Coca-Cola Zero or Coke Zero is a product of the Coca-Cola Company. It is a sugar-free variation of Coca-Cola. In the United States, where the drink was first introduced, Coke Zero is marketed as having zero calories[1] (hence the Zero in the product's name), but in other countries it is marketed as having zero sugar.[2] Coca-Cola Zero in fact has a small caloric value. Depending on the country in which it is made, it has about 0.2 to 0.5 calories per 100 mL (3.4 US fl. oz.).[3]
Diet Coke was sweetened with aspartame as soon as the sweetener became available in the U.S., 1983; however, to save money, this was originally in a blend with saccharin. After Diet Rite cola advertised its 100 percent use of aspartame, and the manufacturer of NutraSweet (then, G.D. Searle & Company) warned that the NutraSweet trademark would not be made available to a blend of sweeteners, Coca-Cola switched the formula to 100 percent NutraSweet, later switching back and doing without the NutraSweet trademark. Diet Coke from fountain dispensers still contains some saccharin (to extend shelf life).[1]
