If you’re a big fan of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, you may want to brace yourself. The recipe for your beloved drink is changing

Coca-Cola has confirmed that it is tweaking the beverage to make it taste more like regular Coke.

The product’s can will also look different — all red, rather than red and black.

The move comes as Coca-Cola focuses its resources trademark products. The company hopes the updated version of Coke Zero will attract more consumers.

“We’re constantly looking to deliver the best possible Coca-Cola taste to our consumers with the goal of meeting, and hopefully exceeding, their expectations,”
Coca Cola Said in a statement

The new version, which will replace the current one, is rolling out in the United States this month. It will hit Canada in September

Coca-Cola has already updated the product in some international markets.

The beverage giant did not say exactly how it was changing the recipe in the United States. However, it did note that the new version should taste “more refreshing and delicious.”

Coca-Cola first launched Coke Zero in 2005

In 2017, it tweaked the product’s recipe and rebranded it as Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. At the time, the change was also upsetting to some drinkers. One Twitter user begged the company to “bring back Coke Zero,” adding “#CokeZeroSugar is gross.” Another called the new iteration “awful.”

Major financial firms’ stocks fell sharply after an AI tax tool launch, raising investor fears of disruption in advisory services.

Shares of major financial services firms tumbled after the launch of a new AI-powered tax planning tool. LPL Financial dropped nearly 11%, while Charles Schwab and Raymond James Financial fell more than 9%, signalling investor concern over AI disrupting traditional advisory services.

Morgan Stanley also saw a 4% decline as fears grow that AI could replace some of the most profitable offerings of established firms. Earlier this year, the introduction of other AI models already caused turbulence in software stocks, suggesting this could be a broader trend affecting multiple sectors.

The iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers and Securities ETF was down 4% on Tuesday, reflecting the market-wide uncertainty surrounding AI adoption in finance. Investors are closely watching whether AI will complement or cannibalise the industry’s core services.
