Diet Coke is a sugar-free and low-calorie soft drink created by the Coca-Cola Company. Introduced in the United States in 1982, it utilizes artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. It was the first new brand to use the Coca-Cola trademark since Coca-Cola's creation. Diet Coke quickly surpassed the company's previous diet cola offering, Tab, in popularity and sales.
In 1958, Diet Rite was introduced, marking the entry of diet colas into the market. This event occurred before the Coca-Cola Company decided to use the Coca-Cola name for its own diet cola.
In 1963, Coca-Cola released its diet cola named Tab, due to a long-standing company policy of using the Coca-Cola name only on its flagship cola.
In 1970, Cyclamates were banned in the U.S.
On July 8, 1982, Diet Coke, a sugar-free and low-calorie soft drink, was unveiled by the Coca-Cola Company, marking the first new brand to use the Coca-Cola trademark since 1886.
In 1982, Diet Coke was launched by Coca-Cola, and it quickly overtook Tab in sales.
In 1983, Diet Coke in the U.S. was sweetened with aspartame, an artificial sweetener.
In 1985, the controversial New Coke was introduced, using a version of the Diet Coke recipe with high-fructose corn syrup and a slightly different balance of ingredients.
In 2005, Coca-Cola Zero was introduced. It is a sugar-free formula more closely based on original Coca-Cola.
In 2005, under pressure from Walmart, a new formulation called "Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda" was released. It featured sucralose and acesulfame potassium replacing aspartame.
By late 2009, most distributors had stopped distributing the Splenda-formulated Diet Coke.
In 2018, Diet Coke was packaged in a taller, more slender can to appeal to millennials, and four new flavors were introduced.
In 2020, Coca-Cola discontinued Tab, along with other slower-selling drinks, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
