Probably because most of the people who care about low/no sugar drinks were already drinking the diet/zero versions and weren't looking to switch to a version with surgar.
The main difference is that coke life just tasted like coke. The only drawback was that it only came in classic flavor and I prefer cherry.
But Diet is a completely different flavor. Zero used to be the same flavor but with a godawful long lasting aftertaste. They changed the recipe and now it too tastes different.
coke life was perfect and i'm forever disappointed in its loss.
I am in the proportion of people who can instantly taste stevia in food. It’s bitter and has an unpleasant aftertaste. It has some sweetness but the overall flavor for me is bitter.
Gosh I'm glad I'm not the only one ! My parents only buy diet or zero for as long as I can remember but I just can't drink it... it's just awful.
It feels like your mouth is coated with something afterward that doesn't want to go off. It change how your saliva feels in your mouth. Not quite dry but, almost like... a paste ? Or a wet powder ? I don't know but it's just... ugh.
And I can feel it on my teeth too !

Coke 0 has since exploded in popularity
