Coca-Cola stated on July 13 that the flavor of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, often known as Coke Zero, will be changed, eliciting a flurry of comments from fans.
The new drink will be packaged in a simplified style based on the classic Coca-Cola logo. The Zero Sugar line will be identified by red flags with Spencerian black writing, and the phrase "Now More Delicious" will highlight the new recipe on the package.
Let's have a look at Coca-Cola's official statement-

While many people rushed to Twitter after the announcement to express their excitement to sample the "new and better" soft drink, others were hesitant. Have a look at these mixed expressions of the people here-
Can’t wait to try it!!! Hope it tastes like Tab! I was forced to switch to Diet Pepsi-it sucks but not as bad as Diet Coke or Coke Zero did in comparison to my beloved Tab! 45 years with Tab … I miss Tab!!

You’re repeating the same mistake from 1985 again. #NewCoke pic.twitter.com/6vM9yd4ln9

This isn't the first time the soft drink recipe has been altered by the firm. In fact, Coca-Cola sparked uproar in 1985 when it introduced a sweeter version of the original drink.
The same formula reappeared a few months later, rebranded "Coca-Cola Classic." "New Coke" has been around for a long time, albeit it was renamed "Coke II" in 1992 and eventually phased out in 2002.
