What’s the Difference Between Diet Coke and Coke Zero

Описание: Diet Coke and Coke Zero both promise zero sugar and zero calories. Yet, they taste completely different. Why?
In this video, we dive deep into the surprising history and science behind Coca-Cola's two most famous sugar-free drinks. From the launch of Diet Coke in 1982 to the strategic invention of Coke Zero in 2005, we explore how one ingredient change—and a massive shift in psychology—created two distinct identities.
We analyze the chemistry of sweeteners (Aspartame vs. Acesulfame Potassium) and the marketing psychology that targets two very different types of people. Are you choosing the taste, or are you choosing the feeling?
