Caffeine in Coke Zero

Coke Zero was released by the Coca-Cola Company in 2005 in order to garner more of the young adult male market after they discovered Diet Coke was considered a woman's drink, according to the Huffington Post. Though Coke Zero and Diet Coke had different advertising campaigns to target different populations, they have virtually the same nutritional make-up. In addition, they both contain caffeine and between 1 to 4 calories per can -- anything under 5 calories does not need to be reported on nutrition label -- and are fat-free, protein-free, and carb-free.
