In a bid to taste as close to the normal Coke as possible, Coke Zero contains an ingredient called sodium citrate to mimic that full-fat, full-sugar taste (yum!).
However, Diet Coke doesn’t claim to taste similar to its full-sugared version, so it includes citric acid instead.
Yes, citric acid is the reason why our heart breaks every time a Diet Coke is delivered instead of a Coke Zero.
