"Diehard "fridge cig" fans know that nothing hits like a Diet Coke. But, if Diet Pepsi's more your style, then we've found just the affordable swap your weekly grocery bill has been craving. Tasting Table taste-tested five diet colas other than Coke and Pepsi, and in the ranking, Diet Big K left competitor colas flat. Big K is Kroger's private label brand, and the Kroger website promises "the perfect classic diet cola flavor" from its soda. Given its ranking, our taste tester can absolutely concur."
"Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi famously offer unique taste profiles, with the former being crisp and a tad citrus-flavored and the latter leaning sweeter and bolder with subtle caramel tones. Diet Big K trods firmly in Pepsi territory. As our taste-tester noted in their ranking, "I was impressed by the immense amount of carbonation this had ... There was also an accompanying sweetness and spiciness to it that brought it to a higher level in taste.""
Five diet colas were taste-tested, and Kroger's Diet Big K ranked highest among competitors. Diet Big K delivers a bold, true cola taste that leans toward Diet Pepsi's sweeter, bolder profile rather than Diet Coke's crisper, citrus notes. The soda features high carbonation, noticeable sweetness, and a spicy note that enhances flavor, creating a satisfying mouthfeel described as a thinner version of Diet Pepsi. Online shoppers and forum commenters express strong loyalty to Big K as an affordable, effective alternative to name-brand diet colas. Kroger's private-label positioning provides comparable taste at significantly lower cost.
