Cherries by the Bushel

It has probably never been a better time to be a fan of diet cherry-flavored colas.

As part of a big push for the Coke Zero brand, The Coca-Cola Company introduced Coca-Cola Cherry Zero a few months back. I must say I was very impressed by the real Coke taste and the more subdued cherry flavoring. A big hit if you ask me! (Note: This is not a picture of me, just another big Coca-Cola Cherry Zero fan.)

In additional cherry news, Coke has not discontinued making Diet Coke Cherry, even with the expansion of the Zero line. In fact, I purchased a Fridge Pack of it just yesterday. The cherry flavoring is a bit stronger in the Diet Coke version, which in my opinion leads to a sweeter taste. By the way the new Diet Coke packaging aesthetic is great, I love the minimalist designs.




I'm not sure how this slipped by my radar earlier, but Diet Rite has rather recently started marketing a Cherry Cola. You'll notice from the label that this diet cherry cola is sweetened with Splenda brand sweetener. I haven't had the opportunity to sample this one yet, but if it is as good as the other flavors in the Diet Rite line, I'm sure it will be great!





And finally, not to be outdone, Diet Pepsi has updated the packaging for Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry along with the other products in the Diet Pepsi line. I'm guessing that since this cherry is "Wild" it's for the more adventurous diet cherry cola fan. :-) Check it out here.

So what do you make of the sudden popularity of diet cherry colas?
