Question 1

Where’s the caffeine free Diet Coke? I can’t find it anywhere.

Accepted Answer

I have called Coca-Cola over seven times in the last three or four months. Not only that, I have spoken to numerous retailers as well as several of their bottling plants.  They are obviously concealing something… Probably some half naked marketing scheme dreams up by some middle-management moron. It’s true that they are still claiming a shortage of aluminum cans, But that is complete crap because I have a good friend who runs in Major East Coast metals recycling operation, and says that any aluminum shortage that once existed is long since over, and that it is plentiful in supply.  Strange how this did not affect Pepsi and any of their major or subordinate product. If you will notice, your grocers shelves are filled with more 12 pack 12 ounce canned regular Coke, Diet Coke, and sprite than ever before, but yet there is no caffeine free or caffeine free diet to be found anywhere on the entire East Coast. Coca-Cola is simply lying to you… And they are lying to a good number of their own employees as well, and thus having them deceive the public on a daily basis.   Here in Maryland it has been in excess of six months since any caffeine free or caffeine free diet cans have been available anywhere on the market. About 10 years back, caffeine free Coke was also made in 16 ounce plastic bottle six packs. Coca-Cola discontinued that and chose to produce the product and only 2 L bottles Or 12 ounce cans. There is definitely no plastic shortage, and I recently challenged Coca-Cola to begin remodeling the product in 16 ounce bottles. All I got was a continual line of rhetoric as to how much time and money it would cost to change the product over in the bottling plants. That too is a lie, because they received the syrup in bulk, and after a quick cleaning of the lines, they can be set up to dispense any product.

I’m afraid the only way we are going to see caffeine free or caffeine free diet Coke return to the market in 12 ounce cans is to flood them with letters and complaints, and possibly even boycott the brand.  Well they pretend to be customer centric, and train their telephone and administrative personnel to be extremely apologetic and polite, behind the scenes they are guilty of subscribing to a vulgar policy known as “strategic corporate ignorance“, where the corner offices have a different agenda, and protect themselves from contact and comment to the public through a myriad of administrative ploys and stall tactics.

Personally, I have completely stopped drinking any and all coat products, and suggest the readers do the same.

Question 2

where can I purchase diet caffeine free Diet Coke?

Accepted Answer

In Orlando, Winn Dixie, Publix, and my Wal-Mart Marketplace.  These are places I first began to see it after several months.  Saw it early on day of Coke delivery at Winn Dixie first.

Question 3

In Oct 2022, where is the diet caffeine-free coke? There’s no shortage of aluminum now.

Accepted Answer

I purchase mine on Amazon and also at the Kroger grocery stores.

Question 4

Is this 36 cans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. And you should buy it from Sam's Club instead. (35) 12 oz cans (yes, 35, not 36) for $18, up $6 since the pandemic, but still way better than buying (36) 12oz cans for $35.
