Diet Coke Flavors 2018

Products circa: 2018

In 2018, Coke released a bevy of flavors for their Diet Coke line.  Definitely an odd choice, as Coke Zero (Sugar) had been out for a long time by then, and I'm pretty sure it was the more popular 0-calorie product.  But with that said, some 20 years ago Coke experimented with both Lemon and Lime variations of Diet Coke, and I've heard die-hards talk about both of them ever since; they should really re-release those to see how they perform.

Twisted Mango - A very light mango taste added to the original, whose mild tartness somehow makes the mix taste less sweet than the original.  Refreshing, even.  Nice.

Feisty Cherry - A cherry flavor that is dry and not overly sweet.  Bordering on peppery, like a black cherry.  Interesting, but not my cup of tea.

Ginger Lime - Dry ginger, like a ginger ale, and a dry tart lime.  Refreshing, like the mango above.

Zesty Blood Orange - Light tart orange, and it really goes great with the Diet Coke formula.  Definitely the best of the bunch. 

Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the lot, mainly because they seemed to realize that the sweetness needed to be restrained.  Impressive!  But we'll definitely never see these again.
