteria in the stomach

OMG THAT EXPLAINS WHY I GET SICK DRINKING IT!!!!

I like diet drinks but the migraines and floaters are not worth it.

I was just waiting for him to say some sweeteners give cancer the entire time

Everything in moderation. The early studies are showing that artificial sweeteners can impact the gut micro biome negatively. I just cut down on simple sugars and eat more whole plant foods with fibers. I also exercise and sleep good. Also maintain a social life. People miss the importance of these few factors, and gut micro biome may be one of the biggest influence on our health. I wouldn’t mess with it by consuming artificial sweeteners. Maybe once in a while is fine, especially if you’re gonna have soda every once in a while and have the artificial sweetener version of it instead. But ideally you wouldn’t be putting that kinda stuff in your body in the first place, since there’s way too much simple sugar in one can/bottle.

ok

Erythritol is a really good sugar alternative in my experience. None of the downsides, gets metabolized differently from other fake sugars, and the sugar-free Monster Energies already use it if you want to know how good it really is.

@@JoeARedHawk275 Ignoring gut microbiome, there are recent studies that point to artificial sweeteners, specifically sucralose, being genotoxic.

Still there are people that have negative reactions to artificial sugars. For example it can induce headaches that have chronic migraine illnesses

For now

are we sure that diet coke will really be gone? cuz every where I go, I only see coke, and I like it... :)

That's not a choice Wal-Mart is making, that's what Coke demands of their vendors, since they are the ones that send out the schematic for product placement.

@@kumiho4970 I know it is. Many brands especially large brands like Coke, or Oreo for cookies those companies often get a lot of say as to exactly how and where there products is displayed.

Yeah, at work they have a fridge full of sodas, and they put the Cherry Coke and the Cherry Coke Zero next to each other, so I thought it was all regular Cherry Coke for awhile and avoided buying any, but noticed the Zero Sugar label eventually. So diet Dr. Pepper got my money instead, for I don't know how long.

agree to disagree

Weren’t people already talking about this for years? I remember 10 years ago hearing people talk bad about aspartame and how it could cause cancer

Yeah I've been really worried for mat for a long time now

People are blowing it out of proportion. They only are going to put it in "possibly carcinogenic" with stuff like pickled vegetables, talc based baby powder, gasoline, and welding fumes. The group above it has frying emissions, red meat, and night shift work but no one is freaking out about those.

​@@anthonynguyen1289I also remember hearing like 15 years ago, people coming out and exposing that aspartame was made from the fermented waste of e coli bacteria. I never touched it again after that cuz ewww. They've spent millions keeping others quiet to preserve their brand so honestly it wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah, it can cause cancer in rats, not much evidence of it causing cancer in humans. Best not to drink a lot of it in any case.
