Diet Sprite Zero
By: | Apr 19, 2005
Sprite has quietly started changing up their brand image lately with Sprite Remix, which it is marrying to hiphop and the NBA - it seems CocaCola is not sleeping on one of it's 'sleeper brands.' I love the original Sprite, then there was Sprite Remix, then Sprite Remix Berry Clear, and now what was Diet Sprite is now Diet Sprite Zero, which is rumored to be in for yet another name change to just Sprite Zero.
Call it whatever you want, but if you like Sprite, and even if you don't - but really who doesn't - then you'll like Diet Sprite Zero, because it tastes JUST LIKE THE REAL THING - unlike some other diet beverages (aka Coke and Diet Coke). What I like about Sprite, and Diet Sprite Zero is that it is not too harshly carbonated and not too acidic.
Since Sprite is already caffeine free, they just took out the sugar (high fructose corn syrup) and replaced it with an aspartame/ acesulfame K mix to make it caffeine free, no calories and no sugar.
One can cost $0.99 and is my favorite diet soda. This has to go on the 5 stars list.

The thing about changing names... they're planning on changing over to Splenda for most of their diet sodas. Diet Coke will soon have Splenda in it, but they plan on offering Coke Zero with aspartame.
I expected the worst with Sprite Zero, but was pleasantly surprised with it. I'm eagerly waiting for Coke Zero, which comes out in June.
When is diet sprite going to Splenda ??
splenda, apartame, and 20 other different names are all the same thing ASPARTAME highly toxic... google it
I like sprite. I dont drink many soft drinks but when i do i choose the low cal option.
I'm totally loving this sprite zero. I'm so frickin fat, I'm like 300 pounds, so I'm totally gonna be going on a Sprite Zero diet, I drink it all day, then eat dinner.
i think sprite zero tastes too sweet...those artificial sweetners just never taste the same...honestly I love 7up with its smoother lighter taste, but if you are going to go diet why can't they cut down on that sweet bite it has? Just do less aspartame or whatever and it would be much better.
Hey I don't care for this new Sprite Zero! It doesn't taste the same! The taste is way off! Bring back the real diet Sprite!
Aspartame is highly toxic. Please do not drink this.
High fructose corn syrup is also highly toxic as it contains mercury.
(BTW, To the owner of this site, your 'spam check' is flawed. It askes for food everytime which means someone can make a program that will put food there. They can also make a program enter whatever is in quotes. You need to have a picture of letters for people to type that changes for every new post you make. Otherwise, it's useless.)
HFCS isn't highly toxic the article saying it contained mercury was flawed. Not only that, but the fact that something contains mercury doesn't make it lethal.Are bodies can handle the amounts of mercury naturally found in foods which is all that they found.In fact are bodies won't even absorb all of the mercury that is found in the HFCS or anything else.All that article really showed us is that we're getting better at detecting minute traces of elements.
I think you're talking about a captcha system in reference to the letters ,and you should know that there are programs to deal with captcha .There is no perfect defense against spammers.
@Elaine - like Cereal said, the article is seriously flawed - 1 time sample, assuming the mercury came from HFCS, levels were parts per trillion etc.
Thanks for the advice on the spam check system I have in place. You wouldn't believe the amount of spam I had to deal with before I put it in. This has worked wonders, and until there is a problem again, I'll probably leave it alone.
I purchased a 12 pack of Sprite Zero for a social we were having at my club. I was instructed to buy regular and diet soda as well. I tried one and couldn't believe how awful it tasted! There was a disinfectant sort of taste to it. I called Coke to comment on it but they were not interested in what I had to say. Coke has lost a faithful customer for their unprofessional manner in which they spoke to me.
