Coke: Diet Cherry Coke

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | May 9, 2005

I hope you're keeping up with all these new flavors being put out by different soda brands. I think we have reviews of Coke products covered with Diet Coke, Caffeine free, Diet Coke with Lime, and now Diet Cherry Coke. I think hope Coke is trying to phase out the slightly bitter taste of Diet Coke with these new flavors. Diet Cherry Coke is a winner. It has a slightly Cherry flavor, which makes this no calorie, no sugar drink taste sweet. I think the artificial sweeteners acesulfame K and aspartame help too. If you are used to drinking diet colas, then you may find it just a bit on the sweet side. Unlike Diet Coke with Lime, there is no bottled up aroma which assaults yor nostrils upon first opening the bottle. The bottle says this Diet Coke has natural flavors such as cherry and other natural flavors. What are the other flavors? Why won't they tell us?

Just remember, this is still a Cola. They did not use real cherries in this, so it does not count as a serving of fruit! I myself am trying to drink more water daily, but if you are anything like me and must have cola daily, and act like it is a food group and is included in the Food Guide Pyramid, then Diet Cherry Cola is just the thing. My hands down favorite is still Diet Sprite Zero though.
