Coke 2
So I tried Coke 2 yesterday. It's been highly anticipated by my low carb fanatic customers out there who don't like the aspertame in their diet coke. I thought it would be interesting to see how they would sweeten it.
When we went to the states in August we had our eye out for it, I wanted to try it and see if they truly made it taste the same. We had no luck finding it. But yesterday on my break, when I went for lunch they had coke 2 for sale at the grocery store.
I bought a bottle, AT FIRST I was impressed. I didn't expect it to taste EXACTLY the same as coke, but it was closer than diet coke. Now to check the label. I turned it over and was now not impressed at all. The But-heads at coke added aspertame! I couldn't belief it, The just created a worse product for your health and they have been advertising it as better. Glancing at the label again, they added even more caffeine than the original... OMG!
On the plus side, if I really need some caffeine in my system and Buzz Cola isn't around I can always use this.
In the end, I'm not impressed at all... Now you can have the joys of sugar, aspertame and even more caffeine all in one bottle, I guess as they say, better living through chemistry.
Oh well. I'm sure the Atkins freaks out there will still drink it, of course that will suck up all the carbs they are allowed in a day.

Coke is grody. When will people learn?
I didn't really like coke 2 either. It was better than diet coke I think but quite weak in comparison to the original coke. I wish they would stop pissing around with coke. The got a good product and they should just stick to that. I remember a long time ago sometime in early high school or maybe earlier, that Dave and I were discussing coke. I'm pretty sure that they changed the formula sometime round then to taste weaker. I mean, it has a really good bite to it when I was a kid but suddenly it lost the edge. I dunno maybe I'm just growing old.
