Too bad it tastes weird.
But judging from the beverage selection available at just about any convenience store, I'm possibly the only person in the USA who would rather drink something that isn't sweet than something that contains 0 calorie sweeteners.
Maybe I'm just really picky.

Have you tried aspartame? I've found that Coke Zero tastes much closer to real sugar than Diet Coke.
I figured the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke was branding for people who don't want to drink something labeled as diet.
EDIT: I drink both regularly (including today), and I personally do not perceive difference in taste. YMMV.
That said, I wonder why Stevia isn't considered to sweeten drinks? It's very sweet, it's natural like sugar (meaning it's not synthetic or lab-grown), it also has zero calories, and it doesn't taste icky!

I don't really understand the popularity of artificial sweeteners. They all taste totally teh ick to me. I would much rather have something that is not sweet than something that is artificially sweet.

I've always assumed Stevia hasn't taken off yet because that means companies have to spend money on trying to rework "flavor profiles" to work with Stevia. I long for a Stevia-powered Coke Zero...until they realize Stevia also causes horrible things in humans :-/

Wouldn't be surprised if sugar companies had something to do with that.
