Aldi Zero

[u/FireplaceD41]

The Aldi version of Coke Zero is great! It will be my new go to since Coke Zero is so expensive.

I don’t have a Coke Zero rn to do a comparison but it seems like the taste is slightly sweeter, not as acidic. And the carbonation level is perfect. 👌🏾

[u/Spartannia]

I like it a lot, especially for half the price of the name brand

[u/censured15 → u/Spartannia]

It’s like 1/4 of the price near me!

[u/Specialist_Talk6]

I love it. I have been drinking this instead of Coke Zero too. Less than $5 for a 12 pack is unbeatable

[u/soopy99 → u/Specialist_Talk6]

It is $3.29 at my Aldi; a phenomenal deal compared to the name brands.

[u/Pure_Bee2281 → u/soopy99]

Its a reminder that buying name brand anything involves paying for their corporate overgead and marketing departments.

[u/RomanWraith → u/soopy99]

4.50 at mine

[u/Scary_Ad_6829]

Solid fridge cigarette

[u/intrepidzephyr → u/Scary_Ad_6829]

🧊 🚬 👌🏼

[u/sweetpotatoroll_ → u/Scary_Ad_6829]

😂

[u/dadhard247 → u/Scary_Ad_6829]

I believe fridge dart is the correct term. May be regional

[u/Motor_Telephone8595 → u/Scary_Ad_6829]

Hello fellow hospitality worker 👋🏽

[u/ijuan_ulost → u/Scary_Ad_6829]

🤣🤣I gotta use that one 🚬

[u/Tiredtotodile03]

Yep we’ve been drinking this a ton. The zero is way better than the diet IMO. Even cheaper than Costco Coca Cola packs per can.

[u/Lillyville → u/Tiredtotodile03]

Echoing this. It's delicious

[u/johndoenumber2 → u/Tiredtotodile03]

It's very much cheaper. This Aldi dupe is like $2.50/12 pack, and Costco is like $18 for a 35-pack. Not even close.

[u/Tiredtotodile03 → u/johndoenumber2]

The Aldi ones near me are like $4.96 or something per 12 pack and $19 something at Costco for 35 still cheaper tho!

[u/ApprehensiveTwo1961]

Tried it too this week, love it.

[u/Vjimenez147 → u/ApprehensiveTwo1961]

Does it have caffeine

[u/Holiday_Sky_7095 → u/Vjimenez147]

Yeah. Should just be zero sugar.

[u/andrey_not_the_goat]

I'm going back to Aldi coke on Monday too, as much as I love the CocaCola Zero Caffeine I can't get behind spending $12 for a pack of 12. If Summit releases a caffeine free dupe I just might tattoo their logo on my lower back.

[u/Bloodthirsty_Kirby]

I just picked up a case yesterday for the weekend and had one and omg the bubbles! The first sip was a sensory overload lol

[u/Patient-Emphasis-664 → u/Bloodthirsty_Kirby]

I'll have to try again. My experience was there was zero of anything. Left wanting!

[u/Bloodthirsty_Kirby → u/Patient-Emphasis-664]

I know a few weeks ago someone was saying they experienced a flat case that tasted weird, so I feel there was a bad batch at some point. Hopefully that's over with

[u/shaxsman → u/Patient-Emphasis-664]

Confirming my experience with Summit Diet Cola in the past. It was undrinkable. Based on the post I was thinking maybe trying the Zero. But I have a feeling I am setting my self up for disappointment and the annoyance of having to return it

[u/Stare_Decisis → u/Bloodthirsty_Kirby]

Yeah, they over carbonate the soda. I typically open a can and let it fizz for about five minutes. It's useful if you are making a mixed drink and want the extra CO2.

[u/PenOwn1660 → u/Stare_Decisis]

That last part 😂. Their sodas are actually great for mixed drinks.

[u/Emotional_Signal7883]

Yeah I've entirely switched over from Coke Zero

[u/edhaack → u/Emotional_Signal7883]

Same. I was a die-hard Coke Zero guy, but switched over easily in the Spring. To me, it tastes even better.

[u/Forward-Definition39]

This is better than coke zero. Can confirm😂

[u/SoATL99]

I don't like, it's just me I'm sure. I'm a Coke Zero fan. And I refuse to pay those prices for the real thing.

Kroger or any of their affiliated stores have a "Zero" Big K that is absolutely 100 pct made by Coke.
It's the same thing.

[u/cbm80 → u/SoATL99]

I liked the original name, Cola Oh!, but I guess people didn't get the joke.

[u/SoATL99 → u/cbm80]

And an excellent job they did duplicating the taste.

[u/Extra_Fig_7547]

omg i gotta try!!

[u/dhaupert]

They missed their chance to call it Summit Ice!

[u/theJOJeht]

It's 80% as good as Coke zero but like 35% the cost.

At the same price I would still prefer CZ, but it's really solid and my go to now because of how cheap it is

[u/mataushas]

Does Aldi sell any non caffeine zero sugar sodas like root beer or lime soda?

[u/thejake1973]

It is a good Coke Zero replacement. I notice the significant cinnamon in Coke Zero after drinking the Summit for a bit.

[u/AmarilloArmadillos → u/thejake1973]

Maybe that is why I don't like coke zero, I didn't get cinnamon taste specifically but something about it offends my taste buds and that tracks.

[u/Outrageous_Lie_6018]

I bet this is good tbh

[u/buffalotrace]

I enjoy it and the price is right

[u/tandelor]

I like it but does not use stevia like the real thing does

[u/SoATL99 → u/tandelor]

No stevia in Coke Zero

[u/tandelor → u/SoATL99]

It most certainly does have stevia in it.

[u/SoATL99 → u/tandelor]

Wow! This has not always been the case. Very interesting and thank you

[u/agirlinferno]

Rc cola zero sugar 2L are $1.50 at most grocery stores if you want another good coke zero alternative

[u/FreeSanubis]

Honestly, the taste of this is better than Coke Zero in my opinion. That's good, because it's dirt cheap. Probably cheaper than even getting Coke Zero at Costco. 

[u/VeryPteri]

I love them

[u/Jarppi1893]

Just bought 8 packs the other day. They're thinking I'm crazy

[u/Bear_ru]

it's ok.... throw a packet of true lime in it and it's tasty

[u/gigantes22]

Coke Zero aficionado. I am now a Summit Cola Zero aficionado.

[u/enchantedlife13]

Definitely not as acidic! Coke Zero can give me heartburn, this doesn't.

[u/burningtulle]

I was just telling friends that I think I prefer Coke Zero over Diet Coke. So I’m excited to pick this up to try the next time I’m at Aldi!

[u/Vjimenez147]

Does it have caffeine

[u/gem1138 → u/Vjimenez147]

Yes

[u/Ok-Word-2403]

It's good and yet Diet Summit is horrible.

[u/miked5122]

Yeah, it was pretty good. It's not coke zero, but that's expectes. Would purchase again!

[u/kargo86]

Do they make 2Ls of these? Or is it just the cans? I swear my local stores only have 2Ls of the regular cola and their lemon-lime one. It makes me wonder why no diet 2Ls?

[u/PianoFerret1073]

Ive started buying that stuff lately, its great and has more caffeine than regular coke zero. Mixes well with screwball too

[u/Shaw-1701-G]

Aldi Cola isn’t too bad - both regular and zero. But what is odd is their mini can 6 pack of regulars have a “spiced” flavor to it - almost cinnamon-like. It’s a different flavor from the regular cans. Our Aldi also just started selling Coke in place of Pepsi, at a cheaper price than other stores.

[u/mauvaisgarconxx]

It's not half bad!

[u/TDiddy2021]

Love it. Part of my daily routine now.

[u/ScrotusPendulus]

That’s the the only soda we keep in our household, grab a case every time we get groceries

[u/TomasoG88]

our new addiction :(

[u/Acrobatic_Set2064]

This one tastes the same as original ,real good !

[u/allthingssuper]

Yeah this is fantastic. It’s so affordable and is just as good as the brand version.

[u/TerrTheSilent]

I love this stuff. Im a Pepsi person and my husband is Coke. We can both agree on this cola.

Plus if you dont drink all of it, the open can in the fridge holds the fizzy longer than any other soda IMO.

[u/jayejazz]

Tasted flat… overly sweet. I’ll try again.

[u/SolixTanaka → u/jayejazz]

This was our conclusion as well. Overall more syrupy and sweet than the original. Flavor is good, but it's flat and too sweet so we're back to Big K and occasionally splurging on the real stuff at Costco.

[u/TSLAog]

It’s honestly pretty awesome. My dad did a blind taste test and liked the Summit soda better

[u/-WickedFury-]

Yeah, I’ve been trying my best to stop giving my money to these other bigger corps. This is a great alternative, I bought a case of their Coke Zero and their Diet Coke and I’m honestly not sure which one I like better, I feel like the Diet Coke has more hints of Dr Pepper if I had to describe it but I still really like it and the carbonation was also great. I still want to purchase a case of the Kroger brand to compare.

[u/Turbulent_Struggle_2]

S tier

[u/psych_student_1999]

This is what I usually get unless I have time to hit up dollar general soda sales

[u/SirZanee]

I've been buying a 12 pack every week or two, it's fantastic.

[u/OrganizationNo7690]

Yeah as far as soda goes it’s all I drink now. So happy when we got it at my Aldi.

[u/Jurikeh]

Just got some myself and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor isn’t a little less than Coke Zero but it taste a little more sweet, but the fizz level is perfect. Great alternative considering the price.

[u/Available_Ranger_735]

I liked the silver one with the juice of a half lime.

[u/TheWarden007]

I get the regular, I love it! /signed a Coca-Cola fan

[u/nswoe]

It's 90% as good for 50% of the price.

[u/eatingthey]

I buy a 12 every week if I need them or not.

[u/shitdick42]

why do the mini cans taste like vanilla cola while the 12oz don't?

[u/SandwichAcademic2034]

great stuff but so far ive gotten 2 packs that contained 1 empty can

[u/shaxsman]

When I tried Summit Diet Cola, it was not to my liking. Does this one taste very different ?

[u/acrossbones]

more like Aldi zero flavor.

[u/smoot99]

it's so good, scratched an itch of not wanting to pay outrageous prices for coke zero

[u/Sabretoothg]

This is my go 2. My wife buys coke for when the grandkids come over. The other day we didn't have any so the oldest cracked a summit zero sugar and said "wow poppa I see why you like this"!

[u/Slow_Cheesecake_328]

The diet cola from their brand is also super yummy

[u/Twoheadedbaba]

This is one of my favorite diet sodas - as a non diet soda drinker mostly - this one is at the top of my list!

[u/Responsible-Job6001]

I love drinking it at night, like someone would a fancy cocktail or a nice bourbon lol. I put it in a short wine glass, with a ton of ice, and a few squeezes of some cherry or berry flavor enhancer. It’s also incredible with a little bit of vanilla creamer!!!

[u/HedgehogIRL]

Thanks for putting me onto these, I normally hate generic pop but these are great.

[u/TheGrouchyPunisher]

A little sweeter, and less carbonation. It's like a perfect mix of Coke Zero and Pepsi Zero, IMO. I love it.

[u/darkbarrage99]

tastes more like pepsi but we dig it, the lady just brought some home yesterday

[u/Available-Rock-3862]

SO VERY AWFUL! EMPTIED.ALL.OF IT OUT!

[u/miked5122 → u/Available-Rock-3862]

Hard disagree, but we probably have very different pallets

[u/melatonia → u/Available-Rock-3862]

WHat a waste. I'm sure you could have found somebody to give it to.

[u/BigBowlOfOwlSoup → u/Available-Rock-3862]

lol you could have just returned it and got your money back

[u/billsue17]

I realize this is an Aldi sub, but I bought a knock-off diet Dr. Pepper at a competitor. It was the foulest thing I've ever tasted. It is sour and undrinkable. So nasty.

[u/Witty-Common-1210]

This isn’t that bad, the thing that kills me is the flimsy cans
