Coke C2

[Anonymous]

So Coke has this new drink half half the calories of normal Coke. It also features Aspartame - the artifical sweetener used in Equal and most diet drinks on the market, and proven to have harmful side effects - and Sucralose - the artifical sweetener used in Splenda and drinks like Diet Rite and some variants of Pepsi, which is basically sugar with chloride attached so your body doesn't digest it.

It tastes pretty good, but both side tastes of Aspartame and Sucralose are present - the bitter aftertaste of the former is semi-present, and the smooth strangeness of Sucralose, combined with the tangy bite of sugary syrup collecting at the back of your tongue.

That is to say, it's ok, but not to different from other Coke products, both in taste and its statistics. They should focus on making a diet drink with about a fourth or a tenth of the calories, as opposed to only halving it.

Im not gonna waste my time with that c2, why? if im gonna drink diet, its going to be diet. not half way there and still taste like crap... regular coke tastes too good, but high calories so i drink diet coke "0" calories. but its not too bad once you get used to the slight aftertaste. im not gonna get used to a "half-way" coke when i can enjoy a regular one once in a while.... coke, give me a break

Does sucralose have any side effects? My girlfriend loves Splenda.

Most of that stuff does, even if we dont know it. diet coke contains aspartame and it has a potential for causing cancer. could have sworn at one time diet coke used "nutrasweet" i can even picture it on the label...
