What better for you? (Coke) - Page 2

Sprite Zero is decent, but it doesn't have the "pop" of regular sprite.

stevew · 05-22-2008, 02:25 AM

dola

A few years ago they had some amazing flavors of Fresca. Peach and Cherry, I think. They didn't last as long as they should have.

And my all time favorite niche beverage is Ruby Red Squirt. You can only find that certain places.

You want an absolutely terrible Zero product, try Powerade Zero. Try combining thirst-quenching with that horrible aftertaste. (It was so bad I actually looked at the ingredients and realized Salt was 4th. SO much for hydration.)

Coke Zero.

It has a less irritating aftertaste than the horrible taste left in your mouth after drinking Coke Light.

Ever heard of salt tablets? Salt helps you retain water and not become dehydrated...

Ya I thought that Gatorade and their ilk were all high in salt?

Coke Zero rocks.

Diet Coke will be around for a long time, though. Lots of people got used to the taste. Coke Zero, for instance, tastes too sweet to Mrs. A.

I tried a Pepsi Max the other day after reading this thread and it was really good.

I dunno if you let the kids have an occasional soda, but with Pepsi Max you really have to watch cause it has a ton of caffeine. Winds them up way too much, and can keep them up all night.

Diet 7up is really good.

Actually shorty this is not totally correct. I have to drink sugar free soft drinks due to a mild diabetic condition. So its not just about dieting. That said I definitely prefer coke and cherry coke zero, they simply taste better. Diet coke suxors.

Salt does NOT help keep you hydrated, salt in the body actually holds onto moisture, keeping it from being used as its needed. All the athletic drinks from gatorade on down contain large amounts of some salts that are needed by the body for muscle performance and brain function.

I understand that, my buddy is diabetic and he is stock full of Zeros (which got me on them)

True, but 90% of my meals involve eating meat. I've got plenty of salt already, but I guess it is an electrolyte.

I'm drinking a Coka Cola Vanilla Zero and it's alright. The first sip was omg good, but now that I had a few sips, it's just ok.

It's all about the Diet Dr. Pepper.

Jas_lov · 06-26-2008, 02:11 PM

My favorites are Diet Mountain Dew and Cherry Coke Zero. They both taste good.
