coke zero suks ass

i see obese people that eat horrible tripe at my work and think that they can fix it all by drinking diet drinks

or by eating white chocolate.

thats the worst for you of all of them... white chocolate has low to zero of the heath benefits of chocolates, it only has the milk solids and fats, but none of the coca goodness.

f you want to eat choc thats good for you go the 60-70% cocoa lindt stuff.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Zero

Coca-Cola Zero is a product of the Coca-Cola company, released in June 2005. It is a sugar-free variation of Coca-Cola Classic, sweetened with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium. This product is different from Diet Coke because of the sweeteners it uses (Diet Coke only uses aspartame), and because, unlike Diet Coke, this product is based on the original Coca-Cola formula. Diet Coke was an entirely new formula which would eventually become the basis for the controversial New Coke (later renamed Coke II).

Coca-Cola Light

Contrary to popular belief, Coca-Cola Zero is not a new product. The same blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium along with the Coca-Cola Classic formula has been available for quite some time in many European countries which were never exposed to New Coke. Commonly called Coca-Cola Light or Coca Light in Europe, the Coca-Cola Zero formula is identical to that used in foreign countries.

In addition to never having been introduced to New Coke, part of the basis for the decision to market this different product was determined by health regulations in the various countries. In 1970 both the United States and the United Kingdom placed a ban on cyclamates due to fears of possible carcinogenic effects. The ban on acesulfame potassium was lifted in the mid 1980's in all countries except Canada, which approved its use in 1994.

The lifting of the ban and new studies refuting the carcinogenic nature of acesulfame potassium paved the way for a more broad use of the compound across the globe, and allowing for the long standard European version of Diet Coke to come to North America.

Controversy

Despite current studies indicating the safety of aspartame and acesulfame potassium there are still wide concerns amongst consumers about the safety of these compounds. More information about this controversy can be found in the main article on diet Coca-Cola products, or the articles on the compounds in question.

This product is not to be confused with "Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda," which is based on the Diet Coke/New Coke/Coke II formula and is sweetened with sucralose (under the trademark Splenda). It is also not to be confused with Coke C2, a 45-calorie variant of Coca-Cola Classic.

Well, after taking the time to read your nice lil explaination there, Khem, I think we were both on the same wavelength. So, my explaination is basically a simpler version of your own...

"If you can drink something that is clearly without sugar, yet tastes so similar to Coke, you'd have to ask yourself just how many chemical alterations it would take to get from Point A to Point B. So, instead of No Sugar on the label, I think I'd be more comfortable with Not tested on animals."

i'll just stick to my one true love... normal coke. nothing beats a cold can of coke from the vending machine at work on a hot day or in the middle of the night when we gotta unload a truck.

why is everyone forcing coke zero all of a sudden? pretty soon, the original coke circuit will be forced underground, and it will reappear in about 12 months' time as 'original classic coke'

just you wait and see...

until then, im going to found a new underground coke den, where all forms of rotting-tooth pleasure will be available for those who crave 'it'.

Are you obese? Diabetic? Are your insides all rotted out? Do you still have your teeth?

Eww.

even tho i said i dug coke zero at the start of this thread, i can see myself sticking with the original... was good to try something different, but it just aint the same. as a person who doesnt drink coffee, i really need the caffiene and sugar that only real coke can provide.

i am in agreeance mr khemopants

although i think its better than fiet crud and pepsi, i try not to drink any fizzy drink unless its mineral water, so if i do lash out, 9 out of 10 it will the classic coke.

mmmm cola goodness

Crap alcohol maybe. If you need coke to put with a spirit there is something wrong with what your drinking.

Cognac on the rocks, Grey Goose and Soda or a good 'ol G&T is where its at.

I would drink about 2 litres of Regular Coke per day. I'm addicted to that shit, it's like crack to me!

What is the world coming to that we have product placement inside our forums? I shouldn't even be posting in here out of disgust. This is just gonna move the topic back up the list when it should be in the bin just like coke zero.

Any soft drink product without sugar is just a crock of shit. Did you know that the artificial flavour in diet soft drinks gives you cancer. Give me the sugar any day. At least sugar can be counteracted with excercise and brushing of the teeth, not that I'm very good at either of those things!

This goes either way for me, it depends on the cognac

Corvoisier VS/Remy Martin: with coke
Corvoisier VSOP: on the rocks or neat in heated brandy balloon (depends on my mood but on the rocks is my fave)
Hennesey VSOP: Heated brandy balloon

If I feel like something Cokey and alcoholic I have a Scotch and Dry.
It's kind of Cokey, but without the Coke!

Good to see someone with a taste for how Cognac should be drunk!

Anyone like Armagnac! I love it! The more fiery taste goes down a treat, if you're gonna drink any type of "gnac" on the rocks then that would be it imho

Tried one of these on the weekend and have to say I dig it. Pepsi sucks, and it is much better than Diet Coke, not that it would be hard...

What do you think of the 'new' Coke?

I LOVED it!

I don't like Diet Coke (although my Nanna has shown my a bushy trick, you can actually wash your hands in Diet Coke and they don't go sticky!)

Real Coke gives me fur on my teeth, and I don't like Pepsi.

However, I do prefer cola in a glass or a can, hate plastic. I loved the Japanese vending machines where you can get a can of coke, but with a screw top lid. A whole can is a commitment, and I can't always follow through.
