Diet Sprite is Just like Sprite. Its taste is also the same with same flavor and the same with that clear, bubbly appearance.
Sprite Zero is a clear, lemon-lime-flavored low-calorie beverage produced by the Coca-Cola Company. This sugar-free drink originally began production as "Sugar Free Sprite" in 1974, and renamed to "Diet Sprite" in 1983. In other countries, it is known as "Sprite Light".
In the Year late 2008, Coke announced a reduced calories version of Sprite called Sprite Green, first introduced in New York and Chicago. Sprite Green "has 50 calories per 8.5-ounce serving and 5% lemon juice. Sprite Green was created to appeal to active young adults and will be launched in two U.S. cities this month in distinctive 8.5-ounce aluminium bottles. Initial availability will be limited to teen and young adult-oriented locations and events with a broader roll-out planned for early 2009. Sprite Green complements the Sprite brand's leading lemon-lime and zero-calorie lemon-lime sparkling beverages."
The big hype about Sprite Green is the use of Trivia, which is the trade name for a version of a stevia-based sweetener created by The Coca-Cola Company and Cargill. Using what they consider a "natural sweetener" (there's some debate on that), you can lower the calorie count on a typical bottle of Sprite.
Upon opening the bottle, well, it smells like Sprite. It even looks like Sprite, with that clear, bubbly appearance. Upon first sip, it's actually pretty good. Tastes pretty much like the Sprite. This is a diet beverage, so a non-attractive taste is to be expected. But given that this drink has a stevia-powered aftertaste, maybe I wasn't expecting exactly what my mouth was saying… which was pretty much, "what did you just do to me?"
