Red and black Coke Zero is not as good as the previous formula. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 23, 14:05 5
- You are correct. It’s more syrup-y -- nm - spamlet Oct 23, 14:12 4
  - You guys are so extremely wrong. It is the best alternative on the market now. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 16:12
  - Yes. My theory is each successive version is getting closer to regular Coke. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 23, 14:15 2
