Well, since all soda pop started using Corn Syrup instead of sugar, I've never found anything much that remended me of when I was a kid and it was made with real cane sugar....until now. I really like this stuff, it reminds me of the original Coke...only it's not as bad as all the soda's of today :)

I think it's silly making a low-carb Coke when they already have a no-carb Coke. It's called "Diet Coke."

I'm waiting for Diet Caffeine Free C2 with Lemon" before I cast judgement.  :P

First off Diet drinks have more sodium than regular sodas......and diet pop tastes like "Diet" pop....this doesn't :)

I was looking forward to trying this, since it is supposed to have Splenda in it. (or, at least, that's what I'd heard)  I saw it in the store the other day and was disappointed to find out that it also has aspartame in it. (to which I am allergic)  I've heard a lot of good things about it...no aftertaste, etc. 

This is a really good idea but I really don't care for it because I drink diet coke. But I will eventually stop drinking that too. Pop is not good for you. And aspartame gives you cancer.

Just saw this today at the store.  AND Pepsi Edge...same thing.  Haven't tried either yet, but I'll probably try the Pepsi product first. ;)

That's your problem...j/k ;)

LOL!  ;D  Excuse me while I sit back and enjoy my Sierra Mist... ;)

Guess I can't judge it before I try it, but I am truly sick of everything becoming low-carb.  Soon we will be building low-carb snowmen and pumping low-carb gasoline into our cars.

I'll stick with my Diet Cherry Coke.  Or Sierra Mist  ;D  I'm not into this whole low carb craze.

I'm a Diet Vanilla Coke ADDICT!  I only drink diet soda, so I might try C2, but I doubt I will drink it frequently.

So,why don't they just call it CC instead why C2 or C to the 2nd Power?  ;D


Howard

Cuz' C2 is cooler 8)


Oh, and I tried some of this at the grocery store.  IT WAS NASTY!!!!!!!  No aftertaste, my butt >:(


When will they ever learn?  ::)

The taste and total drinking experience of original Coca Cola can not be improved upon.  :P

I agree.  And I just have to say that the McDonald's mix is like liquid crack :D


It's why my kids never get Coke with their Happy Meals!  ;D

After all I've heard about McDonalds "Beef" over the years....thier theme song should be "Happy Trails"...Giddy-Up....YUK!"  ::)

It makes no difference to me.  I like regular Coca-Cola, in fact, I wish they'd make it with pure cane sugar.  I'd pay extra for that.  I don't keep it at home, but I drink it elsewhere.  I love plain old seltzer water, believe or not, then I heard that "gives you cancer" just like everything else enjoyable.
I can't wait 'till they discover raw vegetable juices and organic tofu are stealth killers, I'll laught until I have a stroke!

That's better than Burger King where the burgers are referred to as "man's best friend"

;D

I analyzed the ingredients of C2, and it's basically just a blend of regular Coke and Diet Coke, thus, you can make your own. Also, you can make your own no caffein C2!  I verified my findings by asking a Coke truck driver/delivery man at the grocery store who agreed with me that C2 was about a 50/50 mix of Diet and regular Coke.  I would rather Coke use sucralose than aspartame.  Well, that's my two centavos.

Hmmm... I had the same suspicion.  A 50/50 mix probably would not taste too nasty.

Of course it still would not be as good as 100% Real Thing.

No, I didn't like it. I did try the new Pepsi Extra, which has sucrelose (sp?) instead of aspartame. I like it a little better, but it hasn't gotten me out my regular Pepsi habit. ;)

Well,they already have Snap 2-0 or some other weird name for any other drinks. ::)

Just an FYI - diet drinks don't necessarily have more sodium. In the case of Coca-Cola, the Diet version actually has less sodium.

And if you're on a low-carb diet, C2 isn't really a good option anyway - it's still got sugar. Drink 2 cans of it, and you might as well have drunk one regular Coke, for the amount of carbs and calories you're getting. C2 doesn't really help anyone on a diet, and who else is going to care?

But C2 has less carbs and that's the big thing.

;D ;D

Like It

I'm a hypocrite. I like drinking Mt. Dew.

But my girlfriend drinks the sheesh out of Pepsi, so I got her some C2 and some Pepsi Edge to try. She didn't like them. The reason I'm a hypocrite is that I didn't want her drinking all that sugar... ::)

Just tried it for the first time last night and being a bonafide Coke (a-Cola) head, I'd have to say that it's the closest thing to "The Real Thing" that they've ever come up with. It doesn't have the "bite" or "punch" of regular Coke but I think I'm going to give it a try (considering I'm on a low-carb diet). At least it doesn't have that saccharin (sp?) after taste.

You've sold me, think I'll give it a try!

Mountain Dew drinker, eh?

You must be a zombie with all that caffeine.  :P

I'd like to see a product called Coke Cane, which would be made with real cane sugar.

I like it!

I saw a huge display of this at another local grocery store.  Regular Coke products were on sale for $4.50/24 pack.  This was $5.99 (on sale) for an 18 pack.
Yeah, it's a bit pricey but I only drink it a couple times a month :)

It would be cheaper to buy Coke and Diet coke, then mix your own blend.

It makes no difference to me.  I like regular Coca-Cola, in fact, I wish they'd make it with pure cane sugar. 


I agree!  Old Coke, in which they used to use real sugar, was so much better than the stuff they pass off now as "Classic".  Not that Coke is supposed to be healthy, but I'd rather drink something with sugar than something with high fructose corn syrup.  :D

They still use sugar in Coke in countries outside the US, btw. (at least I think they do)  Maybe you can get someone to send you Coke "care packages".  ;)

The reason that Coke uses corn syrup in the USA and cane sugar everywhere else in the world is because the American Government regulates the price of cane sugar in the USA.  Sugar costs more in the USA than anywhere else  in the world.

So, because American cane growers cannot exist without sucking at the breast of the Government, John Q. Public has to put up with products sweetened with corn syrup.

This is also why most candy production has moved overseas.  Sugar coosts too much here.

What a shame and a waste of American dollars.  >:(

Thing is,it might be taken off shelves cause people would think they're drinking Cocaine.Not Coke-Cane. ;D

Here's a link to the link between Coca Cola and Cocaine.  It's one of those legends that's true, but not significantly true.

And the only Soda they haven't named differently yet is Slice,Tab, and a few others...


Howard

Well i don't imagine we will ever get to taste it in the U.K.
We still use sweetners here that have been banned in America in all our 'Diet' stuff so even if we did get it it won't taste the same anyway !!

Actually, Tab has come out in any number of versions, including the AWESOME Tab Clear that came out in the early 1990's.

Oh yummy!  Harsh chemical aftertaste in a multitude of artificial flavors!  Those rip-top soda cans bring back memories of my childhood.
:)

They've come out with other flavors of both of those.  I think Slice is coming out with a berry flavored one (or already did).  I'd rather they come up with a different name than just keep adding flavors.


They have Diet Slice, too.

Wow,I almost forgot about those other TAB flavors. :o

Why would you want them to change the name?  ???

I mean, if Coca-Cola suddenly changed the name of the basic cola, currently called "Coca-cola Classic", to something like "Zaptastic cola" would that make you more or less likely to buy it?

Brand names are important.  ;)

I kid you not...

My local grocery store carries a "Blue Bubble Gum" flavoured soda.  :o

I've never tried it though.  Sounds disgusting.  :-\\

LB

Anyone ever try "Big Red"?  It's.. well, red.  And tastes like bubblegum.  Disgusting.  :-X

Would New York Grocery Stores sell this crappy soda,I don't know if I'm willing to try it. :P

Well considering that I don't even remember it must've ben unsuccessful.
