Subject: New Coca Cola.

Written By: Gis on 05/13/06 at 4:31 pm

There is to be a new Coke in the U.K called 'Coke Zero' it is in a black can and is aimed at blokes, as they don't buy diet coke because it is classed as a girls drink. If they buy a 'diet' drink it will be another brand apparently hence the launch of 'zero' to lure those guys back !

That makes little sense at all. It is merely a marketing ploy.  ;D

We already have Coke Zero in the good old U. S. of A.  :P

Other Coca Cola concoctions that we've seen lately:

-Coke C2, which was 50% Coke and 50% Diet Coke  :-X

-Coke Blak, which is some sort of Coke + Coffee elixir  ::)

I'll have none of it.  I take my Coke straight up. Only "the real thing" for me.   :P

Coke Zero.. we have that. I never saw it marketed towards dudes, though.. I just saw it as an alternative to Diet.

And it IS indeed a lot better.

Any minute now I'm expecting a Coca-Cola product called, say, "Coke-NRG."  I'm surprised it's not here already. They'll try to horn in on the Red Bull market with ingredients such as glucuronolactone, anabolic steroids, taurine, chlorine, gasoline, viagra, methamphetamine, or whatever.

The Coca Cola company already has its own energy drink on the market, actually. It's called Full Throttle:

But there's no anabolic steroids or Viagra in it, though.  ;D
