Been mixing regular Coke and Coke Zero lately to reduce carbs.

Tastes almost the same as the Real Thing. I like it.

I wish one or both would come out with a non sugar and artificial sweeter cola. We get flavored seltzer water at Safeway but no cola flavor. It is very refreshing. You get used to it just like low fat milk.

Why don’t they put REAL sugar in their drinks and leave out the crap? Then, I MIGHT drink it.

I mix them with cranberry juice on crushed ice.”

Throw in a splash or two of Pomegranate vodka and you have created a winner!

I guess they haven’t heard that diet sodas cause bigger blood sugar spikes than regular sodas. It’s a bit like the car makers agreeing to high mileage standards by selling more lighter weight death traps.

I remember when Coca-Cola tasted great back in the 50s and 60s. I haven’t drank their product for many many years. I never did like Pepsi. Well heck, I don’t have anything to give up or boycott.

Priceless. And exactly what I was thinking.

If these idiots start tampering with the formulas of their beloved soft drinks, they'll NEVER hear the end of the complaints.

I remember what a stink it was in 1986.

Sadly, though, the average American schlub MIGHT just accept it nowadays.

on Tuesday pledged to reduce beverage calories consumed per person nationally by 20% by 2025.

I wonder which brand will ruin themselves first?
