So I read the schpiel on this stuff:

http://www2.coca-cola.com...la_c2.html

and I've come to the same conclusion I arrived at when I first saw it on the shelves at Walgreen's last weekend.

WHAT'S THE POINT?

"Kinda" diet soda? Has our culture become this passive-aggressive?

Oy.

BLASPHEMY!!!

Listen, fuck that. There's a bigger problem.

Has anyone else heard that they are doing away with 2 liter bottles of coke in favor of 1.5 liter bottles or some shit??

What the hell??

WHAT???

Anxiety said:

I'm serious! Is this a regional thing or what??

this is an OUTRAGE. i haven't seen this shit go down in my grocery store yet. is diet coke with lemon/lime going to be affected by this????

Anxiety said:

They'll probably screw with the rythym by switching it to "lime/lemon" those beyyatches!!

Has no one else heard of this 1.5 liter fiasco??

This is why I only drink pickle juice.

Damn...what is this, some sort of communist plot??

I'm calling my senator!

There is also Pepsi Edge. http://www.pepsiedge.com/...i_edge.swf

that stuff tastes like pledge.

Anxiety said:

This crap is so much a fad that I just can't believe it. Just watch it go the way of Clear Pepsi or whatever that brand of transparent battery acid was.

Which is just as bad. They are supplementing the less sugar with the artificial sweetener sucralose like in diet sodas. With the same bad aftertaste.

The artificial sweetener sucralose is one of the up-and-coming "next generation" of high-intensity sugar substitutes.

How it is Manufactured

Sucralose is produced by chlorinating sugar (sucrose). This involves chemically changing the structure of the sugar molecules by substituting three chlorine atoms for three hydroxyl groups.

co-sign! I prefer just regular diet coke.

Anxiety said:

I like to think of it more as becoming more tolerant and
willing to find the middle ground.

I say they should go back to using cocoa leaves as one of their ingredients!!

I bought 2 today...

One for our Coke collection...

and One to try later...I'll get back to you.

Lower Carbs Coke...
Cherry Coke...
Diet Coke with Lime...

Revolution said:

Regular Coke with grenadine is even better!

i want my sodapop to be 90% nicotene. period.

starkitty said:

kinda smells like it, too.

aw man, i really like diet coke with lemon.

(though i'll admit, regular ol' diet coke with a squeeze of RealLemon is better...but i'm lazy)

it's gonna be icky

Put enough Jack Daniels in it and this whole debate is moot.

2the9s said:

I don't want no icky NEW new Coke , just pass the Jack!

i would rather pound back my own ass juice with a cocktail onion garnish skewer and a clamato back than endure even the most petite sip of C2.

Upon first taste test....

NOT BAD AT ALL...

I didn't notice any flavor difference, but I did notice that I didn't feel
that "bloated" feeling that i sometimes get with reg coke.



I'M DRINKING THIS AND NOTHING ELSE!!!
