Are Zero Sugar Sodas Better Than Diet? (Taste Test)

[@iVolkswagen]

Yeah the “A” “B” with the fixed “diet / zero” thing got super confusing

[@jaidenoliver7165]

It should have gone away after they made their own guess. Or just had like on the left Diet in the colour, then right Zero in the colour to be simpler.

[@jaidenoliver7165]

I just realised the marker for Diet/Zero is what they're guessing each is, then the flag is their favourite. I thought the flag is saying which is Zero

[@hannahkalter5405]

Same

[@timmanus]

Yeah it was super confusing

[@Slone1329]

No it’s not. They are placing the glasses on the table above the diet/ zero . -A or B glasses has zero or diet in therm . They place the glasses on the corresponding circle above the label , they flag is to show what they preferred

[@its.teetime]

Ive never been more confused by the labeling than i was with this episode

It isn't that hard, you just have their vote for which one is diet/zero and which one is their favorite..

Yeah, very confusing, specially by Dr. Pepper.

The cherry Pepsi one messed me up too. At least on Link’s side!

[@andrewholland21]

I really don’t understand what was so hard about this? They literally tell you the Zero is in glass A Or B then you put the glass that you think is the zero in the spot labeled zero. Then vote for whichever one was your favorite.

Love the betting aspect but the cup placement stuff was really confusing lolol

[@RonJDuncan]

I've found that I like zero better than diet pretty much every time. The way it's formulated just works better. In the older diet formulas, the bitterness that aspartame has is significantly more pronounced and the soda "flavor" itself kinda tastes watered down. The Zero formula is so much closer to the regular version that Diet Dr Pepper has to get a new slogan because it now lags behind.

[@katiebethcripps7553]

Yes! DP zero is waaaaay better than diet.

[@ldude]

Diet is the past, zero is the future, it should be and is better, it's progress, evolution.

[@cuppycakey5013]

Dr. Pepper does have a zero sugar one, and I always prefer it over the diet.

[@mattwiederholt7258]

When on a diet y favorite drink of all time is cherry zero sugar Dr Pepper. When it is cold. It is seriously hard to taste the difference

[@ChazzleDazzleVideos]

My partner is diabetic and it was in a large part due to his soda drinking but we found that the zero sugar ones are way better than diet and the Mt dew major melon zero is a heck of a good soda for not having sugar.

I wonder what would have happened if they included the original versions as controls, or simply included them in the taste test.

[@englishatheart]

Maybe he meant drinking a full can? 🤷‍♀️

[@CaleauFamily]

Am I the only one not confused by the format of this game? Lol also just tried Dr. Pepper zero and it is so good. I think it tastes even more like the original than Diet Dr. Pepper!

[@kayzmavc4596]

Nah, I wasn't confused either. They've done this format before, so I'm not entirely sure what's messing with people in this particular episode... I think some were confused about the preference indicators (the flags) and the guesses (position of glasses). Maybe people are just so used to the simpler format of the flags indicating guesses, but again, they've done this more complex format previously. So, who knows. :P

[@krystalhecke231]

The cherry Dr pepper zero is amazing. And the cream soda Dr pepper zero sugar.

[@prestonfisher2632]

Diet Dr. Pepper tastes like a completely separate drink imo. Zero tastes much more like the og. The main difference between diet and zero is that zero has more of the flavoring iirc. At least that's that's Google told me and my taste buds agreed.

Rhett was right from the very beginning. Diet is its own formulation based on the original (but not the same), and zero sodas, which have become more popular in recent years, are intended to taste as much like the original as possible.

Since people are a little confused. Not going to reference the betting. When they first start each new soda the screen pops up with what is in glass A and glass B.

Guys*, just a heads up, Zero Sugar sodas also contain Aspartame. It’s still the dominant sweetener in the drink. They just use Acesulfame Potassium in addition to get the syrupy soda taste. So if you are allergic or don’t like drinking/eating things with Aspartame, it’s a good idea to always read the labels. 🧐
