I'm a diet Pepsi fan. There is a bite to it plus I like the amount of carbonation. But I can tell the carbonation difference between 16oz and 20oz bottle because they come from two different bottling locations in my area. Pepsi Zero has a slightly smoother/sweeter after taste that I'm not used to but it's still good. Especially right now that diet Pepsi is scarce in my area due to Covid.
yeah that's what I'm not getting out of the Zero Sugar version, where is the bite? But a Diet Pepsi has that bite I like. Same reason why I like Barq's Root Beer the best, it's got that BITE, that's even their slogan "Barq's has bite!" haha! 😆
Pepsi Zero is what I like now for a soda drink. This is my favorite soda drink. It's really good, I like the flavor ! My doctor wanted me to cut out the sugar, I played around with different sugarless sodas and I found this one to be my favorite. So now this is the one I drink !
I said a few times that Pepsi is my favorite pop. I think Diet Pepsi is just a tab bit to fizzy, but the Pepsi zero sugar is just a bit to unsweet. But I am being super critical, I would drink either of them over almost all diet sodas and Pepsi is my favorite beverage.
Pepsi Zero doesn’t give me a low sugar feeling like Diet Pepsi does. I’m 67 and been drinking Diet Pepsi since I was 25. The thing is I would get so hungry afterwards. If I didn’t eat something immediately I couldn’t shake the low sugar feeling. This of course added to my calorie count. I couldn’t find Diet Pepsi because of COVID but my son brought me home a 6 pack of the Pepsi Zero and I immediately felt a difference in how my body felt afterwards. So I started to test my theory and had one on a near empty stomach and Walla no low sugar feeling. It tasted good too, couldn’t really tell a difference except for one thing. Diet Pepsi is colder then Pepsi Zero. I always keep my diet soda in the coldest part of my fridge and there’s definitely a difference between the temperature of the two. Even though I have accepted the difference of temperature I have decided to stay with Pepsi Zero so I don’t get that horrible feeling of low blood sugar, now I don’t fall asleep after drinking one with breakfast which is my coffee of choice. So has anyone else noticed either of these two differences?
Pepsi Zero is better. But not by much. I am not a pepsi guy but I tried out a diet pepsi and then a pepsi zero the next day and i'll say both are fine. But if I had to choose one it would be pepsi zero by a hair.
A major difference that you failed to note in the ingredients is that Pepsi Zero has almost double the caffeine content to Diet Pepsi!! This is a significant difference. This is not true of Diet Coke vs. Coke Zero.
No but Diet Coke has 46 mg caffeine to Coke Zeros 34mg Id say that’s a material difference as it gives Diet Coke a slight edge in flavor at least to me cause as we know caffeine is bitter.
But which one tastes the most like Regular Pepsi lol. I feel like the Diet one actually comes closer cuz it's the older one. I dunno what they're trying to do with Pepsi Zero Sugar but it tastes a little too tame for me. I could have sworn regular Pepsi had more bite to it like the Diet one. Any way, I'm more of a Cherry Coke guy if I had to choose a Cola drink. Not as much into just regular Cola but it's fine I guess. The only one I really used to like a lot was Crystal Pepsi, and that tasted way better than regular to me. They brought it back a few years ago for a limited time and I hope they do so again. My favorite soda would have to be a good Root Beer like Barq's and IBC.
I like Pepsi Zero but I preferred the old Pepsi Max which was also 0 calorie I think they silently replaced Pepsi Max with Pepsi Zero! either way Pepsi all the way!
My favorite is Cherry Diet Pepsi!! But sometimes hard to find. I will always default to a regular Diet Pepsi. Don’t want twice the caffeine. Wasn’t even aware of that.
Unfortunately! Like double the amount. Super sensitive to caffeine, but like to drink a zero sugar soda from time to time and it's almost impossible to find caffeine free coke zero now, heard pepsi zero sugar was "amazing". Drank my first can, bam, panic attack. Ugh. It tastes good, but caffeine doesn't effect the way a drink tastes, don't understand the unnecessary amount of caffeine.
