They could reduce it by nearly 100% if they only sold diet pop.

Fewer subsidies for corn farmers?
They are falling for this gobelty gook do gooder crap hook, line and sinker. They will only kill their bottom line in the end.
Huge opening here for a smaller soda pop outfit to swoop in and steal a ton of market share.
Slurm!
If I had been an industry executive, I would have initiated something like this years ago. You can reduce sugar by 20% or more and still retain taste. Easily. My only concern about this is that somehow it’s another corporate effort to ingratiate themselves with or “partner” with government. In other words, more Obama-era fascism.
Hey, I’m down with that. I don’t drink a drop of their swill. I drink beer.
Best put yourselves out of business, then.
WHAT? No demand to de-CO2 their drinks? I also noticed the little bags of planters peanuts have a lot less salt in them now too. Not as good to me. Don’t know about others. But that’s just me.
Just get back to real sugar...and I’m good. Not syrup.

Since a Coke has 140 calories, reducing it by 2025 would give a soda containing -1885 calories. A Pepsi has 150 calories, so reducing that by 2025 would yield a drink with -1875 calories. I’ve think they’ve hit on a good diet plan there; a couple of those and you can put down three Baconators and still lose weight.
just keep upping the damn prices. last few years soda costs have doubled or more. the sale prices now were higher prices a few years ago.
The big three;
1. ED drugs
2. Baldness cure, not yet
3. Still waiting on tasty diet soda
Put out a good cherry phosphate for heavens sakes!
11 years to reduce the sugar content in soda???
I figure if we survive the Obama era and all the leftist execs that predated it, in about 20ish years it is going to be a golden era where companies profit as never before selling consumers everything they ever dreamed of.
Seriously. No joke.
Right now and in the immediate future, more of these idiot execs will push their own brand of social/economic/whatever justice. They will detonate themselves and their companies in the process just as many have before. Without govt subsidies and cronyism, they cannot endure. As increasing absurd regulation kills it’s own golden goose (liberal power), the landscape changes.
since the left is again ending it’s latest cycle of popularity as we see reflected in their own polling, more economics driven execs will either replace the idiots and turn around the failing companies or more likely,, build their own, delivering what consumers want and refuse to play along with an increasingly ignored govt. Black market or white.
When most of us simply stop playing the govt/lib game, we;ll get back into form.
Maybe Coke could go back to only selling 6.5 oz bottles, like they did before the 50s.
If they would go back to real cane sugar... Obesity would decline quickly.
Corn sugar is stored first as fat, then burned. Cane sugar does not like to be stored as fat and burns as energy first.
They could reduce calories 50% if they changed the label - two servings per can instead of one. That’s symbolic progress, and the far left only cares about symbolism (well, symbolism and power).
