It's no news that all diet version of caffeinated beverages do not nearly taste like their sugar packed siblings.

Let's take Coke for instance, Diet Coke almost has a decent taste but the refreshing impact of the first sip is nowhere near the original.

Thanks to subtle chemistry and brilliant engineers at Coke, this could be pretty soon a thing of the past as we will soon be able to welcome Coca-Cola Zero.

I tasted it a few days ago and, even if the taste it leaves in your mouth is not exactly like regular Coke, we are almost there. The rush of the first sip is extremely close to the real deal... while keeping the counter at 0.5kcal/100ml.

Note to Coke researchers: what about pouring some cherry in it?
