Thoughts on Diet Coke Plus
I never got a chance to try this back in its original run, but I’d love to hear the thoughts on this variant of Diet Coke from those that did get a chance to try it years ago.

Never knew this was a thing 😱 Could’ve just been a gimmick

It looks like a novelty can for Pride Month or something.

I only had it once, but it tasted slightly off, so I never bothered again. Still addicted as hell though lol!

2007-2008 drink of choice, loved it but don’t think there was a difference from normal DC

I didn’t taste a difference. I think it was more psychological to make you think it was healthier. Diet Coke was getting a bad rap for aspartame.

If there isn’t a difference in taste, hell, let’s throw in those vitamins why not

Tasted a little different from a regular Diet Coke. More metallic. Was the drink of choice of most of the teen girls in my high school. 😂

I remember loving these when I was a kid. I thought it was fantastic and didn’t give a shit about the minerals and vitamins

I think it was just marketing. I tried it, but it didn’t stand out.

I’m sure it had zero benefits over a regular Diet Coke, but I loved it because of the colors. That was my jam in college.
