In the 80s, they called this Caffeine Free diet Coke and it was even free of kryptonite.

All that really changed is that "zero" is now more catchy than "diet".

Diet coke retains the "new coke" recipe but with aspartame whereas coke zero is the "classic coke" recipe just with ace k and aspartame

I think, idk what I'm talking about I just like coca cola (the drink, not the company)

I think they only put aspartame in Diet Coke but I could be wrong

Isn't there a difference been "diet" and "zero"? Like doesn't one use aspartame and the other use a different "fake" sweetener?

So up until recently I thought the same. I thought “Zero Sugar” used sucralose (Splenda) and diet used aspartame. Compared them at the store and Discovered that both Mountain Dew zero sugar and diet mountain dew are sweetened with the same fake sweetener, aspartame. The two drinks taste different to me. Maybe other brands do use different sweeteners but not Pepsi it seems.

Typically, zero sugar versions include aspartame AND acesulfame K to improve the artificial sweetener flavor, where diet versions only contain aspartame.

This somehow implies Kryptonite is made of/has caffeine on its composition.
