Loss of smell could be a 'highly reliable indicator' of Covid-19, research says

I can't be certain if it changed, or I changed.

All I know is that when it came out 15 years ago it was awesome, and at some point probably 5 years ago I realised it tasted like crap and switched to pepsi max.

Nowadays when I do happen to drink some it tastes extremely terrible to me.

Edit: Apparently Coke Zero is no longer sold anywhere except where I live (New Zealand), so I guess nobody else in this forum will be able to check for themselves.

The rest of the world switched to "Coke Zero Sugar" and no longer has Coke Zero. In NZ the new product is called Coke No Sugar and Coke Zero continues to be sold because it was really popular I guess.

I've noticed that Coke Zero bottles that were left out in the sun lose most of their sweetness and taste awful. Maybe there's some photosensitive compound in the sweetener.

Are you talking about Coca-Cola Zero? That is still very much available in Europe.

At least in Australia (which had the same Coke Zero as New Zealand), I believe Coke Zero and Coke Zero Sugar are the same recipe.
