The ‘fridge cigarette’ rivalry
6/4/202629 min
Today, we’re talking about a conversation that plays out with work friends at 3pm, or while ordering a seedy Uber Eats meal on Sunday: are you a Diet Coke or a Coke Zero person? Coke has been at the centre of culture for a long, long time, thanks to the Pepsi x Coke rivalry and huge celeb endorsements, but a new competition has been taking place in the last few years: Coke Zero vs Diet Coke. So, how exactly did Coke Zero dethrone Diet Coke? Love the podcast? You'll adore our weekly newsletter, too.

You are my wonderful co-host, Madison Sullivan-Thorpe. How are you, Mads? I'm fantastic. I'm just, like, having a great week. I had my mum stay over last night and we had, like, ultimate girls night. We watched the Kylie doco, I cooked dinner, like, it was just really fun. Nothing better than reverting back to that mother-daughter, like, childlike state. I always do that with my mum. We, like, do shopping days. I, like, hold her hand in public- [laughs] ... and then we'll go home and watch a movie. Like, I love that time together. Girl things, sheet masks, all the things.
