Coke C2

[Veramocor]

Well Coke C2 has been out for quite awhile. What are everybodies opinions on it?

I tried it and didn't like it. Yes its half the calories/sugar, but they still use aspartame as the sweetness makeup ingredient. So you still get the artificial flavor taste, albeit much less. If I wanted that taste I would get the zero calorie Diet coke.

I think Coke missed an opporunity to release a really good soda and should have tried to formulate a soda with alcohol sugars like lactitol, which is used in sugar free candies. It has half the calories, plus it doesn't raise blood sugar.

 

Why dont you do a search and find out?

You seem somewhat anal about your soft drinks. Seek counseling.

How about you quit drinking soft drinks altogether. There is nothing in them that is good for you and much that is bad for you.

When you are out just order a glass of iced tea, without sugar, and enjoy your culinary experience without all the sugar and preservatives.

Quoted for truth and validity. This man knows what he's talking about.

EDIT: to clarify, I'm the OP of the original Coke C2 thread, but I just bought it because I like to try new things. I don't currently have any soda in my house, nor have I had any for the last 8 months or so.

Haven't seen it or tried it yet.

 

[FrustratedUser]

I tried it yesterday. Pretty good.
Not as sweet as the normal and the aspartane taste is well 'hidden'.

C2 was awful. I bought an 8 (EIGHT?!?) pack and drank exactly half of one can. Maybe I'll give the rest to the dog.

My personal plan for half the calories is simply to mix half diet coke and half regular coke out of a soda fountain. This works great, and actually tastes pretty decent. Unfortunately, not much I can do at home unless I feel like creating some sort of science experiment with 2 liter bottles in my fridge.

aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sucralose, and good ole High Fructose corn syrup

half the calories, twice as lethal

Good for you..but...like it matters. You still apparently eat chocolate like there is no tommorow .

Yuk.

On a related note, Pepsi Edge is not AS horrible. It's better than Diet Pepsi, but still does not have enough of a Pepsi taste for me to drink.

Hey, chocolate DOES have redeeming qualities - it improves your mood!

Juices are just about as bad for you as sodas. It's nothing but sugar, and most juices you find have been heavily refined and chemicalized. Sure there are a few more vitamins but it doesn't hold a candle to real fruit itself.

 

[aphex]

Personally i like it

Gets chicks in the mood too

C2 tastes nothing like Diet Coke.

I prefer Diet Coke but I tried a C2 a couple of days ago. I was surprised that I liked it so much. I used to love Coke but it got to be where it was way too sweet for me. C2 isn't as sweet and doesn't leave that funky taste in your mouth but tastes just as good.

Went out yesterday and bought some more C2 and Diet Coke. I now have two favorite Cokes to drink.

 

[Modeps]

I like C2 quite a bit. Honestly, I think more than normal coke!

 

[Ns1]

pepsi > both

 

[TuxDave]

Tastes fine to me. The cut back on the high fructose corn syrup and add a little aspartame. It's like mixing 1/2 coke and 1/2 diet coke.

 

[Saulbadguy]

Sugar alchohols=BAD GAS!

 

[HiTek21]

taste like regular coke to me.

I actually like Pepsi Edge almost better than Pepsi. If they only made Cherry Pepsi Edge...

 

[randomlinh]

haven't tried pepsi edge, but i'd rather have diet coke than c2... call me crazy (that and I guess I'm used to it.. that's what my parents always had)
