I mean people are still buying the sugared version of Coke not the Zero, right?

It's not a straightforward case:

In one study, published in 2008 in the journal "Obesity," researchers studied more than 5,000 participants for up to eight years and found that the waistlines of people who drank diet soft drinks increased 70 percent more than people who didn't drink diet soda.

Yes, but you know the "with fries and make it large, but diet coke, I am trying to lose weight tee hee hee" stereotype, right? :) Usually diet coke is drunk by people who are fighting their unhealthy habits, as it seems people who always had healthy ones are more content with water.

The fact that the stereotype exists doesn't mean that the strategy works. It only shows that the marketing works.
