Can someone explain to me the difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero? Apart from that one has a white label and one has a black label.

I went to the most amusing toilet yesterday morning. It's on the Waterford Foreshore. You press the elevator-like button to open the door and it says "Welcome to Exceloo!" "We hope you enjoy your evacuating experience!"... or something. Yeah, it tells you to press the button inside to close and lock the door, and that you have 10 minutes before it opens again. Not good if you're constipated. It then plays muzak. I identified one mangled song as "What The World Needs Now Is Love", the old Bacharach classic. After I stopped laughing at the talking toilet and tried to actually pee I found it a little unnerving, with the music and all. And the sign above a light that informed me that if the light starts to flash I'm to vacate the loo immediately because the cleaning cycle is about to begin. Eeep. But eventually (before my 10 minutes was up), I managed to do my buisness, I had to press a button to dispense a measured amount of single ply toilet paper. I then read the sign above the bowl saying that it will flush when I wash my hands or exit. Above the basin were three signs, "Soap", "Water" and "Hand Drier". You had to place your hands in the path of an electric eye to dispense each product. I found it a bit of a contortion to wash my hands under the water while keeping my hands under the eye as well, the dryer was just as frustrating and I didn't bother with it for long. I did notice the toilet had flushed however. As I left it cheerily thanked me for using Exceloo. Lucky I was alone, I couldn't stop giggling.

I think I will wend my way to karaoke tonight, seeing as Matt will be at poker, and I don't wanna be completely bored off my nut.

Coke's answer to Pepsi Max

[ex-shorebuck240.livejournal.com]

Coke Zero exists for the same reason that Pepsi Max does - so to the extreme males don't feel less masculine buying a diet drink.

I was about to be like "uhhh what?"

I've never ever seen Pepsi Max in the US. I saw it in a vending machine in London and was like WTF IS THIS. It's nasty.

I just tried a 'Zero' yesterday. I think the point is that Zero is supposed to taste the same as coke without sugar? Not sure. Different taste to Diet though, which I prefer. Luke reckoned it tasted like Pepsi.

I thought I would go to www.cocacola.com.au to see if they would tell me, and though I found out that The Northern Territory has the highest per capita consumption rate of 'Coca-Cola' in the world - 529.7 for total 'Coca-Cola' Company products, they had no mention of coke zero at all

We have Exeloos in NZ, but they don't have talking messages — just one endlessly looped piano tune. (Seriously, the same one in every Exeloo.)

Diet Coke = eww

Coke Zero = teh seks

They taste completely different. It's the same as Diet Sprite vs Sprite Zero.

According to a friend who works for Coke (and told me about Zero before the release), Coke zero was made so that those who didn't like Diet Coke (which tastes absolutely nothing like coke) but wished to have no sugar/calories, could have something that supposedly resembled Coke more than Diet Coke. (She also told me it was a marketing tool - because it worked so well with Sprite - which is owned by Coke).

That toilet would have put me in wierded out mode , I would have been too freaked out to laugh, the toilet in Northbridge gives me the creeps .



Coke zero to me has a sharpier taste than coke or diet coke and has a different ,weirder effect than too much diet coke has on Ken .

Any pepsi is evil to Ken and I , although we have cringingly drunk it on occasion.

To those that study at Murdoch uni Coke zero is there in vending machines .

Dean got to test out Coke Zero before it hit our shores for a marketing ploy. I got one of those rubber bracelets which say " zero movement" which is tres cool. Coke zero tasts more like regular coke than diet coke, but it isn't as sweet either. kind of how pepsi max tastes sweeter than diet pepsi. The coca cola people said that they want to slowly phaze out diet coke. That is why coke with lime etc are all going. I prefer coke zero. its extreme. you should try it =)
