I don't think so. I think the Zero sugar label has erythritol (main ingredient in Splenda) and the Diet label has aspartame the main ingredient in Sweet 'n' Low, which is why many calorie free soda drinkers complain about drinks labeled Diet tasting more artificial.

After 40 years of drinking diet drinks, I've become acclimated to their taste.

I've had some zero sugar and can't recall what it tasted like. Lately I bought diet faygo cola and it tasted flat. Strange since it did have some fizz to it.

Oh yes, it is my favorite. I seriously thought it was regular at first the other night.

I noticed in the past year or two that various diet soda brands have been coming out with "zero-sugar" versions. And for me, every single zero-sugar soda tastes far better than the diet version. It has a slightly sweeter taste and not too much of the aftertaste of diet.

I recently tried Zero Sugar Mountain Dew, AW Root Beer, Coke Zero, and Dr. Pepper.
The Zero taste better than the diet, IMO. I drink Coke Zero (taste like the real thing) and I've tried Zero Dr. Pepper (rare and hard to find). They both taste like their real counterparts. The diet versions have the horrible after-taste.

I really like diet Pepsi, just the right amount of sweetness to make it similar to regular soda.

I prefer Diet over Zero. I like the harshness of Diet soda and although Zero tastes more like regular soda, after all these years of drinking diet soda, I don't like the sweet smoothness of regular soda. But then I like the harshness of whiskey neat.
