Diet Coke

Zero-calorie Coca-Cola

Diet Coke is the Coca-Cola Company's sugar-free cola, introduced in 1982 and now one of the world's best-selling soft drinks.

It uses artificial sweeteners instead of sugar.

The drink has become culturally associated with office workers and casual dieters: She grabbed a Diet Coke from the break room fridge.

Sometimes shortened to DC in casual speech.
