welcome to peep this out reviews with Ian K stay frosty
what's going on everyone and welcome back to another high quality foodie feature for you here
on the channel this time with the official sequel to a comparison review that i did about three or
so years ago at the infamous pasadena bridge and as you can see on your screen here right now guys
it was the then upgraded coke zero formula compared to the older version on the market
and spoiler alert given the fact that i really enjoyed that variation of the upgraded formula
and actually the can itself too there which is really cool we've actually got a brand new
variant which is supposedly now more delicious and guys i gotta admit i like this can a lot better
it's like the reverse color scheme with this one here it's simple but it easily stands out
and i'm definitely digging that zero sugar on this variation and again supposedly more
delicious and i can't wait to really see if it is truly more delicious because that variation
that i tried back then was pretty tasty guys it really felt like it was a little bit closer to
regular coke the sweetness was definitely elevated still zero sugar and zero calories on this as well
so very curious to see how the new variation is gonna go with this here so how this is gonna go
just like before i'm actually gonna pop the top on this we're gonna pour some into a clear cup
i'm gonna taste it both ways we'll do the same with the new variation and hopefully
maybe we'll see a difference i'm very curious to see how sweet that new one's going to be
round one fight all right so let's get started on this one let's pop the top on this one here
we've got a nice situation of frosty goodness on the top you can kind of see it right there
let me go for a little core action for you we'll just keep putting it in it's a tall
cup here naturally the same color let's give this a shot i've actually got some green tea
on the side here to clean the palette as well before we get into the next one let's give this
a shot first with the original upgraded version about three years ago of coke zero first hang on
nice it tastes very much like coke very sweet
but a little bit more foamy on that one there but even still the color is definitely
on point it looks the part naturally the flavor let's go for it in the cup itself
tasty i mean it's the same naturally you may get a different experience
drinking directly from the can compared to a cup obviously from the can i think and
also a glass bottle would have been cool as well let's go for one more
i like it i really like it to me there's really no difference compared to what i remember from
the last time out and i've had coke zero a few times over the years since that time and the
flavor definitely feels a lot sweeter a lot more like regular coke but apparently i guess some more
improvement was needed but even still guys this is still very much like coke to me and i like the
fact that obviously it's zero sugar but you're still getting the essence of a strong strong
coke flavor in this one especially on the sugary end and this has no sugar which is crazy but cool
so definitely a banging situation either way and actually you can probably find this in the stores
still they're probably going to blow out the original stock before they move over completely
to the new variation which is what i saw in my store they basically had a few of these on top
and a whole bunch of the old on the bottom but as you can see again i'm really digging the can round
two fight now more delicious on this one let's pop it and see what's going on with this and still
all that frosty goodness in there let's go for a little pour on this one
and this one definitely feels like it is the same action right there here we go
the upgraded formula already three years later for coke zero coca-cola zero sugar however you
wanna call it let's go for a sip from this and then we'll get into the cup here we go
hang on a second another one
wow i'm conflicted right now the sweetness is not apparent up front with this one it almost
feels like a muted type of coke believe it or not i'm not getting a very sweet flavor
from this but the essence of coke is there but it doesn't really feel as foamy either hang on
i am not getting this as more delicious to be honest wow are you serious you know what hold
on one second i probably should have done this before i jumped into the new version of the coke
let me take a sip of the tea real quick just to fully clean the palette i'll go for this again
all right let's try this again another one
it doesn't really make a difference wow that is really interesting so far
okay let me go for a little bit of this one here in the cup
so far i'm a little underwhelmed guys i'm a little underwhelmed hang on
no man that's crazy it's a flatter version of coke i mean there's a little bit of sweetness there
but it's not in your face upfront apparent like the other one which is crazy so hang on one second
i am not feeling that let's go for the original less
upgraded variation the original one hang on do it
this has more flavor this has more of the pseudo fake flavor i would say of what a
regular coke should taste like that's really interesting to me right now just
do it yeah it's got a little bit more of the upfront sweetness that i would get from a regular
coke as well especially the mexican variant which is my favorite from the glass bottles
guys this so far actually i still think is the better formula so now let me go for the tea again
okay all gone let's keep going
no no i think this is a step backwards i really do i mean i love the can but the flavor is not in
your face up front like this is coke i don't want to say it tastes like a fake version of coke like
an off brand but i got to be real this is feeling very off-brand to me right now it really is
this is torture man i am super disappointed right now okay one more with the cup itself here and i
think i'm gonna call it but man another one yeah no this is not this is a no bueno situation for
me it really is a no bueno situation i like this formula i think i may have to stock up
more on the original upgraded variation from three years ago which took the place of what i thought
was a pretty tasty version of coke zero to begin with and actually migrating it to this one here
i am not feeling this one here guys now more delicious it's got all the same information on
the back potassium 60 milligrams two percent it's pretty much the exact same label but
really a very different type of drink i mean i love the can i almost wish actually i do wish all
the contents that were in this can is actually in the new can that's what they need to do
but i am not feeling this variation of zero sugar coca-cola with this one um i'm not
feeling this at all for like the second upgraded version of this since it's come out originally
no bueno i'm surprised this one made it past any type of testing they did whatever focus group
they did but this one definitely feels like it is so much sweeter finish him all right so i'm not
gonna waste any more time with this one jumping right to the rating i'm gonna have to give the
quote-unquote all-new version of coke zero a very lackluster 5 out of 10 it barely rates guys i
got to be honest with you this really tastes like an off-brand version of coke almost like a shasta
believe it or not nothing against shasta naturally but you know when you're having a regular coke a
real coke compared to something that's not like an off-brand this does not taste anything like
coke zero to me much less regular coke compared to say that version i mean i really like this one
like i said i wish the contents of this recipe this formula was in the brand new can because i
think the can is cool i love the update i love the toughness of it i love the coke logo i love
the black fonting and everything there it's cool but the flavor is nowhere near like the original
formula why they decided to switch this i don't know maybe it's a reason to see how this one does
maybe to go back to the other one so we can do a part three variation review but even still guys
no bueno whatsoever 5 is a generous score right now because like i said it doesn't taste
like coke that i'm used to anyway but the flavor is okay it's very mild but again a flat version
of coke is what it is very little carbonation compared to that these are both ice cold and
like i said just a no bueno situation all right so with all that said i'm just gonna simply ask
you guys have you tried this new version of coke zero yet drop some comments down below let me know
what your experience has been compared to say the other version of coke zero which has been around
for the last few years and prior to that a whole bunch of years with the original formula of coke
zero which i thought was pretty fine as well i was pretty addicted to it back then but guys as far as
i'm concerned this is a step backwards at least for the brand personal opinion but like i said
they really should stick with that current version of coke zero in the black can just put that into
the red can and call it a day i really hope they do that i really do all right and with that this
is Ian K closing out another high quality foodie feature for you here on peep this out reviews

you've heard me say throughout this review but it's what's on the inside that counts and for me
