Coca-Cola Zero VS Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola

While shopping at Wal Mart with my aunt a couple of weeks ago, I happened to notice a display of two liter bottles of Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola. In years past, I used to really enjoy drinking Diet Rite Cola and since I’m now drinking diet soda only, I decided to purchase a bottle of the Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola.

Another variety of diet soda that I’ve recently been drinking is Coca-Cola Zero and I like the way it tastes. It seems to me that a comparison review of these two brands of diet cola would make an interesting article.

When it comes to flavor, these two diet colas are pretty similar, but not identical. Both colas offer a real cola flavor, but I think the Coca-Cola Zero offers a more pronounced cola taste.

Each of these diet colas is fairly sweet, but I think the sweetness from Splenda in Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola is more appealing.

While I definitely do enjoy drinking both of these ‘zero’ sodas, if I had to choose one as being the more tasty of the two, I would actually choose the Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign Coca-Cola Zero a rating of 8.85 and Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola a rating of 9.75.

Overall Rating
All things considered, each of these diet colas is quite tasty, but they definitely vary in price. While both Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola and Coca-Cola Zero are recommended products, my personal preference leans a little towards the Diet Rite soda.
