Coke Zero Sugar is replacing Coke Zero.



If you like your Coke Zero exactly the way it is now, it might be time to start stockpiling it.

On Wednesday, Coca-Cola announced plans to stop selling Coke Zero in the US in August, replacing it with a beverage with a different recipe, design, and name: Coke Zero Sugar.

"It is a reinvention of Coke Zero," CEO James Quincey said in a call with investors.

According to Coca-Cola, Coke Zero Sugar is closer to the taste of the standard Coca-Cola. But with zero sugar and zero calories, the drink is designed for customers who are seeking lower-sugar options.

Coke Zero Sugar is already a major hit outside the US, with growth figures reaching the teens. In the US, Coke Zero sales grew 3.5% in 2016, compared with Diet Coke's drop of 1.9% in the same time period.
 
Bring back Coke Blak. One of the few drinkable cokes. Actually, I'd rather have Pepsi Kona back.

What about the people who like Coke Zero and don't want a new product that tastes more like regular Coke? If you drink a lot of diet the taste of regular soda can be kind of nasty. Although the opposite is true too.
