About ColaSnob

Find and rate Diet Coke near you.

What this is

ColaSnob is a free, community-built map of U.S. places that have Diet Coke, with 1–5 quality ratings. There are no accounts — anyone can report what they find, and a map of where the good fountain Diet Coke lives slowly takes shape.

How the availability engine works

Individual people don't flip a location's status — an automated engine does, and it's deliberately conservative. In plain English:

  • Each report is weighted by the contributor's track record — people whose past reports held up count for more — and by recency, so a fresh report outweighs a stale one.
  • A location only changes status when several independent people agree (distinct contributors, not the same person reporting twice). One outlier can't move it.
  • Ratings use a Bayesian average, so a single 5-star rating doesn't rocket a brand-new spot to the top of the list.
  • Admins can correct anything — fix a typo, merge duplicates, or override a status — and every admin action is recorded.

We show our work because transparency is what makes crowdsourced data trustworthy.
