From Wikipedia; Diet Coke, called Coca-Cola Light in some countries, is a sugar-free soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company. It was first introduced in the United States on August 9, 1982, as the first new brand since 1886 to use the Coca-Cola trademark.

Whenever I see these tin can models I think how many times i'd slice my fingers open if I was making one.

This one is well made.  The metal will be about the same gauge (possibly heavier) as a modern car body...

I used to have one of those made from Carlsberg cans my parents bought me on holiday. I think it was styled like an F-4 Phantom, from what I remember. It got destroyed in a house move, sadly.

Yep.  The Overseas version of Diet Coke.  And a bit tastier than Diet Coke, having consumed it in Iraq and the Philippines

You'll find that Diet Coke is called "Coca Cola Light" in lots of countries.

But how is it different from Coca Cola Zero?

Has that guy built a Mitsubishi Zero out of Coca Cola Zero cans?

They are both the same drink.
It is just that Coke light is aimed at the female market, while the slightly more "adventurous" Coke Zero is aimed at the male market.  :blink:

Here in Germany, they're not the same. They taste decidedly different. Coke Light tastes great, while Coke Zero tastes poo-poo (with an english accent).

I think you'll find Coke Light and Diet Coke are the same, but Diet Coke does not taste like Coke Zero (to appease SWMBO it's what I drink).  SWMBO on the other hand thinks Zero tastes more like regular Coke (not Classic Coke) which I totally disagree with --

Having been recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, this subject came up during a lively conversation with the Health & Welfare Nurse when I told her I drink mostly Zero (with my rum that is).  The nurse decided she was going to research it and it turns out any nasty's in Zero is just that,  there's zero of them

I love the taste of coke, especially ice cold out of a can or McDonald's fountain. Although I rarely drink either.

I can't stand Diet Coke. Even smells funny.

Coke Zero tastes close enough to the 'real thing' for me, so when I do have one that's what I go for.
