Does Coke ever learn not to change things that work?


If you love Coke Zero, you'd better stock up on it: Coca-Cola is ditching the drink.
Coke Zero will be replaced by a new sugar-free drink called Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Coke announced Wednesday.
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar has already been a success in 25 markets around the world, including Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Next month, it will be the United States' turn: the new drink will be coming to America in August.

So, what's the difference between Coke Zero and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar?
They are both sugar-free alternatives to Diet Coke, but Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is said to taste more like original Coke. They both have mostly black packaging, but Coca-Cola Zero Sugar sports the iconic red Coca-Cola disc.
Coca-Cola said it wanted to be as "clear and descriptive as possible" in the name change to make sure consumers knew the drink was sugar-free.

In a call with investors Wednesday morning, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey called the new drink a "reinvention of Coke Zero."

So basically Coke thinks that your typical consumer is dumber than a pile of rocks. Probably not inaccurate.

Regular coke only tastes good if there's a healthy dose of bourbon in it. It tastes even better if you leave the coke in the bottle/can and just drink the bourbon.

Coke Zero is ass, and anyone that favors it should be tossed out of a moving van.

That would spill the precious Coke Zero.

So no thank you.

The best part of that is how much coke is in that drink, but it would have been better with a plastic coke bottle.

Oh yeah, and coke zero tastes terrible.

This has GOT to be a troll. Nobody actually does that, do they? A distiller cared for those barrels for 15 years to craft a product just as he intended, and it gets dumped into a cup of caramel colored corn syrup water? One might as well walk into the distillery and slap the distiller in the face.

The label looks like 15 years to me, but I do stand corrected on the Coke since it appears to be Mexican and therefore sugar water, not corn syrup water.

I agree it has to be a troll. Pouring a generous shot out of a $,1000 bottle of bourbon, or any decent bourbon, and mixing it with any soda water is a sin that can't be forgiven through confession.
