Coke Zero was targeted to men, 18 to 34, who don’t want the sugar and calories in regular soda but don’t like the taste of artificial sweetener. The target considered Diet Coke a girl’s drink which had a gender and age segmentation. The consumer then started to become more healthy-conscious, and the image of regular carbonated soft drink is deteriorating rapidly.
