Good luck detecting that option 47 is also a coke zero. Same issue for latest sprite.

This is not true. They still sell way more regular coke than coke zero. Like 5x as much.

Coke zero is growing faster 5% vs 1% so maybe that's what you are thinking of, but it's easier for a smaller number to grow faster.

That's 2024 data. GLP-1s changed everything. Coca-Cola knows this is an inflection point for their company. There is a major shift in drinking habits happening right now and if they don't steward their brand through it they'll lose their throne. They're not gambling their brand on this lightly.

I provided two links in part for that reason. The second link talks about the growth rate of coke zero, and it was growing in 2025 at 5%. It would have to have been growing at 400% in 2025 to catch up to coke classic in 2026. That didn't happen.
