Coke Zero Sugar replacing Coke Zero???
The Coca Cola bottling company recently introduced a new product called Coke Zero Sugar. Some have fallen in love with Coke Zero and are concerned that the taste will change with the new name. Looks like they may be the exact same ingredients in both and most likely just a play on marketing? Hometown Vending has offered Coke Zero, in both cans and bottles, for several years now and will certainly carry the new Coke Zero Sugar. However, we are wondering what the differences really are? Both are similar regarding ingredients and hope that our customers will transition to the new drink. We have some really “hard-core” Zero drinkers at some of vending machines and Hometown Fresh Micro Markets.
The Huffington Post has a great article on the differences or similarities of all three diet Coke offerings. In fact, Huffington Post states the following….. “This upset got us thinking: what is the actual difference between Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Coke Zero Sugar? If you look at the ingredients between the three, they aren’t actually all that different. And, in fact, Coke Zero and Coke Zero Sugar have exactly the same ingredient list.”
Here’s the list of ingredients in Diet Coke:
Carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate, natural flavors, citric acid, caffeine.
Here’s the list of ingredients in Coke Zero:
Carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, aspartame, potassium benzoate, natural flavors, potassium citrate, acesulfame potassium, caffeine.

The Coca Cola company occasionally makes changes to ingredients, tastes, etc. Regular Coke Zero is a “niche” product and therefore the faithful are concerned that Coke will change the taste. The verdict is still out and I am certain our customers at Hometown Vending are concerned about the coming changes.

Hometown Vending now offering Coke Zero!
Hometown Vending Machine Services has always offered only Coke and Diet Coke cans and bottles. However, we have more and more requests for Coke Zero. Well… we are excited to now offer Coke Zero (cans and bottles) in any of our locations. We have been offering Coke Zero at a few locations for nearly two years and are now convinced that many will like to have Coke Zero as an added option. Over the next few weeks, Coke Zero will be added to your glass front style beverage vending machines. Additionally, we are in the process of adding a selection in your bubble front style beverage machines. However, keep in mind that we will have to remove one item and most likely will be the slowest seller.
Coke Zero has zero calories and zero sugars. You will love Coke Zero now available in both 12oz. cans and 20oz. bottles. All of our locations from Conroe to Houston to the Woodlands will have the option of adding Coke Zero! Hometown Vending Machine Services is committed to offering healthier choices in our vending machines. Please call or email us if you would like to have Coke Zero added to your vending machines.
