hey guys it's Ian K for peep this out back again with another one for ya here
at the Colorado Street bridge or as it's more commonly referred to around these
parts of suicide bridge it's a very haunted place with still very scenic
nonetheless hey a little change of scenery outside of my normal in car
reviews no matter how haunted this place may be is not necessarily a bad thing
and considering it's during the day right now I think I'm alright
but guys I'm actually here to take a look at the newest update to one of my
favorite all-time soft drinks ever Coke Zero now I remember when this first came
out about 10 or 12 years ago I definitely preferred it instantly Diet
Coke was never really my thing and even though overall for regular coke
I do prefer the Mexican version of it in the longneck bottles pure cane sugar is
easily the way to go this was a pretty decent version on something as close to
that but with a little bit more of an aftertaste of regular coke and it was
zero calories so I actually prefer this over Diet Coke so let's just say I was
more than surprised when I heard they were going to update the flavor of Coke
Zero because I thought they nailed it initially on the first run but guys here
we go coca cola zero sugar something a little
bit different it's got quote "new and improved taste" I don't know how good
this is gonna to be but again if it's building upon the classic that I think
Coke Zero really is I think we have a lot to look forward to with this but
we're going to find out right now round one fight I guess you can say this is
technically my first versus type of video and I really kind of wanted to see
how these were going to work against each other so let me go with a classic
swig of a classic drink in my opinion here because I do think Coke Zero is
easily one of the better drinks out there especially for something with zero
sugar already let me try this first it's got that classic rich coca-cola
aftertaste that Diet Coke simply does not have and that's what makes it so
amazing this is going to be very hard to top guys but again I'm going to be
having the same type of drink from the same company with supposedly an improved
flavor but I got to tell you guys easy favorite on this one I would probably
still buy this if I saw this available in the store shelves only maybe to stock
up on the nostalgia factor of it here because if you guys remember the New
Coke fiasco about the new and improved flavor how that didn't fly very well
with people I sure hope that's not going to be the
same case with this version because I do believe Coke Zero is a classic flavor
with zero calories and a much closer flavor to regular coke anyway
well done and as with any type of taste testing versus battle you absolutely have to
clean your palate in between so nothing mixes with anything else you may have
just had I've got some green tea to kind of erase everything completely here hang
on one sec there we go all gone round two fight alright coca-cola zero
and right off the bat guys I can tell you the only main difference that I'm
seeing here on the label compared to the other is that 70 milligrams of sodium on
the regular Coke Zero this new coca-cola zero sugar is got 60 milligrams of
sodium and it's actually listening potassium at 80 milligrams at 2% so that
is a small change compared to the regular label on Coke Zero but let's
give it a shot and see what this flavor is like of course you've got the classic
carbonation all the goodies the 16.9 fl. oz. bottle all the same there we
go it's the updated coca-cola zero sugar
that is different that is a little different
Wow I am impressed already I am seriously impressed already one more
swig on this and I'm going to give you that detailed breakdown hang on
Wow guys I don't really want to liken this to like describing it as beer if
there's no way this can be beer obviously but it's a very full flavored
rich embodied type of coke flavor at the very end same amount of sweetness that
I'm used to from Coke Zero but it just seems more full it seems more rich if
you've had regular coke before and you have that sugary rush like right
afterwards like when you when you sip it very very sweet and it kind of hangs for
a bit this is a lot closer to regular coke and here I thought Coke Zero was
going to actually be that and I guess initially it was because that's all that
was available when they first came out and it was definitely sweeter than Diet
Coke but this one actually has more of a full-bodied richer sugary type of
aftertaste again with zero sugar zero calories that's pretty crazy I don't
know if the potassium makes any difference here but this is basically
say it's got all the same things as the other one not a significant source of
saturated fat trans fat cholesterol fiber vitamin D calcium iron all the
usual stuff I guess but guys very interesting formula new
and improved taste I think it's just got more of a richer more full-bodied
version of classic coke but without all of that calories and obviously all the
sugar that it's got wow that is really good and I got to say if you're having
this cold right from the fridge which I actually had this in a small ice chest
when I brought it this is actually really tasty guys I do have to say don't
think I'm going to miss the Coke Zero as much but I'm definitely a fan of
coca-cola zero sugar it's a small update in terms of the labeling but guys its
flavor that's where it counts and this really does satisfied I'm gonna have to
say overall on a scale of 1 to 10 on this one I'm gonna have to give this one
an easy 10 out of 10 guys it really simulates the flavor of coke with that
more full body type of rich flavor at the very end folks here now that I'm
thinking about it was sweeter but then it kind of
disappeared quickly so it had the flavor initially at the end but it didn't hang
back I'm kind of like a regular coke would coca-cola zero sugar is a lot
closer to that and I think this one is easily going to be the one you're gonna
to want to go with there if you have a choice between Diet Coke and this one
this is easily going to satisfy or regular coke type of flavor by giving
you more of that full-bodied rich flavor on top of that outstanding and those are my
thoughts in the new coca-cola zero sugar coming at you from the very scenic yet
very haunted suicide bridge here in Pasadena California guys and like I
always say I've got new content every single week here on my channel so while
you stay tuned for the next review coming real soon in the meantime
stay frosty
