Coca-Cola Zero, aka Coke Zero, named so because it contains no calories, is a product of the Coca-Cola company, released in the US in June 2005, in Canada shortly afterwards and in Australia in January 2006. It is seen by many as a (late) answer to Pepsi One. It is a sugar-free variation of Coca-Cola Classic, sweetened with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium. This product is different from Diet Coke because of the flavour system it uses (the sweeteners are the same, but the flavour system is completely unique & - like the recipe for Coca-Cola - is a closely guarded secret) and because, unlike Diet Coke, this product is based on the original Coca-Cola formula. It is a caffeinated beverage with 34.5 mg of caffeine, roughly the same as regular Coke (which has 34 mg of caffeine) and, in Australia, is carbonated exactly the same as Coca-Cola leading to an almost identical taste profile. The recently released Australian version is a slightly different formulation from the US version and has unique black packaging as oppose to white [1]. The Coca-Cola Company state that the Australian roll-out of Coca-Cola Zero is their biggest product launch in 22 years in Australia. Some sources claim that initial sales have been so strong in Australia that they are having to airlift ingredients in from Ireland to ensure they continue to meet demand.

Sales
Even though the original, "hip" advertising campaign for Coke Zero was quickly replaced by a new, more "informative" one (because consumers were confusing it with C2 and Diet Coke with Splenda), Coke Zero has gotten off to a successful start. After just a few months in release, its market share hovers around 1%, and grew by 18% from September 2005 to November of the same year. For some perspective, market share (in the U.S.) for some other popular sodas are as follows: Coca-Cola Classic (18%), Pepsi (12%), Diet Coke (9%), and Diet Pepsi (5%). So, in a $20 billion industry, 1% is equal to hundreds of millions of dollars. Some even predict that Coke Zero may break the soda Top Ten by the end of 2006, making it the most successful launch since Diet Coke leapt to #3 in the early 1980s. The current launch in Australia looks like exceeding the US launch by a considerable margin - driven by the unique formula & packaging currently being marketed in Australia.
Perhaps the trickiest job for The Coca-Cola Company, though, is to make Coke Zero a success without cannibalizing sales of Diet Coke (the diet soda leader). To prevent this, Coke Zero is being aimed at young adult males, who don't traditionally drink "diet" sodas, but, at the same time, are increasingly health-conscious. So far, results seem encouraging in the US, with 7 of 10 of those who tried the product (in the target group) trying it again. Australia is expected to reflect these results.

Coca-Cola Light Contrary to popular belief, Coca-Cola Zero is not a new formulation in the US. The same blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium along with the Coca-Cola Classic formula has been available for quite some time in many European countries which were never exposed to New Coke. Commonly called Coca-Cola Light or Coke Light in Europe, the Coca-Cola Zero US formula is identical to that used in foreign countries. In Australia this is not the case - the formula used in Australia is completely unique. Aspartame is the name for a monkey, non-carbohydrate sweetener, aspartyl-phenylalanine-1-methyl ester; i. ...

In addition to never having been introduced to New Coke, part of the basis for the decision to market this different product was determined by health regulations in the various countries. In 1970 both the United States and the United Kingdom placed a ban on cyclamates due to fears of possible carcinogenic effects. The ban on acesulfame potassium was lifted in the mid 1980s in all countries except Canada, which approved its use in 1994. The Best Just Got Better. ...
